    Does B5 1.6 share gearbox with any VW?

    shineydave, yes, I would only really consider quattro if it were to be a drag racer for the extra traction

    Does B5 1.6 share gearbox with any VW?

    hehe hypocrite but thanks for the pointer. I've seen an ETKA system, even had one installed but I don't remember it as any good. one thing to have a list of parts but without the information about the parts it's not useful. would it have information like flange sizes and mount patterns? that's...

    Does B5 1.6 share gearbox with any VW?

    I'll try to keep you up to date : ) I'm trying to make the motor power electronics for it as well so it is a bit unusual. may never happen

    Does B5 1.6 share gearbox with any VW?

    thanks again. very useful information. is the data you use something everyone can purchase? in the form of some official book. or any way to make it public domain. if others should need it. regarding lithium batteries I think you have misunderstood something. the very strength of lithium is...

    Does B5 1.6 share gearbox with any VW?

    I will be using a small lithium pack and a light electric motor. even hoping to come in under the weight of the original car : ) lead acid batteries are actually more expensive now than good lithium because of life span. how do you know about battery weight problems? have you looked into...

    Does B5 1.6 share gearbox with any VW?

    wow that looks like good information. where did you get it? just to be sure, you're not saying all these trannies are identical right? just that my B5 motor will fit all those? they presumably have differences in other aspects, like gear ratio and quattro etc? even compatible back to B3 and...

    Does B5 1.6 share gearbox with any VW?

    I'm looking into converting a 1.6L B5 to electric drive (that's right, electric) and to that end I need to make an adapter for the electric motor to go on the gearbox bell housing as well as fit flywheel and clutch. I would like to prepare all this before buying the car so I'm looking for a...

    2008 B7 Audi A4 Transmission

    ah perfection. if that's what you wanted why aren't you asking for electric drive instead.. that's right I said electric like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHtAkM3CYLA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqqtJpfZElQ the bike goes 0-100km/h in less than one second btw :) that's faster than a...

    New Wheels on my A6

    sure but I do think it looks heavier. also personally I would never choose an avant. for me it's a crime against the design. I like the rims which help any car it seems. odd how important that is but I'm hoping to be able to put the A8 replica 'turbine look' on if I get an Audi. 19 would be...

    New Wheels on my A6

    Ajo, take a look at marmite's RS6 above. just painting everything red will make it look like a clumsy overweight retarded girl. I'm just saying :) Audi's own S brochures have red cars with brushed metal side mirrors

    New Wheels on my A6

    I don't think it looks better with painted skirts. I think you would be happier with spending money on alu side mirrors like some RS models have. particularly the red color can benefit from those I think.

    1998 2.4V6 30v SE Suspension Creak

    friend of mine's father had a 97 2.4 A6 which had a wrong sound at slow speed in turns.was looked at under warranty several times but was never quite fixed. I didn't get the details about it at the time

    Too much time on my hands

    if you've run it into a tree at high speed it might be worth 2-3k£. otherwise I would expect double that. (if it is a C5, not a C4) also although I've never owned a car, 500£ seems high for a belt change

    Any general manufacturing issues with 97/98 C5?

    a friend of mine's father got one of the first A6s (a 2.4 manual) but as I recall there was an issue with tight turning at low speed in the front suspension and they said it was a general issue. are there any such general issues with the 97/98 C5 that one should look for before buying? something...
