Quick question first...which hole is correct for rear inner ball stud mount on B6? Two different pics in manual, (middle/outer) and set up sheet different again. (Inner!!)
Re manual a few other things here too...and have checked online version and same as my printed copy.
A few screws haven't matched manual, but mostly I've found screws are a more useable/correct length in bags, wrong in manual. Good example steering ball joints...manual says 6mm, box had 8mm...6mm wouldn't allow for any spacers if you needed/wanted.
Good build though so far; I'm 2/3rds in.

Just start with the middle hole. It's all going to get changed anyway when you tune to your specific track.
With the laydown in the B6d last week at Amain most of the team used middle hole with 2mm. Brent and a couple others tried the outside hole and I think stayed with it.
Test and try for yourself.

Weird, I did not have any screw issue for the B6D. I followed the manual and measured each screw before putting them in. I was missing one screw, but they had one in the "spares" bag. but, I opened several bags and dumped them into a parts tray, then measured and grabbed the ones i needed. I didnt specifically follow the bag number closely.
You're supposed to use M3x14's for the rear of the transmission into the rear camber block, B6 says M3x8, not sure M3x14's even got shipped with the kit, I used some M3x12's I had lying around.
Bottom of transmission B6D instructions are correct (4 M3x10, 2 M3x12). B6 is wrong (6 M3x12).

Just finished wiring mine. I'm by no means good but i've found I don't like the battery strap or the waterfall for clean wiring.
