From Audi 100 to urS4 in a week

[geneandbolly]

that's an absolute belter, janis!! the silver and red contrast is about as good as it gets





fingers crossed you get it fired up soon..

[geneandbolly]

I got my uni bursary so I just thought "why not"?

[UrS4boy]

for once, you're actually wrong about something, prof! they show up fine this end. perhaps the snow is fogging your vision over there??!

Well they were NOT showing up. Had the same issue this AM on IrishS2s S2 avant refurb thread. Both on IE9 and Firefox. 10 minutes later, everything is fine (for now).

And as for snow, I guess you don't know much about Vancouver BC or Canada's size and diversity. While the east coast and Ontario and Quebec have been pummelled with snow this winter, in Vancouver we have green grass (snowed once this winter), the daffodills and crocuses are up, some cherry and plum trees are in bloom and it was clear blue sunny skies and 14C here yesterday.

Hatch spoiler is OE part. Had one on mine too when I bought it. I will take many many pictures tomorrow/Sunday

Still hoping for hatch spoiler photos because I have never seen a C4 hatch spoiler without a third brake light.

Thanks for PMing me the PN of the spoiler. 4A9827933D. It is a spoiler for an UrS4 avant with no third brake light. - I did not know that such a thing existed.

So know I have learned that the UrS4 avant hatches came in three varieties:

1. The non-spoiler hatch with no provision for a spoiler: 4A9827023AA (this is mine on my 94 S4 V8 avant)

2. A spoiler hatch 4A9827023T, with non-third brake light spoiler, 4A9827933D, up to VIN PN 018000. This is yours, definitely for the red 92 avant and I am therefore guessing the VIN of the grey 93 avant is << PN 018000.

3. A spoiler hatch 4A9827023T (same as 2 above) but with third brake light spoiler, 4A9827933E (which is also the C4 A6/UrS6 and S6plus spoiler) , after VIN PN 018001.

Thanks. (can't wait for the photos)

Very timely,your not wrong there John.Yesterday what happened? I thought your were going to give at least a little loud peddle for Oliver.He likes a 5CYL roar. Seriously he does Still sounded nice though.

Er yeah it was a bit dodgy in your road there, cars parked all down both sides and then someone pulled out of a driveway, also there was a load of stuff clanking about in the back and a 7A flywheel in a plastic bag right next to that lovely pristine S8 wheel! Discretion seemed the better part of valour!

[newsh]

So Janis, does it run then?

[hunker7]

It does not, half way through fitting new fuel lines, hopefully will be on Tuesday

[hunker7]

Power problems might not be down to ECU, but fuel economy is, even driving it very very heavy footed( through rev range in 2nd/3rd) it didn't go below 17mpg, was up to 18.5mpg by the time I got ask home.

So things to check?
I will open the fuel tank, as I've been there many times, maybe some hose is squashed somewhere.

If that's okay, will get it to garage to check pressure in fuel rail (what it should be btw? 3bar? )

Could it be pressure regulator?

What else?

Fuel Pressure Regulator Info

If that's okay, will get it to garage to check pressure in fuel rail (what it should be btw? 3bar? ) Could it be pressure regulator?

Your AAN has a 4 bar pressure regulator. This means that there needs to be 4Bar plus boost (or minus vacuum) in the fuel rail at all times. So less than 4 Bar at idle and 5 Bar when you have 1 Bar of boost (about 2.0 Bar absolute on the digital OE boost gauge).

Here is some reading for you:

I just remembered, I fitted pressure regulator from my A100, part number is 078133534A, could that be the issue here?

078133534A was superceded to 078133534C in 1998 but both were 4 Bar fuel pressure regulators so, in theory, that is not the issue (but I said *theory*)

Here it says "May Fit" the AAN
