The quattro lives!!

[Knight Rider S4]

Well after a pain staking few months of on and off work I have my RR just about back on the road

Got the car started today and what great feeling to be able to rev the engine without the the back firing , all the work for 1 broken tooth on the ring gear , a lot of head scratching with regard adapting parts ....Found out that the ring gear off 7A flywheel is the same so carefully removing this and put onto the RR one , going to keep the old one as orniment

Next job I have to do is slave cylinder and master cylinder for the clutch as this is gubbed , have changed over the slave cylinder just the master cylinder tomorrow (which looks like a complete sh#t to do)....Anybody got good techniques for bleeding the system as I tried to rig up easy bleed system on to clutch res and got nothing through bleed nipple on slave cylinder which I though was wierd ?..

Glad to see you're getting some progress but I will say that master cylinder is a right pita apparently, i'm doing mine before putting the dash back in.

Check this I found when i had similar problems bleeding my clutch, guess its a different set-up on the RR but worth a thought in this direction........

Thats a lovely looking UR you got there Steve - good work mate getting her back on the road I've always fancied a UR and if ever I managed to get one it would be one exactly like that - in pearl too cos all the best quattros are pearl white !

This woudlnt be yours by any chance?



Spotted a couple of years back in the car park of the Real Food Cafe in Tyndrum on the A82 on the way through Glencoe. It was sporting a custom number plate beginning "VAG" at the time and looked a very well looked after example. Always meant to post it up on the Spotted section but never got round to it.

cheers

Yeah ended up taking out the pedal box the whole works and replaced everything , after that bled the system in seconds and good clutch feel ... And all parts sourced from Audi Dealer!! shock horror!

Next on the list is the interior as drivers side carpet not best shape so will be playing about with this , Have relocated the ECU slightly as I wanted access to it on more than one occassion..In the centre console is a nuts place

Body work wise only lip on the wing and bottom of door need looked at , this will be getting done hopefully in the next few month , overtime willing !!..

Car is just super cool to drive ...never experienced anything like it , apart from the brakes which I need to look at..
