2.6 v6 avant

[Deacs]

Picked this up two weeks ago for £350 due to a ecu fault. Slapped an mot on it with no issues. Second hand ecu and all is good.

I've just fitted a v6 coupe front bumper and have a sport steering wheel and set of vdo gauges to go on it, still in two minds whether to change the wheels or not for something bigger?

[Deacs]

Shot of the rear. I did not add te stickers or badges by the way, they were on it when I bought it!

reminds me of the auto one I had, same colour and year.

I like!

Such a good price!!! Whens the 20v I5 going in there?

Aahahah, Love the color

It's very straight and clean and even the light grey interior is spotless, quite a feat with such a light coloured interior. Needs a bloody good polish though.

[Deacs]

Gotta admit the 2.6v6 is woeful in performance but being that its a fwd and not a Quattro I can't see much point in chasing power..... Unless its possible to convert to quattro drivetrain?

[djh]

yes it is possible to convert, use the search function.

Looks cool let me know if you end up selling the current wheels

[Acidburn]

You will have the pickup points for the rear subframe/uprights on your car under the underseal, you will need to weld in two flanged nuts and a couple of brackets plus change the fuel tank for a quattro tank and grind off a few of the small mounts for the heat shields etc. I had all the quattro stuff bolted up to my project which started out fwd.

I still have the correct bracket for the rear diff from my ex project at home thats no longer required.

Nice car, the V6 is very smooth but no ball of fire.

Ive broken a 2.6 quattro saloon so if you do go down the quattro route then ive got all the parts you will need
Also got a set of 17 that will look good on it pm me if interested

Looks a little like the one I ve been breaking
I like the v6 even if they re not quick

[Deacs]

Yes it's not quick, been trying to find info on any possibility of a a supercharge conversion or the like but info is limited. I've mainly had BMW 6 pots in the last 15 years so I do like the sound of a 6 banger but I still think the best sounding car I've owned was a 2.2 20v coupe many years ago. An inline 5 at full chat sounds glorious.

fit a 2.8 30v A4 motor then 200bhp i think

[Deacs]

Easy swap?

[Sleeper_Avant]

never done it!

cant imagine the bolt in bit is hard, get an early A4 and it shouldnt be imoblised i wouldnt have thaught?!

i had an early Quattro and it went like a scolded cat!
snapped a rear driveshaft on the way home being a **** lol

Do it
i have a Quattro rear subframe, shock mounts and top arms all free if you want them if you decide to grow a pair of balls and go Quattro
