Just taking the opportunity to say hello. I've just bought my first S2 a 1992 panther black 3b engined coupe with full black leather with 140,000 and a very extensive history.
A friend had an avant years ago and i drove it round the ring years ago. I always said I'd own one myself.
I intend to build what is a very good example into an excellent one and keep it standard well a little oem+.
I've already replaced several dash bulbs,cleaned up the slight speedo peel snagging the speed ( horrible sensation not knowing your speed)
It has a a habit of cutting power violently at 5500 rpm. Vag com lists a MAP sensor fault which as i have already found a massive hole in crankcase breather. ( Anyone know where to get one?) £55 from Audi but no stock so huge wait and may not get one anyway. I think is due to vac leaks.
I also found vac pipe from FPR to inlet mani ripped in two. Replaced.
Cleaned out ISV and certainly idles better. I hope when crankcase pipe replaced it will be spot on.
The next job is to replace the triangular gaskets from the "accordian" to downpipe the lower one is leaking terribly.
THe other immediate item to address is the brake warning going off on cold start. I've read this can be the brake accumulator...
Where do you guys and girls get your parts from. I use my local VW dealers as the parts guy is mate and bends over backwards to source bits. However given the age he thinks a lot of parts will be obselete.
