    Audi Special Tools and Equipment Program

    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.

    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.

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