I read one thread where the rod was longer on a new part, the poster subbed it with the old rod. I did that, my new rod was maybe 1/16th shorter...

    Hi all, I have an issue with my 2006 b6. The aircon clutch is constantly engaged, with aircon off/ engine off. It has been regased and I get cooler air if I switch to econ. Any ideas? Is it worth switching out just the clutch to see, or is that a waste of time?? I’d be grateful for any help
