look at it this way, at least it's still known to you and I've been a classic car nut for 14 years, I've rebuilt an opel manta from a bare shell and it won its class in the national concours event at billing last year, it's in good hands

Keep it to yourself, but I do like a nice Manta... But where have they all gone ? Did they dissolve over the years of iodic rain or are they just hidden away in cowsheds... I can honestly say I aint seen one for years.

BOTH

You cant use the manta like an audi, they will rot and fall apart. I hate taking mine out in the rain. there are a lot of cars about ireland that never see road as well, boys seem to just collect them. You do get a good turnout to the shows over here tho, up to about 25 was about our best.

Aye go on then - I'm hoping its a white 2.0 GTE with the twin lights... or even better a big scary Manta 400 rally speciale !

If it weren't for a certain Audi then I reckon the Manta would be my favorite car from the 80s - you had to be there really

Its a mini Opel invasion... They both look well tidy.

Ban this thread now....

Wow...wow...wow...

I like them

**gunman** · 24 January 2009, 17:54

Well, the Audi has developed a slight fault....It wont start, drove it today and it was fine, stopped in my driveway and it wont fire 5 mins later, no spark

.

Any ideas anyone?

**Acidburn** · 24 January 2009, 23:48

Check if it has a spark, might be the coil pack or pos playing up?

**macspring** · 25 January 2009, 08:40

I'll buy for

£200, now that it is a non runner?

Good luck fixing it.

Looking forward to seeing, what we all missed out on, in the flesh.

Kind regards.

Just got one myself !!

For such a rare car these days i was amazed to see this thread at just the time i was gonna check the Forum out for info myself. I have just aquired a 80 MY92 2.8 Quattro saloon and am loking for a little help myself. Couple of things:

Only running on 4 at the mo. No spark on two but the offending coil Primary and secondary windings are same as the others inc the HT leads. However the ign module on the bulk head has 3 switched outputs to the coils and 2 are 0.6 volts DC at idle and one is only 0.3. I am suspecting the module but was looking for someone who may be able to share some info with me?

Secondly. I looked into wiring up the MIL "CAT" lamp as per Pauls "S2Central" suggests for the S2, however the grey/brown wire on the T5 pug is not there? does anyone have any idea where it is or a pin out for the ECU?

Cheers Guys,

PS Sorry you missed out on the car Paul, at least it went to another Forum member!!

**gunman** · 25 January 2009, 20:08

Wish mine woud run on 4 cyls

**Glen Chamberlain** · 25 January 2009, 20:38

Have you got switching on the injectors? Have you got any cyls sparking? If not then i would go straight to the crank sensor and check that. check for ac voltage on cranking and check the restance through it?
