Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro

[RobClubley]

Out in the wild!
After 100km or so of general driving the fuel gauge seems to have settled to a consistent reading, about 10l less than the actual amount but as long as it stays consistent that's fine by me.

[le mans]

That?s good news Rob. Do you think they might calibrate the sensor like that so that ?useable? fuel is measured with the last 10L a reserve?

[RobClubley]

Could be yes - it has always read that way - before I pulled out the tank it was flashing E and there was about 12l in the tank.

[McDoof]

Sounds about right for an 80s car. I seem to remember my MK2s having a tank that was also about 10l bigger than the capacity stated in the manual. I was always told this was done so that you never ran the tank dry and ended up picking up all the crap at the bottom of the tank.

Must be a good feeling to have the car mobile again and hopefully, reliable at last.

Heck yeah!
I just plan to use it as much as possible now. Next mission is the Gumboot Rally in September - 1500km of driving in one weekend.
Really looking forward to that one.

Love my red leather!

I really do admire your bravery Rob, whenever I take my car out i seek out the most remote parking spot. Good for both my physical and mental health

I do that too when I can but I have made the decision not to be precious about this car even though it's obviously special to me and in general.

In the end it's a car and it needs to be driven and used, or what's the point of owning it?

So I have decided to accept that it will get stone chips etc. They'll still bother me of course but I will decide to be chill about it
