I have an 02’ B6 A4 1.8t I’m gonna start rebuilding early 2024. I’ve been sitting on the car for a couple of years. I can say after watching this and seeing your views on market I’ll definitely be supporting 034 for a few of the bits on my car. I’m not a customer YET, but thank you for what you do, we need more business owners like you in this country.

[@javadshadzi4824]

I appreciate the kind words and support!

[@lluokkalaable]

We didn't get where we are today in the automotive industry without competition! We'd all still be driving model A if that were the case. Competition brings better prices, better availability, and overall better products.

[@034motorsport]

Exactly!

[@brianb2454]

I went this your seal over theirs, it’s being shipped right now with a south bend stage 3 clutch super excited for it!

[@Memoloks710]

Lmk how has it been! So I cancel my iabed 🤪

[@AgroAaronFpv]

Great video, and great products! Think I saw you at Sonoma Raceway last weekend in a white Audi. That thing absolutely rips!!

[@034motorsport]

Hey! You likely saw either our customer Dodd in his 8S TTRS or Mark in his 8J RS500 TTRS! Thanks for the support!

[@KChan33333]

I don't know... the aftermarket is all about making improvements over OEM. If there are improvements that add value over an existing product in the market then it's hard to make an argument.

[@034motorsport]

Exactly, our product is an improvement over OEM and the only aftermarket option which hasn’t improved in 10 years, the market deserves innovation and more options, and as Americans we have the right to free trade and commerce. 👍🏼

[@troysicotte]

Well said gents!

[@a3rocks851]

I just purchased the 2.0 seal from 034. I’m looking forward to a lifetime of abuse on my motor. Running 400 crank horses.

[@YuEnergy00]

Hi, how do you like the seal so far? I am going to buy one but would like to hear your feedback.

[@KaMil-gw2qr]

Hank who? Let the better product win.

[@034motorsport]

We can't agree more!

[@viakion2125]

why is their a groove with no gasket on the back of my 200 dollar seal? i paid u guys good money for a seal and get nothoing . thanks

[@034motorsport]

As per factory procedures, aerobic sealant is what’s used to seal the rear main seal. The groove allows some sealant to squeeze into the groove and prevent all the sealant squeezing out.

[@034motorsport]

See 21:28 in the video…

[@viakion2125]

@@034motorsport Thanks. what if i get in and it leaks. many people im talking to are saying theirs had an error.

[@034motorsport]

@@viakion2125this is the same design and functionality in sealing as the factory part, if it leaks it’s an installation error.

[@ces3_rings]

Does it fit to Audi S3 8Y???

[@034motorsport]

We do not currently offer a Rear Main Seal for the 8Y S3.

It’s a shame that you even needed to respond. It seems like all you do is respond to dumb made up crap because the B8 network Facebook page is filled with trolls and drama.

[@stevenshizzle]

You posted this a while ago. I'm watching this today. I buy 034 because I know you stand behind your product, it's all made with great precision and care, and even if it's more expensive -- I know it's going to a "real business" and not a turnkey cloning shell of a corporation. You are everything that's right about the United States of America.

[@034motorsport]

Steven thank you for your incredible feedback, it means the world to us!

[@bdez1259]

After seeing this response, I am sold, 100% on 034. Lookin forward to the B9 A4 tuning.

[@mikemayers9353]

Do you have anything for the b8 2.0?
