hey folks

[Vinny]

I've now owned my 2.2 10v 1990 Quattro coupe for about three weeks and am totally in love with it, I had a few niggles at first rear lights leaking in which was sorted out by a kind forum member who was selling some rear light seal, I even built a car port on the side of the house so now my baby will never be wet again .I am in desperate need of a towing eye cover to complete the car and as I have found Dr Livingston would be easier to find, so to get to the point I have just been looking through my documents and it says on them turbo coupe does this mean my car use to have a turbo fitted anyone any clues? ?

In a word NO - a lot of them if not all, were wrongly registered when new (Audi UK to blame??)

[Vinny]

Cheers so would it be a major job fitting a turbo would working loom etc need changed?

It would be uneconomical for the return on a n/a lump, given the availability of 20v turbo lumps to drop straight in. But if you want a turbo in fairness you may as well just sell it and buy an S2 to start with. (Says he who has done exactly the opposite )

I have had a couple of 10v CQ's in the past and both were reg'd as Turbo's on the reg document. Clearly both were not as continental plate movement travels faster. I do miss the first one though. It was the most reliable, hard wearing car ever. Sold to a fireman in Coventry. Shame, biggest automotive regret I reckon. Keep the 10v and buy an S2 anyway. I would deffo consider a CQ for a daily driver if I could justify the fuel cost. Both of mine were red too (well the 2nd one was more of a pinkish colour)

Thanks for reply s guys on my documents the first registered keeper was daily telegraph so must have been a reps car, and reg is g***kvv anyone got any history for me.hay error 404 can totally uunderstand you doing the opposite I deffo couldn't sell it totally attached into it now, I am maybe just being greedy wanting more power, totally love the cars unieqe sound I've had the car three weeks and never had the radio on yet it has a overflow stainless backbone on it to sweetest sound...

[Vinny]

I ment powerflow stainless steel backbox and it is the sweetest sound ...

stick an MC2 10VT from a 200/100 turbo! it's much more cheap than any 20VT. Maybe having the complete front clip of the donor car you can exchange all the needed bits! Both are K-Jet so no complicated stuff.... if I am not wrong!!! it could be a very interesting swap

[Cottis]

Nice reg. I think the engine code is kv from memory. Very fitting. Keep it n/a as they sound so good

[Vinny]

Thanks for replys folks much appreciated what's n/a mean I'm a bit thick when it comes to abbreviations and what's the mc2 ? Also forgot round mention before the heater blower only works on full and no 1st and second settings? ...

[benntenn67]

NA is engine code - the heater blower problem = will either be;
1) switch
2) relay
3) fuse
4) wires
5) resistor pack

[Vinny]

Cheers benntenn really confused now someone put earlier the code was kv thanks for blower advice ..oh and what's an mc2 ?

[benntenn67]

lol - yeah Audis are confusing (try working out S4 is/was an A6 ) anyway AFAIK the MC-2 is the 10v turbo engine fitted to the Audi 200

[Vinny]

So now in my mind I have a kv n/a that's lacking a turbo, I will be bald on a week with all the head scratching that's going on .lol..

Ps bits I have grasped so far I have a 2.2 10v 5 cylinder ... I think! !!!

Are the engines different that have turbo s fitted so there for fitting a turbo would be unessasary strain on the engine ...

[K Simmonds]

Right,

NA = Naturally aspirated, ie- not turbo or super charged.

KV = Your existing engine code. Which is a 2.2 five cylinder 10V NA motor.

MC2 = 2.2 five cylinder 10V turbo charged engine found in Audi 100's and possibly 200's.
