Oiling plates

1
Hello all,long time....
Can any one tell me about the oiling plates fitted to the RSA 5cyl Audi transaxles.
As I understand they are some sort of baffle designed to keep oil on the pinion bearing??? Is this correct?

Does any one have any pictures of them,as I am wondering if I could make a set.

Hartmate,as I remember you were contemplating fitting these or some type of cooling,what did you end up doing??

Thankyou
BenC

Ben i had a set, but my gear ox monkey at the time did not know where or how to fix them and when picking up the box he couldn't find them anymore . They are gone. They were  very well fabricated, SouthAfrican manufacture. If they work, no one can tell at least they can't do any harm...

Got the box out?

I believe they improve oiling to the main shaft and C&P. You have to drill and tap the holes (not hard). Greg E

Ben i had a set, but my gear ox monkey at the time did not know where or how to fix them and when picking up the box he couldn't find them anymore . They are gone. They were  very well fabricated, SouthAfrican manufacture. If they work, no one can tell at least they can't do any harm...

Got the box out?

Hart,

Not around Christmas???

Oh no!

What are we going to do with our new year off-road adventure.

Maybe we can head north along one of Ben's trails towards Hat Head?

Skot,  yep, won't be around for Christmas this year . Have to go to NZ for one last time (have crossed the ditch 36 times in the last 8 yrs) . Time has come to concentrate on wider family and Syncros .
Suggest you take the Ben Trail and visit him at Hat Head , the trail is superb, well worth traveling 
Will be in touch before we leave
