hehehe been there done that...
Well what I did is remove the upper part of the Audi 5K TB assembly, too
that set of parts from the Vw one, took the longer shaft of the flap from
the vw and transplanted it unto the audi 5K, basically your mis matching
parts to make it work :) but basically : bottom springs from audi 5K remain,
the shaft and top assembly of the TB from the vw that together.. will
work.its a pain in the arse I know , I have an 8v so the accelerator cable
adaptor are different too! (more matching to be done if you have an 8v too:)

Ok, I figured an Audi 5k TB swap would be easy. With my luck, not so.
All was ready, I had the audi 5k TB, the TB on my '83 8v, and a spare '84 8v
TB which I planned to swap the linkage from, that way it would just be a
drop in(I had also already ported out the manifold to accept the 5k TB a few
months ago, while I was polishing it). Anyway, is there more than one kind
of 5k TB!? This one WAS off an audi 5000, not sure of the year. However
the linkages will NOT swap. The long thing that holds the throttle
plate(the smaller one), ya know the thing that pretty much the whole linkage
attaches to, is too short on top to accept the earlier linkage. So I
figured I'd dive deep and remove the whole thing, and put in the 8v(longer)
one. That was pretty straightforward. Now that's done, but it seems that
it's still slightly too short, and also on my 8v TBs there is a dowel that
sticks out of the top of the TB(manifold side), that a spring holds on to.
There is no such thing on the Audi TB!! What the heck!! All the tech notes
on doing the Audi 5k conversion pretty much say nothing more than "swap the
linkages". What is going on? Sorry for the venting, but please help-
Rob
