Re: Brands for front control arms

Can’t go wrong with febi and would recommend as first choice but Delphi is a good alternative . Try RT group or carpartsinmotion cross reference part numbers and you will save a fortune without compromise in quality good luck mark

Re: No Haynes Manual for the B6 AXZ?

Just an update if you require timing chain fitting tools / flywheel lock DSG or haldex fluid pumps just drop me a message and your welcome to borrow anything I have as I know that building up the tools to maintain these things is a pain and expensive mission regards Mark
