RS2 intake vacuum fitting part number

[s2avant]

It's ordered. Back order so will be a few days till I get it. I'll let you know when it is here.

The one at the front is an barbed vacuum fitting which threads (M8) into the inlet. The brass ones are press fit.

I've literally spent hours upon hours searching the internet for something to use, both Audi and non-Audi suppliers. Finding a metric fitting in the US is virtually impossible. Maybe someone knows of a supplier in the UK for something like this?

Hey Ben,
Would you mind ordering 046 145 786 C? It's the earlier suggestion from Paul, whose post just disappeared for some reason? It is the fitting for a line off the intercooler on a TDI A6. I would love to know what this looks like.

Hi Tom,

I've got the same problem on my RS manifold.
If you can't get the original part then you would be best to do as Jamo suggested.
A quick search finds sites like these. It's easy enough to tap out the hole too.


Matt.

From memory the brass lines at the back are the same as the one at the front of the manifold?

[saltinot]

I'm going to have to agree with Martyn on this one. Both are listed for the ABY and RS2 manifold in ETKA but aren't not shown on the illustration. There is very good chance these are what you are looking for.

They are on back order over here so more than likely will be in the US too. As you already tried the 8mm one I ordered the 5mm in to examine. I'll post back when I have it (probably 7-10 days). If they come in correctly for what you need then I will send it on to you.

Thanks Ben, but I've already ordered both of those and neither did the trick. Those are brass tubes that press into the inlet for the ISV and the vacuum lines on the back. Both are available for sale now.

Did you try 034 133 382 AG?

[s2avant]

That 034 133 347 number doesn't seem to exist...?? I **think** the part is either 034 133 382T (8mm) or 034 133 382AG (5mm).

Wow you are the new OEM king

I hope that is a good thing!

Hopefully one will turn up soon. I've been looking for a while now...... Note the start date on this thread.

Anybody? Come on now.

[saltinot]

Sure it would be. I'm trying to stick to the factory route here though.

It's a needle in a haystack, I know, but I'm patient.

[Jamo]

Wouldn't it be easier to the tap the manifold and use an NTP fitting?

[saltinot]

034 133 578 C turned out to be an expensive silicone hose. At this point I'm running out of factory options.

I know it is a long shot, but does anyone have one that they can sell me? please

[saltinot]

However - I have located two possible alternatives from the Audi parts bin

046 145 786 C - used as pressure point on I5 TDI engine (A6Q-96-1-29 item 20) and appears that it is threaded into the intercooler for connection of a hose.

034 145 779 D - might be too big as this is the 8mm nipple take-off point on our turbo housings where the hose to WGFV attaches

Neither are expensive so takes your pick unless some other alternative presents itself.

Thanks for the help Paul! This has been buggin me for a while.

Do we know if the 046 145 786 C is m8 thread?

The original part on the RS2 inlet manifold is M8 so maybe the 034 145 779 D might work. The WGFV hose is a larger diameter hose I think. I'll have a look tonight.

I've had my eye on part# 034 133 578 C, which I will order and then see.

I've already tried 034 133 382 T, which turned out to be the connection on the inlet for the ISV.

Only a 24mm cover is listed. It's N 011 914 2

Yep, the only thing listed is the freeze plug N 011 914 2. It bizzare that this part isn't listed anywhere. I spoke with independent my parts guy in Germany yesterday and he didn't have any luck with it either.

Reroute the bypass hose to the back of the IM and use a t-piece there.

I have done a reroute on my S6, but would rather not on the RS2. I want to keep everything original if possible. Thanks for the suggestion though.
