    Hello Dino brethren...

    One day I hope to be the owner of one these gorgeous automobiles. For now, I console myself with the fact that at least some components of my vintage BMW's (3.0 CS, 3.0 Si and 1800) are also found on the Dino...

    Hopefully this will also help other bona fide 206/246 owners. I see that the ATE calipers are shared between our cars and in fact Matthias has posted on his blog that he found them as an Audi-dealership-stocked part as recently as last year. I've searched AND searched and I can't find any references as to an Audi part number or another source for these bleeder caps. Can anyone offer some help?

    Thanks in advance; I hope to be able to somehow reciprocate the favor at some point.

    I believe you are referring to the post on my blog from dino246.com . I sourced these bleeder caps from an Audi dealer through the service department. Forget searching online or calling the parts department of an Audi franchise. I just went to an Audi dealer, spoke to a tech, and he rifled in the back and came out with a handful of them for free. For all I know he swiped them off a car on the lift :)

    Rob, Sorry, yes, that is the blog. Somehow I thought it was Matthias'. Thanks. I'll try to go to my dealer and see what they come up with...
