Audi Special Tools and Equipment Program

[R84ME]

I found this Audi "Factory Authorized Dealer Site" site for Audi-specific tools & other stuff. I know there are cheaper alternatives elsewhere but sometimes, manufacturer-specific tools are needed. I'll add it to the resource page on www.audir8registry.com.

Good find!

Particularly liked 'Wallnut shells (50 lb)' JUST what I have always wanted ;-) Intrigued...

For noisy gearboxes ?

Naw, to put in all 4 of DD's sills :-)

Crushed walnut shells are used as media in sand blasters for stripping paint, etc. without as much damage to the underlying part as sand, glass beads, etc. Ground plastic (such as lexan) may also be used as a blasting media.

Thats nuts. LOL When I broke an arm, a media of corn husk chips was blasted all over my wounds to aid healing/scarring. Felt nice, those warm chips. \"/

Walnut shells are in short supply owing to the propensity of Audi TFSI engines to coke up after 30-40K miles.

Yes, that site is where you can buy the special tool needed to properly change the oil.

MTs' oil changing post was the best. \"/ (alien smiley)
