RichLV's UrS4

My set up. Same as per the photo Dave posted. Used hose rather then pipe on the outside of the valve cover.

PCV System Info - including using a 7A cam cover

Also I'm planning to outfit a 7A valve cover, which only has a vent duct on the back of it. So no venting to intake anyway.

I am a fan of keeping the OE PCV system in place, in top condition, with a catch can that drains back to the sump, if needed.

As for the 7A cam cover, the PCV system vent tube that is inside the AAN (and ABY and ADU) cam cover can be handled like this:

Is it worth to replace standard air filter for a conical one? I have one just lying around, thinking about swapping it in.

No, don't do it. Fitting a new branded paper filter to the oem air box is the best way forward tbh.

Another thought I have is about oil catch cans. I'm not a big fan of crank air venting back into intake. We have a number of catch cans available here and I'm wondering how are they connected? AFAIK there are 3 ports on the engine - 1 at the back of the valve cover, 1 at the side which vents the air to intake, 1 on the block which is the one letting that air out.
What happens If I stop air vent back to intake? The connection point is already past the MAF, so I'm guessing it wont influence it's readings?

Nice.Welcome to the forum!!

Pictures will be incoming shortly. Along with some more details.

So during these 2 months what has been done:
- First thing I did was rework the amplifier and sub-woofer wiring. Sub-woofer was connected through a seat heater button, and was being kept ON until I moved the heater wheel to 0. Of course I forgot to do that once and the next day battery was dead. People who do wiring like that should get their fingers cut off. I reconnected it all properly through the REMOTE wire on my radio, throwing a switch in between just in case I need to turn it off fast.



- Autocheck was constantly shouting that engine was too hot, and the coolant display was going haywire. Replaced the 4-pin coolant sensor with a new Behr 3-pin sensor. Threw a new coolant reservoir in there as well.



- Rear brakes were almost completely dead. The calipers were completely restored along with braces, brake disks were refurbished and new pads were bought. Just recently I received new Bosch parking brake cables, will install them shortly.



- The aforementioned leaks. Oil filter mounting was leaking, turbo was leaking coolant, hydraulic brake booster was leaking. All the gaskets around the turbo and oil lines were replaced, and hydraulics were swapped for vacuum.





Plans for the near future:
- Inner timing belt cover is missing. Got it just today brand new.


- Finish with rear brakes.
- Exhaust has to be remade, it's horrible.
- Weld left sill, it's rusty and has a hole.
- Pass annual technical inspection.
- Replace front shocks, the right one is done.

Hey guys! New member here, although I've been reading through some of the threads for some time.

Wanted to show off my 1992 URS4 Saloon. I'm the owner since 27th January.



The car is pretty banged up and requires attention. I've been doing things slowly and it's starting to get better but still a lot of work remains.

The package is fairly standard for an S-type car:
- 2.2 20vt
- Quattro ofc
- Climate control
- Lens headlights
- Trip comp, autocheck
- 4 electric windows and heated side mirrors

Good thing that I got it already remade for TFSI coils and HP2 front brakes. Also, when looking at shocks I noticed that it packs some cool Eibach lowered springs - EW 1515001VA.

When I got it, it was leaking horribly, all the fluids except petrol were leaking. Some parts and hours later it was fixed, and also switched to Vacuum brake booster, since the hydraulic one was living it's own life. The worst thing about the car is that it doesn't have AAN block anymore, some *******s thought it would be a cool idea to bolt AAN head to 3B block. Block swap is planned to return the AAN block and do some head work in the mean time.

I will have a lot of questions for 20vt gurus here
