    RS2 brake cooling ducts.

    Has anyone got a picture of how the RS2 brake cooling ducts (8A0 615 335 and 8A0 615 336) attach to the cast wishbone. The FA is no help at all. I've searched the gallery on here and elsewhere with no luck.

    I'm asking this before having got under there to do the job, as "fore warned is fore armed" as they say.

    TIA,
    Jas..

    It connects via a clip (usually breaks off) onto the wishbone and one of the lower nuts for the ball joint.
    I'll get my camera and try to get an image

        IME attached to one of ball joint nuts and cable tied. I think I have the drivers side one somewhere

          Hope this can help

          As you can see,
          the cooling ducts are conceived for the "small" wishbones of S2/RS2.
          Recommendation: It´s safer to use a cable strap to fix the cooling duct at the wishbone.

            Thanks Alex, shouldn't be a problem now with that picture as a reference

            I have the special M10 nut used to fix to the balljoint studs, and also the Audi specified cable tie too. The cable tie even has an Audi part number on it
