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.

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.

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.
