I've only gone and done it again _
Discussion
Bought this at the weekend, 2.2 Quattro, full leather, climate control, cruise control, massive history file, rebuilt engine
Picked it up, was driving home and just coming off the A66, the water temp spiked, then the oil temp spiked shortly after. I had no option but to limp it to Southwaite services where it then cut out and wouldn't start. I opened the bonnet and it appears a coolant hose burst and was pissing coolant out everywhere. Waited 6 hours for the AA to recover it home and now it's sitting on my driveway dripping water, oil, petrol, blood and other bodily fluids....
And there it will sit until I figure out what to do with it

Shed-tasic start to ownership 
Tell me about it, I was hoping to have it running and ready for workhorse duties etcW00DY said:
Love these and a turbo conversion would be awesome.
Needs silver wheels.
The wheels will be getting replaced with 17" BBS RK502s in champagne silver with silver barrels as soon as it's fixed. The turbo would be amazing but want to keep it original as possibleNeeds silver wheels.

At least it wasn't expensive...... was it?
Wasn't too expensive but it was the only 2.2 Quattro avant for sale in the country I've seen all yearaka_kerrly said:
That's brilliant.
Thanking you muchly S10GTA said:
Exceptional. Well played sir. Well played.
At least it helps fill out my collection, I now have an 80, a 90 and now a 100ManOpener said:
Perfect excuse to drop a 2.2 Turbo (3B/ABY/AAN) from an Audi S2, S4 or S6 in...

We've all been there!
Should be straightforward to chuck a pokier VAG lump of some description in there?

The 3B/ABY/AAN 2.2 Turbo is the same basic block, albeit with 4v heads and a turbo. That and the earlier 10v I5 turbo should drop in without too much difficulty.
Yeah but want to keep it original as possible. I love the old school power delivery (well, when it was running)If money wasn't an issue then I'd be putting a TTRS lump in there
On the plus side, it's just a burst coolant hose so hopefully there's no other damage. The leak may be from one of the fuel lines from the tank so that should be easy to sort as well. Apart from that, it needs a damn good clean

Well....the mystery deepens.
The coolant hose is obsolete from Audi which wasn't a surprise.
The bigger surprise is the fuel tank is severely corroded and wouldn't pass an MOT, which it surprisingly did on the 8th of July this year. So apart from buying a new one from Audi at a cost of £1,017, I'll be finding a 2nd hand part or having it refurbished.

I love these, I had a 2 litre SE Saloon, paid £2395 off a lovely family in Stockport, a lad a work pointed it out in the Auto Trader, it was amazingly cheap and I had a sheddy Golf GTI MK1 at the time and a small baby, so decided to go sensible, made an appointment, got there and the owners wife gave me the keys, went and had a go and was smitten, got back and other people were waiting, the phone was going mad so left a deposit.
My wife was livid at not being asked and having a week to ponder, which is why I end up missing stuff, so had decided that time was of the essence and went for it without approval, anyway she was rattling on about buying ratty old cars, I couldnt pick it up as it snowed heavily and one attempt was thwarted, managed to get it and brought it back and she was amazed at how nice it was, 90k but like new all round, not a mark on it.
Ran it for three or four years and really enjoyed it, removed the cat as it broke and was aH reg so didnt need one, sounded like a Quattro after that, actually pretty nippy for a 2 litre, expected my mates 2 litre 80 to kill it but the 100 was fairly light and the 5 cyl a bit more powerful than the 4 so very little in it, mine had the later dash like this one, lovely, modern and swoopy compared to the old one.
This was, for me Audis finest hour, the 80, 90, 100, 200 and quattro, sort of cool german volvos owned by well to do types and driven considerately, I think that Advert they did that had a bit of an arse saying it "wasnt for him" and hailing a taxi was the turning point where Audis went a bit more mainstream, still great cars but a lot more of an aggressive edge, look at the fornt of this 100 and then the scowling front of a current one, like a cross between a stormtroopers helmet and some heinous Marianas trench dwelling predatory fish.

Did you end up scraping this Satnam?
No ya auld git :PGot the coolant hose fixed and searching for a used tank to get fitted over winter then it'll be all good in the hood
So it's running for now, just a new battery to help with starting and I'll be using it now and then

I can't remember the last time I saw an Audi 100 of this series - where did they all go?
Well a friend of my family was driving past my house one day around 10 years ago in her Audi 100 when flames started under the bonnet. She got out ok but within 5 minutes the car was totally engulfed in flames.So thats how 1 went. No idea what started it or if any others went the same way.
