Chaps,

A bit of an odd one here.

I am looking for a part from an old Audi - it's an '89 Audi 90 Quattro. The part number is 431 711 221. It's a bushing from the gearlinkage.

The current one is worn out, and Audi can't supply me with a new one as it's such an old car.

Any idea of a good way of getting my hands on one?


Oli.

Audi dont give a monkies about their heritage cars nowadays, even parts from the original UR (that argueably made Audi what they are today) are almost obsolete and they wont release pattern drawings etc.

They're all to quick to jump on the "good ol rally days" when it suits them but in reality couldnt give a stuff..soapbox


Rant over, now time for tea..
