With the sun shining and little to no wind for a change, the diff & subframe was bolted to the car. It's been in my workshop for a month so it's good to start clearing the parts from the workshop and bolting them to the car.

Modified the bracket to if the Merc actuator, just hope I have no more leaks and the actuator works.

So I could get the jack under the diff and raise it to the car had to come up with a way of raising the subframe/diff it up a little.

Suspension fitted next

Final part for the evening was the hub.

Car is so much nicer to work on when it's not covered in rust, oil grease & schutz.

Only thing slowing me down at the moment if finding all the torque setting. I'm either referencing the Haynes coupe manual, a list I found on an S2 website, Google or Elsawin using the B5 A4, as some of the parts/setup is similar.

Tomorrow, get the brakes, prop and exhaust fitted. Sounds so easy but I know it's going to be a pain with the limited room I have to work under the car.

So I fitted the front wheel drive cables today. A thanks goes to @Jaswan for bring over some new spare cables he had. So used 2 of the shorter cables, one side is just about a perfect length and the other is 50mm longer so will see how well that works once I've got the brakes on.

As usual with some aftermarket parts the quality is not always that good. This burr stopped it fitting so had to be filled back

Handbrake cables fitted

Also fixed the issue of these pipes getting a bit to close

Nice sunny day today so just fitted the heatshield, next up will be the diff & subframe

I put the pagid ones from eurocarparts on mine,The passenger side fits perfect but the driver side is a bit long and is about 25mm away from my standard exhaust,I'll put some heat protection on before I put it back on the road,handbrake works perfect though. Keep up the good work enjoying your thread as well as tractor Dave's

They are HQ and another brand, that I cannot remember.

I think I ended up using these. Cut the rubbers off and the extra length I ended up cable tying to the underside at a suitable location. I've since swapped them out so don't have any further details. Are they pagid items?

[B5NUT]

So I've just been caught out by the new handbrake cables I purchased last year. It would appear the quattro ones an NLA except tradition. Now the quattro part numbers are 893698722E and 893698721E However most sellers on ebay and Autodoc cross link them to these part numbers 893698722F and 893698721F which are for front wheel drive models, and they are slightly longer by around 50mm and have moulded rubber part which could easily be cut away.

Has anyone else fitted the front wheel drive handbrake cables to their quattro models? The ends are the same so it's just the case of getting the extra 5cm to fit without rubbing on something.

Had a forum member very kindly say they have some actual quattro cables that they can provide to me, but just want a backup plan in case they are the same front wheel drive cables. Why is nothing ever simple on this car!

[Jaswan]

Looking really good! Those neck snapping hours under the car are paying off!

Jase.

Finally got finished with cutting and bending hardlines, just need to tighten the compression joints and fasten the final 2 clips. Then connect the flexi pipes to the tank & breather.

For the feed line I took the pipe I had made up to my local Pirtek, and they fitted a couple of compression joints. Nice helpful group of people.

Not 100% OEM but far better than what was there before.

This area still need a slight tweak

For the rest of it, I'm happy enough with the fitment

Got the rear heat shield on. It's not great looking but it will do the job for a good many years to come

Once the handbrake cables are on and the other heat shield fitted, I can finally start getting parts bolted back on to the car. If weather is kind to me for the next couple of weeks!

Etka lists two different injectors. So 3B is 034906031 and ABY is 034906031B The 3B injector was used from 1980 to early 90's, but the ABY injector was only used for a few years. Noticed a fair few parts are obsolete on the ABY and yet still available for the 3B. However I wanted the 6 speed box so I'm stuck with my choice.

I sometimes regret buy the S2, but I'm sure it's only because it's been off the road for the last 5 months and I've not been able to drive it. Also the amount of money it's consumed and still consuming! At least I know once this is done I won't have to do it again for a long time.

[Monkeymagic]

I could look through my receipts..

[Monkeymagic]

Mine is a 3b so not sure if they are the same on ABY, I suspect they are. I just used the part number from the injector, I changed them at the same time as my injector seats...

[B5NUT]

Interesting, do you know the Bosch part number?

[Monkeymagic]

I replaced mine and bought them from Bosch, it wasn't that long ago

They can be fully refurbished and most are running fine at over 200k. Get them sent for ultrasonic cleaning and flow testing.
