1606.0. "AUDI 100 parts and maintenance." by RDGENG::SPALDING () Tue Nov 19 1991 16:12

	My aging Audi 100 now needs a new Pedal Shaft for clutch linkage
	but of course nothing yet found in the UK for Part # 448721315.

	I know that German attitude to quality is to put 85% of effort into
	fault prevention at design stage, whereas UK's is to have 15% thought
	on prevention and 85% on cure, but it sure is annoying to have to wait.

	Can anyone out there help? The clutch specialists have apparently
	phoned about 10 centres from Colindale's onwards and outwards without
	sucess. As I'm none too keen on 10 days plus sans auto, suggestions
	are most welcome.

    Have you tried the scrap yards? Some of them will remove the pedal
    shaft for you......for a lot less than the dealer will charge you!
