My 1.8t CQ - 2 engines later....

Out of interest couldn't you have used oem mounts from the n/a 1.8 20v b4 cabriolets ?

Or are they different ?

Great project

Gav

the oem b4 cabrio mounts work in the b4s equipped with the V6 engine, in a 5 cylinder car the mounts are in different places.

those mounts are what i used for my conversion in a b4 v6 limo:


You can see there are mounting points for the bolt on style engine mounts, a lot different from the 5 cylinder stuff:
6 cylinder mounts:

It is nice having an obd2 port and an ecu that you can log data with.

Is that radiator keeping the temps down enough? What did you do for a coolant sensor? Mine runs to the stock dash but reads like an A4 when warmed up (gauge needle is vertical).

Its 86*F outside right now. At idle the car holds steady at 202*F. Cruising its around 195*F.



Thanks Gav


Tonight it will get new trans fluid

is it reading to your dash gauge? are you using a stock CQ cluster? or something else?

[dspl1236]

i do not have the cluster or center gauges hooked up yet. I have been monitoring via vagcom.

I had a great time for the 7th year in a row at H2oI.

I was super surprised to take a 2nd place in Audi Wild this year. Audi built the car... I built the engine bay.
