Agreed I spotted that. My arms are clearly marked TDiAlthough the earlier conclusions seemed to be that there was no difference in the suitability of the arms for petrol or diesel the manual does show some differences in the bush dimensions for the different models which is interesting;

Can only think this must be something to do with the difference in engine weight?
Simon.
As Phil noted in post #101, carparts4less has the Lemforder/TRW JTC1140 / 615440706 and JTC1141 / 615440716 left right pair for £195 delivered at the moment (back order though mine arrived 3 days after order).
As for the carparts4less site, how do you find out the manufacturers part number for the item you're buying?
You always see this and it always makes me happy, once the numbers been ground off you know you bought exactly what Audi would have sold you for a fraction of the price! Seen it on engine mounts I recently bought for my cabrio and on the brake calipers I bought for my A2 that were refurbed...If anyone is interested, these photos show one of the arms I removed from my 2001 TDi last weekend alongside one of the new Lemforder replacements. As you can see, the originals are Lemforder and look identical to the replacement. It seems a bit petty to make the OEM supplier grind the Audi references off, but there you have it.
As far as I can tell from looking through the full documentation that came with the car, the removed ones are the originals, so they've not done badly.

Crooks healthcare.Not unique to cars. Until a few years ago Nurofen was made by Boots (the original inventor). It was made in the same unit on the same machine using the same ingredients as the Boots ‘own brand’. Price was quite different though.
Also hilarious when customers complained the Boots one ‘didn’t work’ only the Nurofen one did! Smile and nod.
