My Ocianic Blue Ur restoration

[Tractor Dave]

I did my heater matrix I don't think i removed the dash but it requires major surgery as for the slave cylinder if your car is a left hand drive I think exchanging the slave cylinder is easier as the pedal box is not in the way

It's right hand drive. Looks like pedal box obstructs the matrix and master is in there. Slave on gearbox housing so I will do that when the engine comes out

Good plan. How easy is it to get the heater matrix out? Looks completely different to my S2

Joss, your old Ur looks great there.

I have made some small progress over the last few days. It's slow as most of the bolts and screws are seized or rusted up

Hi Dave if you have access to your clutch slave cylinder change it even if it works I have a new unit if your interested

Do the clutch master cylinder which sits on top of the pedal box. Slave is on top of the gearbox.

Easy car to work on and you get it right they look great and Simon from Classic Quattros is a good help careful Quattro corner is a bit pricey for parts

Thanks Joss, good plan, put it aside for me. The engine will be coming out soon.

Steering wheel bosses you can swap easily. About the dash it is usually done with a bit force.

There was another nut hidden under the centre air vents. Off now

Spal make car alarms I suspect it's an electronic door lock actuator in place of the vac controlled factory unit

I found some lost coins under the carpet

As well as an iffy repair

The carpet is out

The wires were a mess

I’ve removed the 2 10mm nuts from the bulkhead and the two by the windscreen pillars but the upper dash still won’t come out. Do I need to remove all the vent pipes first?
Also. I have a very nice Nardi sport steering wheel to fit but it has a different boss. Can I swap them over or do I need to do something else?


Also found this on the drivers door. Some sort of electrical device for the door lock.

Thanks guys. Your comments really help.

Spent the day in the garage today. Made some progress, seats out and stored plus made a good start on the dash.



Found some hidden rust and a few bodges.




Where is the plastic?


And the steering cowl had been glued using super glue. It had melted the wire insulation and the wire was stuck inside the cover!

Gonna be another great restoration im sure. You have a very nice setup to work from now too.

Will this thread make the same post counts as the last? if it does, it could mean you are either having fun or, having a nightmare but either way, I'm tuned in!

Loving the lift as well. So many times, I've contemplated one but I would need to lift the flat roof of my garage to get it in and that requires planning and a wedge of money.

I loved your last project and will certainly watch this one with interest! Am sorting my S2 Coupe out in March next year busy gathering parts for it! Good luck with the UR
