Audi/VW 4.2V8 Intake Linkage Arms !


GruvenParts.com 4.2L V8 Intake Manifold Linkage Arms Warranted for Life !

Got a 4.2L V8 Audi or VW ? Then you had better check your intake manifold actuator arms (p/n 077198327A)! The OEM versions quickly break, leaving your intake manifold rod stuck, causing poor idle, drivability, loss of power, and poor fuel mileage. This is a very common problem on the 4.2L V8.

Our intake manifold arms have an aerospace grade billet aluminum body with thread on carbon fiber composite ball end links. The composite end links are actually STRONGER than the aerospace grade aluminum body itself!

This is how we can warranty them for life!

Dont go to the VW/Audi dealer and pay upwards of $400 for the new actuator kit when all you need are the arms (the actuators themselves rarely fail). And DONT pay that kind of money for another set of plastic arms that will break in quick order.

Go with GruvenParts.com and NEVER WORRY ABOUT THIS AGAIN !

2004-2007 VW Phaeton V8
2003+ VW Touareg V8

VR6 Billet Aux Water Pump Bracket – All VR6

This part replaces the useless rubber donut OEM P/N 035-959-209E (035959209E) that does a poor job supporting your PRICEY auxiliary water pump, and related PRICEY hoses. The OEM rubber donut allows the weight of the pump and hoses to sag, causing stress which can lead to pump and hose failure. Our billet version is the way VW should of designed it to begin with and locks the pump and hoses tight! On or off track, this part will secure the aux pump and prevent pump and hose failure.

Replaces OEM P/N 035-959-209E (035959209E) common to the following vehicles -

Corrado - all VR6
Eos - 2007 + 3.2L VR6
Eurovan - All VR6

How 'bout some skid plates, preferably in aluminum? Our current options seem limited to top dollar (from Deutschland) or custom jobs.

[GruvenParts.com]

Could you provide dimensions or a template for us to make these? We are very interested and have the capabilility to build aluminum or steel skid plates. Please email, and thanks for the heads up!

I've hunted around for drawings or dimensions. But aside from photos, there don't appear to be any available online.

There's an underbody protection kit for the Cayenne that may fit the Touareg (see below links). A few threads on Club T'reg have talked about fitting one, but no one has posted an actual photo or description of the install. This might provide a template for a Touareg version in aluminum, or the basis for a steel one that requires tweaking to fit.

One Club T'reg member--Mountain Lord--has produced a few units of his own design. But I haven't found any photos or other details about this version.

Here's the set from the Touareg Expedition Edition (see link below). Last I heard, it was nearly 5k euros for the full kit. But I don't think anyone has actually seen it on a vehicle this side of the pond.
http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f6...ion-20995.html

Finally, there's the ORC set desiged for the Touareg. It looks straightforward enough, but may not be cost-effective shipped from Germany.

Not sure this helps much, but that's what I've come up with.

[GruvenParts.com]

OK thanks, let me look into this a bit.

If there is a way to make a cardboard template of what you want, it would be easy for us to cut 1 out and you can test fit it to decide if you like it.

Billet Audi and VW Washer Fluid Cap

Ditch the ugly blue washer fluid cap (or half tennis ball if you’re really ghetto) with one of these slick billet aluminum 6061-T651 versions.

Ours are CNC machined for a perfect fit and can be ordered in a variety of colors and finishes – including anodized or highly polished. Simply remove the old cap and press fit this one right into the washer tank.

This product replaces OEM P/N 1K0-955-455 (1K0955455), 1H0-955-455 (1H0955455), and fits nearly every VW and Audi in existence. So, there’s no excuse to rock the half tennis ball anymore!

any word on the progress of a skid plate? I think a fair amount of Touareg owners would be interested in one.

[schubie]

X2!

[GruvenParts.com]

To make that skidplate, I need a template. Somebody fab it up out of cardboard or thin plastic and send me it, I will build 1.

Whoever helps gets 1 FREE. Email me ...

[YourGonnaNeedABiggerBoat]

nice

Waitin on a template, somebody contact me via email who is interested ...

Guys - who can provide a template to us?

Also, what is the price point and features you guys want to see on this plate? We can easily make this, we just need some input.

Up for Touareg skid plates

[schubie]

I think the problem is the size (and complexity) of required underbody protection. As a result, it's probably not something that's easily represented with cardboard or plastic sheet.

