Audi/VW 4.2V8 Intake Linkage Arms !


Audi/VW 4.2 V8 Intake Manifold Pivot Levers !

GruvenParts.com 4.2L V8 Intake Manifold Linkage Arms and Pivot Levers : Warranted for Life !

Got a 4.2L V8 Audi or VW ? Then you had better check your intake manifold actuator arms Audi/VW P/N 077-198-327A (077198327A) and the corresponding Manifold Pivot Levers ! The OEM plastic versions quickly break, leaving your intake manifold rod stuck which causes poor idle, drivability, loss of power, and poor fuel mileage. This is a very common problem on the Audi/VW 4.2L V8, an otherwise great engine. The dealer will only sell you a repair kit for the linkage arms at nearly $400, and each repair kit only comes with 1 of each length linkage arm. If your vehicle has 2 broken linkage arms, you would need to buy 2 dealer repair kits (cost nearly $800)! If you need a pivot lever, you are really out of luck, as the dealer will only sell you an entire intake manifold at a cost of several thousand dollars !

Our Billet intake manifold arms and pivot levers are made from aerospace grade 6061-T651 aluminum with the linkages containing specially machined black Delrin inserts to provide a perfect fit to the actuator *****. These parts are warranted for life!

Dont go to the VW/Audi dealer and pay big bucks for the new actuator kit or entire new manifold when all you need are these parts (the actuators themselves rarely fail). And DONT pay that kind of money for another set of plastic arms and levers that will break again in quick order.

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

The billet linkage arms fit the following vehicles:

2004-2007 VW Phaeton V8
2003+ VW Touareg V8
2002-2004 Audi A6/Avant
1998-2004 Audi A6/S6 Quattro
2000+ Audi A8/S8 Quattro

Replaces OEM P/N 077198327A (077-198-327A)

The billet pivot levers fit the following vehicles :

VW Touareg
VW Phaeton
Audi A6, S6
Audi A8, S8, A8L
(and many other models - take a look at your engine and see if it is the same as this part)

These fit the following intake manifolds (and likely many others) :
077-133-185BK (077133185BK)
077-133-185BD (077133185BD)

I fail to understand the rationale for reposting the same lengthy posts ad nauseam. Couldn't you delete the first 20 or so posts, and then post each just once? As it stands, few readers probably choose to view the thread more than once because it's just the same - only longer - each time.

Nice products, however.

Agreed. We do need to clean up the repeats, I will begin to work on that.

I also hate to continually make repetitive posts in the forums like ECS. However, people tend to buy what is in front of them, so we must continually push these threads up the pile.

I do hear you, I will work on cleaning this stuff up if we can delete duplicates

Hey, thanks!
May I suggest moving your thread(s) up with one-day sales (that way you could post each day). And it's not a Sale unless it's 20% or more discount, IMHO.

You could also keep us potential customers in the loop of your manufacturing methods; I was in awe of this ruby-tipped computer measuring device one of my customers bought. They made moulds and dies for Nissan, Saturn, Bridgestone, and others in TN. Had a table of solid granite probably 10 X 15 feet and a robotic arm which automatically measured the part to the half-thousandth by touching it (for hours, sometimes all night) with its little robotic arm tipped with a spherical ruby. They had to build a dedicated climate controlled room for the monstrosity!
At your place, Heck, just cutting threads on those oil filter caps is probably pretty interesting.

Maybe start a suggestion contest: I'll go first...You could make some black-oxide coated aluminum driver's door switches for trunk/fuel door, and for the MMI to replace the worn ones that plague so many of our cars.

Thank you for listening,
Tom

Hey Tom,

Thanks for your response.

I would love to get more info on this opportunity. Can you email some pics of what you are looking for ? We can certainly take a look.

Billet VW/Audi 4.2L V8 Oil Filter Housings !

Special Pricing in Effect ! Precision Machined Aluminum Oil Filter Housings For VW And Audi 4.2L V8 Engines !

