    Thanks. I have dash ones here and they are smaller. The door card ones are set in a plastic housing that screws onto the speaker cover. Not so easy to replace the speaker internals. I have been trying and its not gone well

    • I've done about 200 running in miles now.
      It's running nicely but I do have a little coolant leak. I think it's the joint from the thermostat pipe to the hard line pipe that runs down the block.

      Of course it's almost impossible to reach now everything is in the way.
      I came up with this 7mm spanner with an extension which allowed me to tighten the jubilee clip a turn.


      Thanks to Charlie (Cardcrash) here on the forum I have some good rear arch liners. One of mine was damaged. They are a pain to fit and by dropping the top wishbone joint, it was much easier.





      That's much better.

      • Thanks to Newsh I have a replacement fuel sender.


        Tank is still a little full to contemplate fitting it just yet.
        Some new trims also arrived from Germany. Quality looks good.


        And I was missing my wheel brace. A quick check on etka revealed this is a Porsche part. Picked up one from a Porsche breakers for a reasonable price.
        They are 19mm which is unusual.

              • Dave, if you work out a way of testing the originals, and find one coil failing, I’ve got two complete sets here you can test and if you fine a good one, (which you will, they came off the Rallycar S4 engine and the S2, both had an annoying hot full load misfire, which was one coil breaking down), you can have them free.

                  • Do check/swap over the coil pack boots as they can be problematic rather than the coils themselves. Fat Audi 80 did a Group Buy on these many moons ago (220ish )

                    • If it's just the boots arcing, wrapping them with electrical tape worked on my aan while i waited for parts. As ghetto as that is....

                          Dave we done the Audi museum in Ingolstadt and was amazing dedicate a day for it though. I can’t remember where we stayed but it was about 40 mile away. If you’re over there for a little bit a couple of places we loved was Trier, Cochem Koblenz they north and the Black Forest Friberg Titisee and Tribourg. Amazing places and when we stayed at Titisee we stayed 5 mile outside at a place called Saig absolutely amazing hotel there when you drive in

                          • Thanks Anthony.

                            So I fitted a new set of NGK plugs and replaced two ropey insulator tubes and she is running much better. I took her for a little spin to test. This is up in the Preseli hills which is only a short drive away.






                            The grill clips arrived from Germany and were duly fitted.


                            Thankfully I was only missing three. They are expensive.

                            • Great attention to detail, once run in are you getting it mapped or leaving as is?

                              • FYI: Those little clips accept a small screw as shown here:
