Greg_S S2 Coupe 20+ years going strong

Keep up the good work Greg. Some pics would be nice, as we've not seen your motor in years.

After getting the forum done I managed to get a few minutes to work on the s2. Fixed the horn as it randomly stopped working, it was a poor connection on the steering ring and changed the blown bulbs on heater dials and oil pressure gauge. The dab radio has decided it has no signal since doing the heater matrix, it has to wait as the daily decided not to start and turns out my lad has been turning the interior lights on in the back of the car and draining the battery. Fortunately the battery out of the s2 fits straight in and bulbs have now been removed from the back of the car to stop it happening again.

im hoping the battery will charge ok and I'll get the s2 running again then.

New dash bulbs ordered and utility room moving forward. Annoyingly fractured copper elbow changing a rad so go that to sort out now. Reckon a week or so before plastering and then get some time to work on the car

I just painted ours a couple of nights ago, measuring up for a couple of cabinets and counter top, plumbed in hot feed so we can fit a sink too...

All mod cons getting a sink in there.

Thanks newish, I seem to remember error404 opposite but wanted to check. I think that's how it is at the min.

Did you find an answer to this Greg, guessing I'll have the same question when it comes round to timing up the RS2!

Sorted all the bathrooms yet? Just finished the final one, got delayed after a spur of the moment loft conversion which took up half of last year. Now it's definitely time for focus on the garage and cars

Bathrooms all done, been nearly 2 years believe it or not. Utility room is current project. Loft conversion is no small undertaking either. Plan is once the utility is done and the boss is appeased I can get back to cars. Had a run out last night which was good but also found that since doing the heater matrix a couple of bulbs have gone on the dials for heater and oil pressure so need to get some new bulbs.

Can anyone tell me which bulbs I need for the dials and heater controls?

A small update as I have mostly been collecting parts recently and recovering. I ordered some fuchs titan from opieoils and some filters, unfortunately the filters werent compatible and opieoils have been helpful with returning them which is good.

On another note I have a question when fitting the cambelt and changing it over. I have the RS2 belt fitted and it is a half tooth out on the cam cover when it all lines up, now the questions is should I line it up so the cam sprocket mark is 1/2 a tooth towards the turbo side or 1/2 tooth towards the rad side?

Not much progress since my last update as I had a cycling accident a few weeks ago. Ive got the timing belt now for renewal thanks to Steve for ordering on Audi Tradition and various other bits to tidy the car up.

Also ordered new oil and filters from opie oils and new PAS and Alternator belts along with a massive breaker bar for the crank bolt.

Should be able to start back on the car in a couple of weeks once I have recovered some more. Before I had the bump I cleaned the interior carpets and mats but have the seats and headlining to do yet.

I'm going to refit the original one I have now back in and tidy up its fitting for now and i'lol keep an eye out. I made the mistake of fitting dash back in before the duct so I've made life a bit more awkward for me

Sorry I didn't have part numbers, everything is tucked away behind the dash. Pretty sure I got my complete heater box off someone on here, maybe Acidburn. Think it was from a non aircon V6 coupe..
Did you get another duct in the end or have you put the original back in?
