Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Mike,
Here is 2 pic of how I have the cams lobes aligned at tdc. This is using the old chain. It appears to me that I may have one roller to many because the cam mark on the intake side does not line up with the mark on the cam cap but it does on the exhaust side at tdc. The third picture is a copy of what I think lobes should look like at TDC?? If I shorten by one roller I think I would be ok?

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
According to the parts catalog:
8V0419091S is "multifunct. sports strng wheel. multifunct. sports strng wheel; (leather perforated); for vehicles with tiptronic; chassis code PR-2PK"
8K0880201AE (without the 6PS2) is "airbag unit for steering wheel. airbag unit for steering wheel; ** only order for **; ** immediate installation **; chassis code PR-1XW,1XX,; 2PF,2PK"
The harness that matches the seller's airbag is 8U0971589J. Can you ask the seller if that harness is included? If they are selling the wheel and airbag as fitted...it should be included.
The MMI ribbon for the seller's steering wheel is 8U0971589A...ask the seller if that is included?
The MMI ribbon from your RS4 wheel is 4F0971589B. It visually looks the same as 8U0971589A but that does not mean it is 100% compatible.
If the harness is included, then its just a matter finding out the pin outs and modding them if necessary.

You were dead on. Harness fit and MMI ribbon plugged in perfectly.
Only problem is, I don't know how to repin the harness to get the MMI working. The wheel fits, works, feels and looks great. Well worth the upgrade.

There should be 16 rollers on to on...shortening will not help and most likely throw a code for cam position.
Here is a picture of how they should be:

Also, the lobes seem to be off in all the pictures. Attached is a picture of a 1.8 we are working on...notice how the lobes are angled towards each other?
Regarding the rollers on your motor, if you take the CCT off, it might pull them together so the marks line up at TDC.

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Good to hear! Unfortunately, its a little hard to say exactly how the pins would have to been modified without having both the harnesses in front of me. Also, I cannot even pull up any wiring diagrams either for those harnesses

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hello MF
It appears the picture you posted is the passenger side. I can't position the lobes on the drivers side to face each other and have the marks on the cams line up with the marks on the cap.
Is bank 1 the driver side on the diagram? The cam on my exhaust side does line up as shown but the intake cam mark lines up with the valley instead of the tooth. So if I move the intake cam one tooth, the marks will line up on both cams. The picture below is of a 2.7 l driver side.

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Any suggestions on how to figure it out - more importantly, any danger in playing around with the pins... (i.e. airbag).
Thanks again. A real contribution to this community.

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
As long as the airbag harness is disconnected and you are working in a static-free environment (discharge yourself); you should be okay against accidental airbag deployment. Modding the MMI harness depends on the pin outs...would you be able to check what the layout is? It should be marked on the connector
