Got some new parts (Exept for the old fog light) for the car today, also a set of drilled front brake discs and pads. Happy days with new parts
Fog lights and turn signals original Hella, will make the front end look so much better.

Today it was time for an oil change. Engine has done 500km on 20W50 kendall mineral oil. Now i'm using the same oil as in my UrS4, Motul 15W50 full synthetic, oil filter used is from 1.8T (Mann 940/66). Still waiting on the brake calipers from the painter. Will post when i get them back

Long long day in the garage, but now he idles like brand new Shame on me, i had missed out on the timing of the camshafts. Some how i had set the camshafts to "zero" when the camgear was retarded the half tooth out. The inlet cam was a tooth wrong on the camshain, must have been totaly wasted in the head when i did it as i knew how it was supposed to be..
Anyway, big relief this day, this have cost me lots and lots of time. Now i will celebrate with a beer.
Little video from tonights work:

Hopefully its not too late but as you gone that far on your calipers, I would pay serious attention to the brake pad guide plates. They are notorious for trapping corrosion behind them and lifting from the caliper body causing issues with brake pads sticking.
Basically unless they are perflectly flush with the caliper body then there is likely to be corrosion behind them. From your pics it looks as though they is an issue on the one caliper thats visible!
Warning they are not easy to remove due to the small screws and disimiliar materials! Worth spending an evening researching the issue!

Yeah i spent a long time trying to get the bolts off, heating etc. But the screws wouldn't move a bit. Instead of breaking things i blasted as much as i could behind/between and got lots of corrosion out. The corrosion as you see in the picture has bendt the guide plate. After blasting i could bend it with not much force to its original place (tested with a brake pad). Ideal would for sure be to get them off and blast/paint behind. But to get to the bolts/drill them out it looks to me that the calipers have to be split, and to do that the guides need to be removed... In my case destroy them to split the calipers. I choose to not do this at the moment. Hopfully it will not cause problems for many years, the car will never see salty roads again in my time. Thanks for your sharp eye's and advice

Ok, didn't know that, thought they where copper.

The photo I sent has the complete suspension rebuilt and reinstalled I had an issue with the Bilstein shocks as they are the wrong ride height so I had to dissamsemlre the rear end. I have also just sent the wheels for refurbishment I will get some pics over to you when reinstalled.

[s0_big]

looking good I recently rebuilt the entire suspension and braking system on my RS I have never shot blasted so much surface rust from car suspension as bad as this but after painting its worth the effort

Thanks. Yeah, there are some surface rust on my suspension parts to, but not as much as i had on my URS4 when i did the total underneat refurb. This RS2 is summer driven since it came to Sweden in 2001 and before i bought it, it was on jack stands since 2013. Any pictures of your car after you did the suspension/brake rebuild?

Bolts and other stuff sendt for electrogalvanizing, calipers at the paint shop. Took like 8hr to blast and mask the calipers. Hopfully they will turn out good looking

Dirty parts blasted. Will have to mask them up and clean a little more before sending it to the painter. Not sure what to do with the rear brake discs.. Maybe regular 2K paint will do it if i dont trackday the car. Any one know what new brake discs is "coated" with, like Zimmermann discs? Bolts and brackets will be galvanized yellowish.

Also i found one interesting thing about the rear drilled discs, they have a Sebro part nr, but i have no luck finding them online.
Readings on the disc: Sebro 205804, 1.4064 and then just info about Min-thickness/diam.
As far as i know the only place we can get them is from Audi TRS and they are like 480Euro for one disc... Any one that can check the Sebro part nr? I had no luck searching just got the regular non-drilled disks from Sebro.

On the to do list now (except get the idle right) is to do some work on the brakes and wheels. Not a very big work, but still needs to be done.
After all engine work and fault finding i need something smaller to work with during the winter.
Calipers will be blasted and painted, rims will be refurbished, wheel nuts will be anodized black.
Started my "winter project" today
If some one have dust/splash shields for the front brakes or know where to buy i would be happy, Audi trs had only the left one..
