I thought that was about twice the length of the old one? But I only got that standard size..

With the engine of the bellows should be out. When you get to the appropriate revs the vacume sucks the bellows in.

In the photo you are at the high revs setting.

This is a picture of what it should look like, that James kindly text me



So before I set about ordering the new one from Audi £160 I e-mailed the guy I ordered the wrong arm from, Richard. Didn't think he would respond/care but he e-mailed me back in a few hours and is sending me out a pair of S6 arms out free. I will update when they come but I think this company should be put on a sticky somewhere and also everyone should check to see what there's look like. Its not hard you just have to take the engine cover off and you will see it straight away.
