Hi, i thought i would get round to starting a build thread on my S2 avant. Some of you may know the car. I bought it of the forum from StevenEK9 at the end on october. This is my first audi and i have been wanting a 5 cylinder turbo for age's but have always had money and time spent on other projects. I am on stranger to car forums and i am a car enthusiast of many different makes and models. I currently have rover metro track car and a couple of BMW's and a couple of bikes.
my metro (money pit):
one of my BMW's :
As soon as i seen the audi up for sale i knew i couldn't pass it up.
cleaned up after it trip back down from Aberdeen to its new home in dumfries:
since buying it i have had a few problems but nothing out of the ordinary for a car this age. First it was a struggle to select gears in it so i stripped the shifter down.
the shifter bush was worn. I checked with audi and the have stopped making them. I was going to modify the one i have but i think i will just buy one of the 034 solid shifter bushes.
The next thing was the throttle stuck open. The problem turned out to be the throttle cam cable holder had snapped.
I was going to order a new one but thought it looked like a rubbish design so i modified it and weld on a metal replacement.
I have another few jobs to do on the car like front strut tops, diff bushes prop shaft joint but i will get round to them.
I was going to keep this car as is but i have already got use to the power and will be looking at tuning next year once i have all the chassis up to scratch.
More updates to come soon of the chassis work.
