From Audi 100 to urS4 in a week

As above, I would be tempted to fit a known good coil in.

Why not, for now, solder in a known good coil?

I know what u mean,but with upgradet coils life will be much easyer

I know, I would've done it in summer anyways, so it's just brought forwards a bit.


Also, TPS is bad. At WOT it should be 3600ohm across pin 2 and 3, but it goes upto 1900ohms and then nothing(infinity) so that would explain why it won't go past 4k on motorway. Luckily I have several TPS senors from my old V6, so no spendings there.

I would say thats a most to do on our cars

It is yes, but money is tight at the moment.

All 5 coils packed up? No way!

Just 5th one, not all.

When idling, it works occasionally, but once it's under load it doesn't work at all. Came out the corner, accelerated, worked for a bit and then felt it give up.

That time has come, coils have given up on me. Swapped out POS for working ones, nothing, checked injectors, they're all good.

So obvious route is TFSI/FSI coil conversion, already bought the harness so just coils left.

Not sure if I should be happy or sad.

Came across shell bearings at a really good price on ebay (item number: 271136024473 and 271178759709)? Any good?

Do i need to say "i told you so"?

Thats a big about turn Janis! I think from now on i am going to be ignore all the cars for sale as a lot on this forum aren't really...... The adverts are just for laughs.

Just had one of those moments I thought about stuff I've done to already to make it like I want it, it would be shame to just sell it. Might need to drive less, might need to say no to some things, but I'll get there eventually.

When I was writing off my A100 for this, I didn't have that "I'm doing the wrong thing" feeling, but for this one, that "I'm doing the wrong thing" feeling was there, I mean in my face going "You're an idiot!"

We'll see if I made the right choice or not i guess.

I am glad u decide to keep it Janis

Me too.

I would expect the water temp to be pretty close to ambient air temp if the car has been stood all night.

Well, it was 3 degrees C outside, and it showed 6 degrees C for coolant, pretty close...or not close enough?
