S4 B6 Intake Manifold Linkage Flaps

[waarna]

Hello from Latvia.

My intake manifold flaps is broken and I lost one of flap. Maybe there is somewhere in internet shops some repair kits?
This is full repair kit: 079198327



I found on EBAY just those sticks for 2,7tdi and 3,0tdi engine. Is there something like that for BBK 4,2?

Gruvenparts makes an aluminum replacement that isn't cheap (US$80) but is still cheaper than the full kit. i've never tried these before, though, so i would definitely contact them to make sure it fits your car.

emilio,
I dont think that linkage fits our cars, it's made for the "other" v8's (belt drivens)

I will try to contact them. But in picture, it looks that doesn't fit our cars.

yeah, i've been a little suspicious of these whenever i saw them. they don't really give exact models, just the part number of the intake manifold it goes to. however, they do say it fits intake manifold part 079133185AB, which is the same part number given for the B6/B7 IM:

so, yes, it looks fatter and shorter than the one on the BHF's IM actuator, but according to their specs it should fit... like i said, it's best to just check with them. do let us know if it fits, though!

there is no part in our intake flap linkage that looks/performs like that one
