    All that is for power steering, not for the brakes. Brakes can still use a vacuum servo and you can still have normal power steering. What's the problem with that?

      I did away with the brake 'bomb' when I put the AAN engine into my B4 80q, best thing I ever did.

      From this



      to this:

        perfect!!!

        which parts did you use? do you remember?

        was the strut brace able to be refitted without repositioning?

          No rush, I will also check the orice for a new one, or is this in good shape?

              that is very nice

              did you use an individual hose from the inlet manifold, or did you use a T joint?

                Have you got a shot top down so we can see if ABY inlet will fit

                          i can also see some part number on the servo, and a word saying 'Lucas' but i think i have the correct part from Marc regarding that.

                            This is looking uber viable now much cheaper than a new bomb if you play your cards right

                              definitely and i wish i had done this ages ago, not 700+125+labour work+++++ for my brake servo to work...

                              im getting the last parts in for testing this week, and regardless of whether the brakes work, i am still getting the vaccum servo, the one way valve and any other bits necessary for a conversion...(just in case)

                                Any old servo will do it. B3 or B4
                                That's what I love about Audi's from this era, so many parts are interchangeable, or with a little bit of messing around join parts together from different models
