Having owned a 80tdi Avant in the early 2000’s and a RS2 in 2007 ( which I sold! ) was looking for an estate but something different, live in northern Spain now and its not like the UK where as far as cars are concerned, buying and selling is long process..
No way was another RS2 in the affordability range, but I saw this, left it for a month and then went to see it thinking it was not going to be anything special
How wrong I was...the previous owner is a real fanatic who doesnt do things by halves, so heres the spec:
1994 Audi 80 Avant
Ok, now the part that makes this tdi Avant a little different
Its fitted with an A4 low mileage engine and gearbox (80k miles), new PD130 turbo, larger injectors, custom remap, BMW 330d intercooler ( fits snugly in bumper) all liquids and pipes renewed ...so now its pulling 150hp. Ok, its no S2, but its no 80tdi either...drives fantastic and on the motorway, will sit at a 100 all day...at 90 is only pulling 2,500 revs, its damn good on the diesel, over 40 in town.
Dont like the “RS2” badge on the back, but will live with it for now...just enjoying it until I get the urge for a change, will be up for sale next year...
