    Uprated clutch

    Does anyone happen to know whether it is possible to get an uprated clutch for a 1998 A6 2.8 V6 30v Quattro? I think mine is beginning to slip and would rather avoid just putting another standard plate in if there is the option of one with a bit more grip.

    Nitrous?

    Has anyone tried a nitrous oxide kit in their motor? I'm tempted to give it a go in my 2.8 V6, should be an easy 25-50BHP but I wanna make sure it doesn't have too many adverse side-effects. Does anyone know of any installers in Sussex/Surrey? Nearer to Gatwick the better. Cheers

    2.8 V6 Engine

    Just a quick thread, can someone tell me what the idle speed for a healthy 2.8 V6 should be? Mine keeps trying to drop down to about 400rpm and just wondering if it's that which is causing stalling and whether it needs resetting. If that's about right then I need a new throttle valve. Cheers
