Greg_S S2 Coupe 20+ years going strong

[SteveH]

I used 15psi from a spare tyre on my lads S3 and it worked perfectly. I've used 20 psi + on the S2 without issues. Some cars can blow master cylinder seals if you use too high a pressure, but you should be fine with S2 and a sensible amount.

[Greg_S]

That's good enough for me, I read a couple of reviews online saying to watch out having too much pressure in your spare, what do you normally use?

Eezibleed works exceptionally well on our vehicles.

A little more progress tonight, a1 rally sport replaced the piston and seal on the sticking one on my ap caliper. Got it refitted tonight. But I couldn't find the fitting book for the ap kit so I couldn't find the torque setting for the caliper to carrier bolts. Anyone know? I'm going to get in touch with ap direct as the manual on their site says to refer to the vehicle specific manual. I lost most of the evening to trying to find the manual.

I need to change the brake fluid now aswell. Any recommendations on brake bleeding kits? I've been looking at the gunson ezbleed but not sure of what is best to go for?

Also looking at what paint to use on the chassis again, the por15 I did about 8 years ago needs redoing again so in two minds on what to use this time, any suggestions?

[Greg_S]

Well I've finally managed to get an hour to myself and some time to start jobs on the car for a little while. Got out there tonight and removed the left calipers ready to get one of the pistons and seals replaced and started to tidy up a few bits of surface rust.

I need to get the rim of the arch treated and sprayed, any advice on removing the wing?

[Greg_S]

I haven't ordered them yet as the tradition shop is shockingly bad for search. I'm going to be ordering the door rubbers that go in the corner of the door cards on the coupe amongst other parts. It's been 5 years since I rebuilt the engine last and the cambelt needs to be done before I can put back in the road. I fitted an rs2 water pump at the time so need the rs2 belt that can only be sourced from tradition now. I don't think the ABY belt is compatible because of this. Ridiculously from tps all you can buy is the crank bolt and you can't get the washer for the crank from tps or Audi tradition

Greg sounds like your doing a great job with your S2 mate I might sound a bit daft here but which seals have you ordered and how much were they if you don't mind me asking? Thanks

[Greg_S]

Coupe door seals to be ordered. The ones in the door card and in the pillar.

Ive been fighting with Audi tradition again, it is a horrific site to use, but it does save your cart at least. I still cant find the crank washer anywhere at present.

I replaced the washer when the cambelt was done last, so looks like I will need to make sure its clean and reuse it. Almost finished on my kitchen now and started a new job a couple of months ago so my time for everything else has been quite limited lately. I have been gradually accumulating a few parts in preparation though.

[Greg_S]

Pm on its way over. I'm going to be ordering a few bits from tradition so if anyone else wants to add a few items and save on postage let me know

Greg, I have a locking tool you can borrow
Drop me a PM

Seems to be common practice to fit a new lower toothed pulley as a lot of them seem to break the keyway if re-used.
You can get a steel one off Chef and never worry about it again [emoji41]

Yeah I forgot to list that, I'm going get one from chef to be on the safe side

Just sorting out bits ready to change the cambelt.

Does anyone have a locking tool that I can borrow?

Also searching around for bits. Is there a xref part number for the RS2 timing belt or is it from audi tradition only now?

Also the crank bolt and the diamond washer I need to get, didnt have the part number for the washer?

The idler and water pump have covered less than 1500 miles since they were last changed so will be leaving those be.

RS2 grill for life

Looks loads nicer with the stock elipsoids in Greg

[Greg_S]

That's true, hadn't really considered. Changing the grille back. I will get hold of another standard grille soon so I have the option
