[Farhazaftab786g]

Here she is my second S2 this time an Avant !!
purchased from Newsh.
very clean and tidy car with electric heated recaros, cruise control and carbon trim !!

The bolero wheels were the first to be swapped out for a set of S8 D2 wheels on 15mm spacers.

Stunning car and if it came from John then it'll be as close to perfect as possible, I actually looked at his avert and wondered why it hadn't sold in an instant. enjoy your new purchase.

Thanks, the car is a good example with minimal work required. Worst bit being the headlining. It should have sold sooner but i am happy i purchased it

Yeah, I have the joyous task of sorting the headlining on my RS2. Which I'm dreading, though a member/friend who's tackled the job before has kindly offered to help me with the difficult bit's which is reassuring.

After a couple of hard pulls the car has started wooshing on boost. Suspect boost leak so the tester came out. Blocked off the breather and the hose from the intercooler which attaches to the charge pipe. I do not have a compresser so had to pump the air by hand using a bike pump. As suspected i hear the hiss but can't track it down. I remove and inspect each hose but all look good. The intercooler still has the O ring so i have ordered a reducer hose to do the Mark H mod.

Bit of a success this afternoon, old squeaky dayco drive belts binned and replaced for new gates ones. No more annoying squeak. New genuine Audi rings fitted on the tailgate. Mark H mod also done but still have a wooshing sound when on boost so still leaking.

Mark H mod

[Farhazaftab786g]

Boost leak found !! I removed all the boost hoses and found a large split on the turbo -intercooler one. Luckily i could use the originals from my Coupe as i swapped out to Roose hoses. Everything back together then out for a test drive. No more wooshing and full boost restored.
Whilst everything was removed i noticed the diverter valve wasn't holding vacuum. Ordered the latest revision 710P from Audi and replaced the old one which seemed to be the original.
