was the manifold stuck and did you free it up ? the billet arm looks awesome way better than the plastic 1 in your pic!

was this the part number for your arms - Replaces OEM P/N 077198327A (077-198-327A)

mine were slightly different i think but they still worked

NYCA8L

no it wasn't stuck just a broken arm im not sure of the part # but i know when ordering off Gruven its the smaller arm not the bigger one. Paul was awesome and i got it quick. as soon as i installed it i took it for a ride and did feel the difference that everyone was saying car feels way better.

Audi/VW 4.2V8 Intake Linkage Arms !


Audi/VW 4.2 V8 Intake Manifold Pivot Levers !

GruvenParts.com 4.2L V8 Intake Manifold Linkage Arms and Pivot Levers : Warranted for Life !

Got a 4.2L V8 Audi or VW ? Then you had better check your intake manifold actuator arms Audi/VW P/N 077-198-327A (077198327A) and the corresponding Manifold Pivot Levers ! The OEM plastic versions quickly break, leaving your intake manifold rod stuck which causes poor idle, drivability, loss of power, and poor fuel mileage. This is a very common problem on the Audi/VW 4.2L V8, an otherwise great engine. The dealer will only sell you a repair kit for the linkage arms at nearly $400, and each repair kit only comes with 1 of each length linkage arm. If your vehicle has 2 broken linkage arms, you would need to buy 2 dealer repair kits (cost nearly $800)! If you need a pivot lever, you are really out of luck, as the dealer will only sell you an entire intake manifold at a cost of several thousand dollars !

Our Billet intake manifold arms and pivot levers are made from aerospace grade 6061-T651 aluminum with the linkages containing specially machined black Delrin inserts to provide a perfect fit to the actuator *****. These parts are warranted for life!

Dont go to the VW/Audi dealer and pay big bucks for the new actuator kit or entire new manifold when all you need are these parts (the actuators themselves rarely fail). And DONT pay that kind of money for another set of plastic arms and levers that will break again in quick order.

Go with GruvenParts.com and NEVER WORRY ABOUT THIS AGAIN !