GruvenParts.com now has these billet aluminum oil filter housing covers for VW and Audi 4.2L V8 to replace OEM part number 077-115-433B (077115433B). The OEM plastic oil filter housing cover is not very durable and often strips out making it impossible to remove the oil filter. The engine flange which this cover screws into costs over $1,000 and is easily broken while trying to remove a stripped filter housing cover. We have put an end to this nonsense !

The GruvenParts billet aluminum oil filter housing cover is made from a massive chunk of Aircraft Grade 6061-T6511 Aluminum. The section is delicately placed onto one of our special CNC machining centers and precision cut to EXACTLY match the OEM plastic housing. The metal gods (well, in this case, one of our highly talented CNC programmers) has programmed elaborate steps for the very time consuming and expensive operation of profiling the special buttress threads into the housing using the exact DIN spec thread cutting tool required for a perfect seal. It simply doesn’t get better than this!

We also provide USEABLE 24mm hex flats so you can easily remove the housing with a standard 24mm socket. This could possibly make changing your oil fun again!

Fits the following vehicles :
VW Phaeton w/4.2L V8 (all years)
Audi A4/S4/Quattro/Cabrio (2002-2007) w/4.2L V8 BHF engine
Audi A6 / AllRoad (2001-2007) w/4.2L V8 BNK and BAS engines
Audi A8 (2003-2006) w/4.2L V8 BFM and BGK engines

May fit other vehicles as well, please check to see if your vehicle uses OEM part number 077-115-433B (077115433B) oil filter housing cover.

This housing uses the standard OEM filter, P/N 079-198-405A (079198405A). You can order the billet housing with or without the filter.

A4/S4, A6/S4, Passat, Boxster Stainless Slave Cylinder Bleeder Screws

GruvenParts.com Introduces Stainless Bleeder Screws for Audi A4/S4, A6/S6, VW Passat and Porsche Boxster!

Our 303 Aircraft Grade Stainless Steel Bleeder Screw replaces the plastic bleeder screw which Audi and VW provide on their clutch slave cylinder P/N 8E0-721-257F (8E0721257F), 8E0-721-257M (8E0721257M), 8E0-721-257A (8E0721257A), and 8E0-721-257B (8E0721257B).

How many times have you gone to bleed the brakes on your Audi, Passat or Boxster only to round off the hex on the cheap plastic bleeder screw on your clutch slave cylinder? The problem is corrosive brake fluid actually melts the plastic bleeder screw and bonds it into the slave cylinder housing making it impossible to open. This problem makes it impossible to bleed your brakes properly and causes soft brake and clutch pedals. The only remedy until now has been to replace the entire slave cylinder unit, which is expensive, time consuming, and NOT FUN (to say the least!).

GruvenParts.com has addressed this problem with our new 303 Aircraft Grade Stainless Steel Bleeder Screws. We machine these in house on state of the art HAAS CNC lathes and mills with custom screw machining capability to exactly match the OEM threads for a perfect fit. These come complete with preinstalled Viton O-rings for maximum life. The hex will never round off or become stuck in the slave cylinder body and you likely will never need to replace a slave cylinder again.

This 303 Aircraft Grade Stainless Steel Bleeder Screw replaces the plastic bleeder screw found in clutch slave cylinders P/N P/N 8E0-721-257F (8E0721257F), 8E0-721-257M (8E0721257M), 8E0-721-257A (8E0721257A), and 8E0-721-257B (8E0721257B).

This product fits the following vehicles :

Audi A4/S4 1996 thru 2006 1.8T, 2.8L, 3.0L. 4.2L including Quattro
Audi A6/S6 1995 thru 2005 2.7L, 2.7T, 2.8L, including Quattro and Allroad
Volkswagen Passat 2000 thru 2005 1.8T, 2.8L including 4 Motion
Porsche Boxster 1997 thru 2004"
