Billet VW/Audi VR6 Intake Manifold Linkages

GruvenParts.com is proud to release these billet intake drive unit links for ALL VW/Audi VR6 engines with the variable intake manifolds!

This part replaces the plastic drive unit linkage which extends from the actuator up to the intake rod shown with the YELLOW arrow in the attached picture. The OEM part is made from plastic and becomes very brittle in the engine heat. Of course VW/Audi will not sell you *JUST* this part, you would have to buy a whole new drive unit for big bucks and get a bunch of stuff you don’t need. Even if you did buy the expensive OEM part, it would be PLASTIC and would quickly break again.

GruvenParts.com builds these the way VW should have: from a solid chunk of 6061-T651 aircraft grade aluminum on a 4 axis CNC. Ours come with a Delrin insert installed in the specially machined socket to precisely mate with the ball on the intake rod. This provides excellent lubrication and unmatched strength.

To install this part, unbolt the actuator from the engine and gently pry apart the 2 mating actuator halves (they are snap fit together). Once apart, simply remove the plastic OEM linkage arm and replace with our billet aluminum version. Snap the 2 halves back together and reinstall on the engine.

This billet VR6 drive linkage makes a great upgrade when installing these parts :
