Hi,
Not an S2 but I know there's some good guys on here so thought it might be worth an ask.
I'm now the owner of the 80 quattro avant that Nogin and co converted from v6 to 7a power. See the work here - http://www.audi-20v.co.uk/myquattro5.htm
In the 2 weeks I've had the car it's had a new power steering pump, spark plugs, rotor arm and a distibutor cap.
Power steering pump was leaking when I bought it so just put a good used one on I had lying around.
The spark plugs etc were put on to try and cure a starting issue. it didn't work.
When cold the car will turn over a few times before it catches then dies. a few repeated attempts at this gets it running though albeit very reluctantly. When warmed up it turns over for ages before starting. Once started when warm it idles fine.
The car seems down on power. It stinks of petrol when warmed up. It also seems reluctant to rev back up after changing gear.
I've also noticed that a few times when trying to start the car it seems to stop like the starter has jammed or something. When this happens the engine feels like it's rattling around the engine bay !
Any help with these problems will be much appreciated.
