Well done Dave. Now go lie down in a dark corner for a month to recover from the hard graft….

Well done Dave. Great result for both of you and a great thread for posterity and reference on here.

Deposit taken.
I put something up on Facebook Classic Audi yesterday and was inundated with messages!
I've got what I consider to be a sensible amount for her. I've not made any profit or loss. It's going to another enthusiast which is the most important thing in my mind.

Someone is going to get a lovely car!

Yes, they are very tight. I left it in. Just plugged my spare switch underneath to try.

The electric window was a nice easy fix. I tested the motor was working from the wire that goes through the door pillar. There is a handy plug there and using my power probe I was able to operate the window fine.
So, onto the switch.
You can get to them easily by removing the ashtray (John).


I had a spare switch (as you do) so swapped it over. Still nothing. Then, looking at the plug, I could see one empty terminal. A quick hunt behind and there was the wire! Placed back in the plug and it's working perfectly.

Now. I noticed a small oil drip (red) under the car. On examination, it looks like my previously fixed pressure switch under the bomb is weeping. I've ordered a new one from Germany. I wish I'd just got the new one before as it's a buggy to get to.

Yes you can get to the switches, I don't think I've managed to actually remove one with the panel in position though ?

They do get through the jungle juice and it's a big tank, probably £100 quid to fill it these days I reckon.. not too bad on a run though, when we used to go to Chamonix in mine I think we only stopped once for fuel on the way.

Now you need to drive it every day for a week, get used to how it steers and how the power comes in, it's all about the midrange

It's nice. It's boosting properly now as well. But the empty light came on just before home and I put four gallons of super in!

No more projects for a while. I want to finish the TQS and service all the other cars in the household that have been waiting patiently for the lift.

This one will be up for sale soon once I've sorted a couple of small niggles.

Well done. Time for the next project.

And then lazer wheel alignment.
