can you post a foto for the Upgraded pressure group?
Actualy i did not get a picture of it.
If you click here:

And choose "clutches" the pictere there looks like the one i got.
But i didn't think it looked exciting enough to justify a picture.
But if you really want it i could drive to the garage where the Q4 is, and make one.

I already found one thing wierd. My intercooler shroud is mounted 180degrees rotated.... (Probably for some time already....
It is amazing it got any air fed into it.
At least i will do a new dyno run when everything is ready, suspect it to work a bit better when it gets some air.
Found this myself why looking around under the car.
Also the D2 suspension at the back looks amazingly corroded already, probably because of the salt and some snow we had here.
no dont go to the garage i just want to see if we have the same plate
and as i see is the same
have a happy end with all this
thank you
Okay, the old clutch has its center spinning freely. The inside parts of the clutch have been broken off. (4 pins wich hook in when it is engaged. Totaly broken off.)
Tomorow will take the new-clutch and flywheel away to a company to flaten and balance the lot.
First big surprise:
Two seals in the engine are all dried out and leaking a bit. (My engine had been oily on the bottom for some time.)
(The two on the bottom, 1 at the "carter" the other is above that running diagonaly across the engine.)
So will need to have those replaced also together with the plugs at the balanceshafts.
Steve as this is getting to Off-topic please let me know. Could be made in a separate thread.

The old clutch:
Here are the parts wich came from the center of the clucth and their failing was the reason the clutch wouldn't operate anymore:

Too much power for the clutch?

Probably. It should be rated at 400Nm i was told, but as i "only" have 380Nm i would guess it was a bit less than that.
Still it lasted more than 50.000 km.
The walkers one should be good for 470Nm so i hope it stays in one piece longer.
And when the intercooler shroud is placed correct i am very curious how much torque is available.
Anything found now will be adressed. Radiator (wich is close to starting to leak.), the drive shaft to the back balanced, new rubbers placed on the drive shaft.
New brushes for the actuator.
It really takes to long to have me driving again.
