Ruby Red Audi S2 Avant

Thanks for your help

Was told 035145773D and 035145757D are NLA. 035145757C is available. So only 1 of the 4 gaskets needed for these pipes. Not sure how different they are in terms of size.

035145757C is slightly larger and uses 8mm bolts the others are 6mm.
I have reused them before

I got some of the oil pipe gaskets from Audi last year but they couldn't supply the main k24 exhaust gasket had to get that off ebay.
Bolts I used 6mm and 8mm st/st allen cap heads from local supplier.

did you try the stealer? that's where I bought mine when I did my upgrade
or are the NLA by now?

[Michael S2]

I've managed to source most parts, but i still need the gaskets for the turbo oil feed and return pipes and some new bolts. Does anyone know where i can buy these? I don't have the car near me right now.

So it's been a wee while since my last update. Still been using the car regularly and had a jaunt to London in the summer as well as a tour of Mull as well. Car performed perfectly on both trips.

I've had a persistent water leak for some time and had to top up the coolant nearly every week. I couldn't diagnose it, but it was coming from the back of the engine. Mechanic looked at it and it seems partly the head gasket but also the plastic water adapter was leaking too. I decided it was about time just to get it rebuilt. Head is now off and the gasket has gone a little at the rear of the engine, but not into the rings at all and the bores are in great condition.

Now being rebuilt and i will use my Wagner RS2 evo exhaust manifold when the head is refitted. Will update with photos soon. It's a shame all my old photos have disappeared from this thread.

S2 barked back into life after a 4 month lay up. Time to get MOT

[Michael S2]

You're right there Luckily an easy fix for this Helmet

[geneandbolly]

There's nothing worse than having a rough Helmet, Mike!

Glad you got it sorted.

I left it with the mechanic to have a quick look to see if he could make a diagnosis. Turns out he had unplugged something to get to the matrix pipes in the engine bay. Plugged back in and all is well. Probably where the coilpacks plug into the POS. So it was probbaly only running on 3 cylinders at best!

Thanks anyway Alex for your input as always I might go for one of your looms for running the newer type coils at some point if you are still making them?
