That's what I though it was.

Maybe even use it to go work and back, god forbid?

Cars always been a daily driver, always will be.
Shame to shut them away. Just makes our job harder trying to keep them in good condition.

Forgot to add a something. The Bosch Power Output Stages (Audi part number - 4A0 905 351A)[Bosch part number - 0227100289] are now "obsolete - aka - NLA" from Bosch themselves. They have non in stock in the UK.
Direct from Audi, or through vagparts and maybe quattro corner, are the only place you are going to get them now.
Once Audi's stock has gone, that's it................... but not quite;

The Beru version fitted to the ABC and AAH (2.6 - 2.8 12v V6's) also works in place of the Bosch version. As tested by my bro for the last 2 years.
It's Audi part number is 4A0 905 351 and it's Beru part number is 0040.401.027 ZM 027.
Beru are also the manufacturers of the OEM coilpacks.
It's price is significantly cheaper than the Bosch version.
Whether it would stand up to a high ouput engine, don't know and not something myself or my bro will be finding out.
It has however stood up to being run mercilessly on my bro's chipped ABY (anyone who knows him will understand what I mean).

This isn't a new find, as it's listed on some USA sites, I'm only stating it because of the fact Bosch now no longer make them or have any in the UK.

I have two spare Bosch versions "just in case"

I'm also using ABC POS'es. The main issue there can be switching time. But only the tuning guru's can tell if it can become a problem or not. Fairy tales tell, that using beru/hitachi units gives you less power, but dyno tells otherwise!

Thats an interesting bit of news then. I have a really bad feeling that some of these NLA parts are going to hurt us badly sometime in the future... As something like that will not be easily to 2nd source.

Not sure how many Audi have themselves, maybe one for Ben to look into.

One last thing, a big thanks to Spink for the ECU that I loaned from him with a view to buy.
Thanks again mate
