just got my first Audi. F plate Couple Quattro

[Jaswan]

I'm finally getting on with the car today. At long last haha.

I'm in the middle of getting the engine and box out. It's a bit slow going on my own with no engine lift lol.

Will put some more pics up soon.

Also if a mod looks in could they change my thread title please

Also, is it right that the car has no rear arb? Is it meant to be this way?

Hi,

I can confirm that the 10v B3 coupe quattro's never had an anti roll bar at the rear, it was only fitted to the 20v models with the 5 cyl engine and S2's (same applies for the audi 90 10v models) I should know as have owned plently of each over the years.

Regards, Dave.

Cheers, I was just expecting it to have a one. Is it straight forward to fit one?

Are there tabs on the struts? And mounts for the brackets on the subframe? I think early models tied the anti rolls bars to the control arms too, so plenty of options for retro fitting one.

I can't see any tabs on the subframe, do the fit along the back of the subframe? Think I'd have to weld on some brackets

Yeh its basically the mirror of the front setup, if the "grooves" are there for the bushes and no holes, you could drill them and buy the brackets and bushes. I think you will have the early style control arms where the drop links are sandwiched into the arms with bushes.

I think I have it figured out in my head but ill get a picture of it at the weekend

Well done for getting it out on your own!

Looks like a KV engine you got there, is it? What are you doing with it?

[Jaswan]

Where is the engine code on the engine and I will have a look.

There is a guy who may want the engine if not its free to anyone who wants to come pick it up.

Just behind the power steering pump below the head gasket.

KV is correct good spot

Had a decent day on it today.

I got all the bottles and the abs pump etc removed from the bay. Gave it a good jet wash to remove the worst of the grime. I got the looms pulled back and unplugged (engine loom won't be going back in but I need the connectors to convert the vr6 loom) and the lights loom needs a clean up and anything removing from it that isn't going back. I got the abs controller and associated wiring took out. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but it took me ages under the dash to unplug the looms etc.

I also made a start on removing the battery tray and pas pump bracket. But they will have to wait until I get some more time. I am working out of the uk for a month or so from tomorrow

Excuse the mess but I've had these seats sat in my garage for ages too. I might look at fitting them if I don't get some buckets in time.
