    Just an interesting observation, on eBay there’s at least ten Audi 80 Cabriolets being broken. Very similar to what the S2’s went through several years ago. Anyone with a decent one would probably be well advised to hold onto it, it’ll be as rare as hen’s teeth soon.

      Lots of shiny new parts ready to go on.
      I got hold of one of James billet pulleys. A piece of art.


      And going back on.

            Ideally you want an axle stand under the extension or a jack with a block of wood on to support the head of the torque wrench. If you lean hard on it like that the torque won’t necessarily be correct and also you can split the socket.

                I went on a little parts buying trip.
                Thanks to Rob (Bertman) I now have a new old stock Behr radiator and a nice steering wheel.




                And thanks to Error404 I also have a very good new coolant pipe.


                I have also changed the other two rubber coolant pipes on that side while the radiator is out.

                Now, I thought fitting the steering wheel would be a straight swap. Unfortunately, the shaft diameter is different. So, not being one to give up easily and having a later 80 cabbie here for spares, I set about swapping them over. Not so easy but got there in the end.
                Whilst there, I found another little job.
                The wiring is a mess.

                  And last night I swapped the LCD over.
                  All good fun.

                    I’ve removed all the coolant pipes and they are getting cleaned inside and out.

                        Fair play Dave, your keeping yourself busy! Wish I could be doing the same... Still my elbow is very slowly getting better and my workshop is probably a week off being finished, so at least I have something nice to look forward to.

                            The left side of the block is rather crusty.
                            A quick clean up with a wire brush whilst I have access.


                            When clean, I used Fertan. This stuff is really good on cast metal. It gets into all the nooks and crannies.


                            10 minutes after applying, it’s already doing its thing.


                            After a few days, I will rinse off, dry and paint with POR engine paint.

                              And checking all the plugs I found that one one on the water rail is falling apart. I seem to remember I had to replace this one on the Avant.


                              Luckily there is a good one on the cabbie I’m breaking.

                                Remember mine filling with water when one of the o rings failed and over time wrecked the plug. Make sure the boot is sealed well