Here are some threads from Club Touareg that discuss the requirements and/or show custom versions.
http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f6...ion-44101.html

Realistically, you're probably going to need to track down a T'reg owner and put their rig on a lift for detailed measurements. If I was closer to you guys, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Hope this helps--Chris

Thanks Chris.

Any Touareg owners near Atlanta that can help us?

[voodoo_child]

Thanks Chris.

Any Touareg owners near Atlanta that can help us?

Hello, normally I post on Club Touareg, but I was alerted to this thread and came here to say that I will be in Atlanta at some point this spring, and I would be glad to lend my Touareg for a few days to help develop a skidplate.

I think there is a huge demand for some professionally made underbody protection for the Touareg. The only options seems to be the VW plastic "skidplates" that do nothing and are for looks, and the massive, 5,000 euro full expedition setup (seen below, which is awesome but more than most people are willing to spend, if they can even get it here).



There are one or two individuals fabbing some skids, but I know that myself and many others would prefer something a little more professionally made, that is beyond the capabilities of most people. So anyway, if you can't find someone willing to help before this spring, I will provide more details when it gets a little closer to the time for my trip. BTW I have an '04 V8 with air suspension, not sure if it makes a difference though.

-Randy

[GruvenParts.com]

Thanks Randy. If you know of someone currently making the skidplate, have them call or email me directly. Perhaps we can work with them to build a more "professional" version since we have access to all the CNC bending and laser cutting equipment needed.

If not, then yes we would certainly love to measure your car and develop our own plate. I am looking for owners to also email me suggestions for features they want to see incorporated into the design. Steel, aluminum, composite, size/coverage, access, mounting style, ect... And of course, target price point we need to stay close to.

If there is interest, we will make these . Please email me directly and post on this thread.

[morecarl]

When mine finally shows up, I'd be willing to help out. I personally like the appearance of the Cayenne skid plates. Not sure if they are functional or just for looks though.

Just to make all the MK4 VR6 owners aware …

www.GruvenParts.com will soon be releasing a billet aluminum version of the white plastic part which connects the intake manifold change over rod to the drive unit actuator shown in this pic (red arrow) :



And detailed in this DIY Article section on www.GruvenParts.com

On 12V VR6 engines (99-06 Golf, Jetta VR6), the white part is sold as part of the Drive Unit p/n 071-133-759C (071133759C) or 071-133-759D (071133759D) and on the 24V engines (R32, 02-08 Golf, Jetta, Eos, Touareg) it is sold as part of Drive Unit p/n 022-133-759 (022133759) or 022-133-759A (022133759A).

This white plastic part continually breaks and is not readily available from VW without buying the whole plastic Drive Unit at a cost of $130-$160.

Needless to say, we’ll put an end to that foolishness in typical GruvenParts.com fashion by milling this part from a solid chunk of 6061-T651.

You can follow the development thread here (and feel free to chime in, too!) –

Bump for billet goodness

www.GruvenParts.com

[GruvenParts.com]

GruvenParts.com has released this billet intake drive unit arm for ALL VW/Audi VR6 engines with variable intake manifolds!


Billet Intake Manifold Drive Unit Linkage!

This part replaces the white plastic part that attaches to the actuator arm. The OEM part is made from injection molded nylon and becomes very brittle in the engine heat. Of course VW/Audi will not sell you *JUST* this part, you would have to buy a whole new drive unit for big bucks and get a bunch of stuff you don’t need.

GruvenParts.com builds these the way VW should have: from a solid chunk of 6061-T651 aircraft grade aluminum on a 4 axis HAAS mill-lathe. Utilizing some tricks within the SolidWorks/MasterCam CNC software, we have tweaked the process to allow the billet part to be machined specially to accept the locking feature on the end of the intake rod. Just push fit this part onto the end of the intake rod similar to OEM plastic part fitment. There are no set screws to come loose and the fit is perfect.

This part makes a great upgrade when installing our upgraded MKIV VR6 Intake Manifold Bushings

Our part will also cost you about 1/3 what VW/Audi charge for their plastic drive unit (and the OEM plastic part is NOT part of their repair kit). This one is a no brainer!

You guys asked us for it and we listened. Another great billet replacement part to rid your VW/Audi of the weak plastic parts!

Don’t forget to check out the DIY listed on our website.
