I've only gone and done it again _

[Sat90]

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 etc

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 possible

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 year

Exceptional. Well played sir. Well played.

At least it helps fill out my collection, I now have an 80, a 90 and now a 100

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?

ManOpener said:

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The coolant hose is obsolete from Audi which wasn't a surprise.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.

Did you end up scraping this Satnam?

No ya auld git :P

Got 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

[Sat90]

Yeah, the scrappage scheme was a pisser. I'm doing my bit to save them though. I have an 80, 90 and now this. Looking for an older 100 saloon and a 200 within the next few years once I have room to store them all.

I really want an S2 Avant, but they've appreciated to a ridiculous level over the last 3 or so years. I nearly bought a ropey but perfectly servicable coupé for £2,800 back in about 2011- now you see cars advertised as "spares or repair" for double that!
