  • 1995 Audi S2 ABY Avant in Silver

    Hi

    I'm reluctantly selling my Silver S2 Avant ABY 1995, after 11 years of ownership and twice before considering selling. It has provided much fun and many great days out but I have reached my limit on hunting out bugs or the cost of someone else doing this. As you can see further down the listing there is a breakdown of what work has been done over the years and the last few years it spent most of the time off the road running up a nice big bill toward rebuilding or say in dry storage. It has recently had the turbo rebuilt into a new housing, gearbox rebuilt and the top end of the engine rebuilt to only now have developed a fault with a hydraulic lifter and I have decided to call it quits. Part of me thinks i should have given up before the turbo/gearbox/top end work given I didnt get to drive for sometime but at least it has added value to the car.

    Price £10,000 ono.

    The good:
    • Full leather carbon interior, with AC and roof rails option
    • Many parts included (spare front bumper with some damage, replacement rear nearside window mechanism, fuel filter, probably some other bits still about too)
    • 3" exhaust from CAT
    • CAT has been cleared out recently and runs at about 1/10 required emissions
    • Relatively rust free (see 1st point under bad)
    • Turbo has been rebuilt into a new housing
    • Gearbox has been rebuilt and some gears replaced (1st gear could only be cleaned up as they couldn't find a replacement)
    • Recent CAM belt and new crank pulley (still no idea how the garage managed to split the old one taking it off)
    • Front shocks replaced with Bilstein (B6 I think)
    • Tandem pump replaced (used part, but I think I still have the other as spare to go with the car too)

    The bad:
    • Slight rust on one front wheel arch
    • Tandem pump (old and now new after being left standing) does have a judder through the brake pedal
    • 1st gear makes a noise but doesn't affect shifting or any other gears (have been told that this is because it was cleaned up not replaced)
    • Reversing lights don't come on (replaced the cable leading through the flexi in the boot door to no avail)
    • Dashboard lights are somewhat temperamental
    • Front wipers will occasionally stop and just need putting on full again to kick start them going again, warn part of mechanism
    • Heater resistor fuse has gone (replacement with the car just never fitted)
    • Heater bearing warn and can get noisy at times on full
    • Air con isn't cold, was at one point but doesn't get used enough to know when it stopped
    • Far side inside door handle doesn't quite bounce back to the right place (still functions without any issue and without any forcing etc just the little spring inside)
    • Far side control of front passenger electric window only allows close not open (faulty spade connector but not had chance to replace)
    • Near side rear electric window motor is dead (have replacement motor and mechanism but didn't want to risk breaking the glass when I tried sorting this and couldn't work out if there was any other way)
    • Far side front wing trim plastic missing (about 20cm part, possible part no 8AO 853 992B‎)
    • Front screen wash pump was replaced with one without the sensor (cable still in situ ready for new pump with sensor if it can be found)
    • Headlining has sagged and secured from getting worse but could do with refitting
    • Some scuffs, stone chips, etc from being a daily driver for years

                  Yep, this must be a bargain !

                  Isn't it only ~1812 built of this one ?
                  Anyone know how many RHD's ?

                    Hi

                    293 registered (guess based on how many left and assuming all the coupe ones got registered as coupe) and 34 on the road still on the same assumptions.

                    Just been into the garage again today to make sure nothing is ceased up and all rolls and turns over and remembering that I’m not getting any time to work on the poor car anytime soon and it’s such a waste keeping her like this.

                    So still for sale if anyone is interested.
