Speaking of which, I really need to get some new wiper blades for the Audi. Which ones do you guys get? I think I might go for the new Bosch ones.
I bought Rain X this past summer, they were alright. I have the Aero Wiper Blade kit coming soon, can't wait to see how they perform. They look a lot better than stock too.

AEB, only the 2000 has the ATW. But the truth is both are exactly the same being 058 blocks. The AEB came with a AEB(big port) head and the ATW came with a ATW(small port) head.

You can find the AEB stamped on the passenger side of the block right near cylinder #2.

Anyone else NEVER letting go of their B5? I just washed and waxed me, and spent time on the little details, and god I love this car.

I dont ever expect to sell mine, will most likely keep it around for my son(3 years old now) to have when he gets old enough to drive. But then who would buy my car anyway seeing the power it has and a full cage in it.

Next month it will be 10 years having mine. By far the only car I have owned that long. All the rest were 3-5 years.

A nice GT28r or GT28rs would be nice on that setup. I know someone that has a Tip/quattro that is 2.0 liter with a GT35r. lol

Well anyone that would buy my car would need some deep pockets replacing transmissions weekly.

Wouldn't that destroy my trans? I doubt the auto can hold up to that kind of abuse..

Plenty people that have ran the Elim kit on their Tip/quattro, it would be even easier on a FWD car since there is less resistance because it's only spinning 2 tires.

Tq hit(spike) is what kills a tq transmission and the Elim kit has a softer tq hit then a K04.
