Water leaks all fixed now

See this thread

[newsh]

kids are still here actually, they can't afford to move out!

Anyway I only washed the fronts

[Ross]

Looking good, you must have 'em running to your satisfaction if you have time to clean them then?

Not sure how you manage two, I'm struggling to get all the odd jobs done on just the one! Let me guess... kids left home and gearing down for retirement?

[newsh]

Cheers chaps!

One day I should make a list of all the jobs I've done on this car. Of course I've had it long enought to be second time round on a lot of them..

Actually a better list would be of all the people on the forum I've bought parts off and the cars that have donated

[4WheelDrifter]

Show off!

Looking good, Sir.

Got the passenger seat mounted on the subframe and fitted, no carpet but never mind



Bit of a spruce up

[newsh]

Well, after the N75 Saga I looked at all the 3B oil cooler bits I got from Jonnybravo and avants2turbo and managed to make up a set with what looks like an almost new core decent brackets and good pipes. Pulled the temporary green bumper off and fitted the cooler, on with the repainted indigo non washer bumper, looking good Swapped the headlight bulbs for Philips Vision + and fixed the loose reflector in the LH one which had come disconnected from the adjuster motor.

Took it for a blast

Jobs still to do.
Opening rear windows.
Cut sound deadening and refit carpet ...if water leaks are fixed...
get passenger seat fitted to subframe, only has driver's at the mo.
Got to change the Rad which has peeling fins, have a decent one waiting and also have the full Samco water kit to go on but that will wait for another day.

The girls seem to be getting on ok, no fights yet..

What exhaust have you got? Why are you ditching the 034?

Good luck with the water, I am still carpetless, sponge in permanent residence.

The 034 is a bit loud for me so I've bought a 3" custom one with a much bigger back box which should be quieter.

I'm hopeful on the window adjustment, I've done most of the other things, sunroof, holes in the scuttle, bonnet pull cable etc.

I wouldn't risk a 2nd hand oil cooler when a new one is only £45.

I agree, I changed my 3B cooler to an ABY one afew years back but its now damaged and with the 3B cooler cores being so cheap I wanted to collect a set of 3B pipes and the adapter plates and bolts a fit a new core. I lost my original one a while back..

Still trying the stop the water getting in, I've raised the windows a couple of mm both sides.

While I had the door cards off I've fitted some completely pointless but lovely carbon trim thats been sitting in the garage for a few months

I've had a reply from Sebastian Funk at Audi tradition about the rubber door trims 56 quid for the 3. Will order tomorrow, still need the missing one..

I've now got a couple of second hand 3B oil coolers and pipes, hoping to make up a decent set out of them, swapping back from ABYtype cooler.

Also bought an exhaust system so my low milage 034 full turbo back 3" coupe system will be up for sale soon!

If I've finally sorted the water ingress (not holding my breath on this one ) then I'll put the carpet back in with the new sound deadening.

Opening rear windows still to be fitted.
