Glad you got it built back up. How odd. Could the exhaust have moved? 

Engine mounts ok? 

I had too lower the box down more but the cats are on now

Busy day gearbox back up and sub frame, cats all bolted down and down pipes on, lead and plug on the starter motor, earth leads bolted on water pipes on, oil cooler on and alternator on, for some reason audi made the alternator + lead a black cable not red you can definitely mistake it for one of the earth leads as there 3

What a bargain! 

Be careful regarding air bag wiring though as connectors can vary. 

As such, if conne tors are different the easiest option is to change the airbags abs wiring from your current seats to the new ones believe it or not.

Yea it's fine to sell on here. I'd recommend doing a separate post under the for sale section. 

Guessing you got your new seats installed ok?
