Hi i`m new to this forum and thought that i need to share my project.
I bough audi 80 b2 quattro 1984 last year and started to rebuilding it,
changed the brakes all around,filters oil etc etc. and took it to local garage to get it welded as it had rotten boot an wheel arches.so done that and it passed its mot.
i drove it around in it for few months and engine started to smoke so took the engine out and rebuilt it top to bottom with all new parts.after that the engine was fitted and started up without any issues,but after idling for few hours its just cut out and it was hard to start it up,and them my problems started... over fueling no spark etc etc.managed to adjust it to run but was over fueling and was not idling.so gave up with it....Plus all the welding work what garage did i had to redo everything again because they just welded new sheets of metal on top of the rust,so had to cut everything out and redo all the welding.after all the problems i had i took the engine off and sold it,and bought my self a 3b engine so that`s what i`m doing with it at the moment.i made the engine look new again and its now ready to go in the car.But before that i need to fit new braided fuel lines,new brake lines and wiring loom before the engine and gearbox can go in.It should be done before Audis in the park but struggling with time.
