Any info on clutches

[Sanjman]

I found a link that shows how to replace the battery in your key. I wrote the DIY long time ago!

Randy, worth linking?

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=186233

[Quattro]

you bet ya! do you have to repair the key to the car after replacement?

[Sanjman]

you bet ya! do you have to repair the key to the car after replacement?

nope. I think I wrote that later down there, but I'll update it so its there in the DIY.
edit: guess its too late to edit... all the info is there if you scroll down anyways stating that reprogramming isn't needed.

[Quattro]

+rep :D

i need to change my battery, came in handy hhaha

[4ty-phive]

the spacer link on post #6 links to the test pipe discussion

Is anyone going to correct this? I mean if we are to direct newbs to this thread, shouldn't it be correct? Mods, are there anything you can do if the OP hasn't been around in a while?

[Quattro]

fixing right now, thought i took care of it.

[Quattro]

fixed.

[4ty-phive]

fixed.

Thanks

[ecb7]

Can anyone confirm a 2002 Audi A4 Quattro 3.0L sports suspension would fit on my B7 3.2L quattro ?
I have search but cannot confirm this.
thanks

[tiresmokindad]

I read your post. Thanks for the information quattro on the energy suspensions I was internested in moog for a while but it seems they may not be as good. I will do my best to reply more threads. I'll do my best to give information to the best of knowledge about cars.

[Quattro06]

DIY link to coilover and spring does not work.

[joeygriebel]

i am new to audis all together and this guide is great as far as pointing me in what direction i want to go with mods!

[FLYINGLEGGS]

Have any info on batteries?
Could add brands, their cold cranking amps, etc.
Application, such as the batts. that can be mounted sideways, upside down, etc.. in trunk as back up for big stereo builds.
My interest would be weight savings, as in switching to a Braille Battery. After all, dropping weight is just like adding power!
