    1994 aby coupe

    Couple of questions with my recent purchase, it's an L plated purple coupe with all the nice bits, leather, carbon, elec rear windows heated seats etc etc. It's in need of a resto with a full respray but mechanically not too bad.

    In need of new plastic door and rear quarter trims, both sides. Are these generic among coupes?

    Speedo seems a little erratic, doesn't read correctly seems slow to pick up correct speed then stays the same under braking. Could this be a speed sensor or..?

    Air con radiator is shot, are these still available through Audi?

    In need of a good few bushes, and I'll want to upgrade the suspension also. Are most on here running coilovers and poly bush set up?

    Any suggestions for suspension?

    And finally, whilst it sounds well and goes great I'd like to improve on the engine note, air filter and a full system I'd hope would make it louder?

      Sometimes the face of the speedometer peels away and catches the needle.

      The trims are generic for coupes. They can still be got new, I dont know for how much longer though.

        Thank you, although your three and a half hours away so I'd happily pay for a courier?

        Speedo clocks look in perfect nick, problem must be elsewhere

          The speedo fault is most likely the sender on the gearbox or simply the conection to it, try unplugging it and cleaning the contacts.

          Unless your prepaired to use a load of heatshielding cone filters are useless, a single box exhaust however makes things audible and will improve performance a little.

                Milltek are nice if you can find one. I have one on mine with de-cat pipes and it sounds perfect. The stock system is faaarrrr too quiet!
