Default Sluggish Manifold Flaps Guide

In the D2 repair sticky, there is a link to a writeup on the quattroworld forum about sluggish or stuck manifold flaps. This is the link below:

40V Intake manifold fix for stuck or sluggish flap pivots (no broken parts)

Unfortunately, that site is no longer available, and I was wondering if anyone ever saved the details, including the photos. I've used the Internet Archive and can get the text, but none of the photos are there.

EDIT: I just did some more searching, and it appears the site is still available. It is just this one specific post that has been deleted. Still on the hunt for photos.
