Help!

[phillheth]

Hello all,

I am now the proud owner of my first ever S2.

unfortunately, she's not in a terribly good way.

(good thing i got it for a grand)

this is the only photo i have so far, it's rubbish i know, but if you look carefully, you'll notice there are no bits of trim under the door on the side.

i keep referring to them as skirts, but perhaps that is not the correct term for them.

the reason it's missing is due to the hideous bodykit that was once on this car.



can anyone clear up what parts i need on the side to cover up the metal?

a part number would be v handy.

thanks all

I just gave a pair of them away on sunday, they are the lower door trims and there is part numbers on here, looks like yours have been colour coded.

Just need some stock bumpers and wheels and it should be a lovely car. Welcome and need more pics

[phillheth]

cheers for the info, ive got the bumpers ready to be sent over courtesy of Le S2 Audi. i was thinking of putting on some rs4's , the inside needs a serious valet. it's a bit of a barn find, been sat for a good year or so i think

[Acidburn]

Get some more pics up, can let you know if that you need to look at anything else. Good cars once sorted and getting rare now. Would love to see it with some s8's on it.

[phillheth]

Ken - shame you didn't live closer, always happy to help out. Lol seem to be able to work on other people's cars quickly/fine but when it comes to my projects I run out of time.

Pity Too... Would love to have a gander at your UR...

But thats sods law never having enough time... & When you do have time you have no money for the bits you wanna do....

[Acidburn]

the ur's still under the dust sheet, I seriously need to get cracking on it.

Had a bit more time to meddle with the car today and take a few more snaps.
have some new concerns too.

there is a river of hydraulic fluid pissing out of what i think is the power steering pump (pictured below), im hoping thats just a seal or 'o' ring or something.
also the car makes a horrible noise when steering.

secondly, it's quite smokey, white smoke though not dark, and it doesnt smell of oil, and it had been sat around for a while.

third it makes a loud slamming noise when you accelerate hard, or lift off sharply (the bloke i bought it from said it needs a bush at the back somewhere.

fourth, the intercooler seems to be spitting out water or some fluid from that loose bit on the right, it looks like its dropped down slightly. not sure what's going on there. (pic below.)

sorry the pics are all massive

[Jamo]

Can you please resize the pics they are too big, thanks

Get a 2nd hand PAS pump, from experience once the o-ring goes the PAS aint the same even after replacement.

I replaced that seal on my old pump twice, got a new 2nd hand pump problem sorted

[Acidburn]

use a photobucket account to host the pictures - they auto re-size.

power steering pump - either new pump or new cross head screw from the top (think I have one still in the bag somewhere)

diff noise - most likely the big bush at the rear

intercooler leak - do a search for mark h mod

the above are all not too bad to sort, not the worst by far.

bodywork looks like it will take a bit longer but tbh that ain't too bad and easily sortable.

[Acidburn]

Regarding the smoke - its most likely what all 3b's do if they've stood long, especially if they have a full stainless.
