Title: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on July 22, 2015, 08:39:41 AM
I've just bought my dream car, but it needs a lot of work so this will be my build thread - once I get the car home!!
It was previously owned by VASK member Wilco (Steve) in Taupo.

As I'm a writer for Auto Clique (now DriveLife.co.nz) my build thread will live there - hence the watermarks - but I'll duplicate it here :)

Update: AutoClique forums no longer exist, which is where the images linked from, so I'll find the ones I can elsewhere and edit my posts.

Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on July 22, 2015, 11:33:06 AM
Vehicle mover is booked and paid for - just need to wait for them to sort it out now :)

First job will be to move the Skoda to the car port then clear out my garage a bit to make space.
Then I'll start to strip the car, bag and label everything, take photos etc.
It's going to need it to get a proper idea of how bad the rust really is.
I have to admit I'm feeling somewhat daunted by the prospect as I'm pretty much a self taught mechanic :D
I have a mate who's an ex-mechanic to call on when I'm stuck and several people have already offered help, advice and parts, which is awesome as this will be a learning experience.

This needs to be done on as tight a budget as possible but it needs to be done right.

I want to drive this car, so I'm determined that it won't be in bits too long (let's see how that works out!!)

Small world - especially with these cars in NZ!
I assume she didn't have so much rust then? :D
The next owner was in Tauranga and must have had it near the sea. It hasn't had a WOF for ten years!

no not so much, have a look at the inner sunroof area, always had water come through the sunroof when it rained, believe the sunroof rain gutters were missing when I had it
Think it has a Golf GTi brake master cylinder, courtesy of me

otherwise she never gave me any problems :)

GroupbA2rob it's good you put your hand up.  I haven't really any history apart from it was in Wellington for  a while before I bought it ex Tauranga through a mutual friend.  I've only tidied it a bit and new cambelt, pump and fluids, as you do when one buys a new car.
I reckon Rob will restore it as it deserves.  For me it was always going to be third or fourth in the line behind stuff that is already underway or is a daily driver.
The oil drips in the carport are not from the URQ! 

I'd say good luck but luck is for people without skill.  Deal to it Rob.

Carbs are easy, you just need to know what is involved and what symptoms mean what.

All the best with the project Rob.

I'm itching to get my hands on it now. Vehicle movers collect tomorrow.

I've been tidying my tip of a garage. I appear to have become my dad and hoarded a load of crap. Though I never sacrificed getting the car in there.

Slowly getting there!

So far my shopping list, apart from all new fluids and stuff, is:

Boot gas struts
Sunroof seal
Wheel brace without hand-slicing peeling chrome
Rear brakes (haven't looked at fronts yet)

I have the boot stripped, all knackered speakers gone with associated wiring, back seat and rear cards removed, rear bumper and lights removed.
Mouse removed. :D

Seats and carpets out next then dash for a proper look at that wiring.

I've had a few opportunities to start stripping out the car this week.

Looks like both sides of the boot have had holes cut out and patched.

Holes from towbar!

Towbar wiring attached with scotch locks and not routed through the floor. One less hole I guess!

Its not as bad as I thought it was going to be body wise. You should see some of the rust guys deal with on the UK based GolfMk1 forum.

Im not sure about that ECU. Being a K-Jet would it have an ECU like that? I would have thought it wouldnt have an ECU just like a Mk1 or Mk2 GTI.

Yeah I'm a bit more reassured after having a good poke around. We'll see what's under the carpets soon once I get some more trim out of the way.

Not sure on the ECU - I haven't even looked it the part numbers on it yet :D
Will get to that.

I had a spare hour today so I finished pulling out the carpets. It looks mostly okay apart from the front bit that was still wet and obviously has been leaking somewhere.

The ECU should be under the dashboard, above the drivers side footwell. It's a precarious place, that position can be threatened by water leaking in from the lower corner of the windscreen (one of the most common places for rust on a quattro).

Interesting.  Do you know when it was repainted after a number of repairs?  The left rear quarter panel was pretty rough with an amount of obvious filler..
It was painted outside only, that is, the engine bay wasn't done.  The new paint is a slightly different shade - a bit more red than original.
The car has clearly had a history since it was imported.  It'd be good to fill in a few gaps.

Post by: GroupbA2rob on August 10, 2015, 06:29:50 PM
So I bought it off Rex, around 2000 and had it for approx 1 -2 years "cant recall"
Rex told me "from memory"  that it had a big rear shunt, and one of the rear quarter panels were completely replaced - I believe by the guy who changed the upholstery to red,  had the shunt repaired and sold it to Rex etc.
Also I was told by a panel beater that the roof had been replaced, through a possible roll over, this would have explained the missing sunroof gutter system, as every time it rained I got soaked "the sunroof was down"
Believe I spent approx 8k on mechanical fix ups through Continental Cars Audi, suggest you get in touch with them as they will have the records on what was done.
I sold it not because of the mechanical costs, but because I didnt have anywhere to store it, and do what your doing to it now
Hope this answers some questions for you

Pulled out the rest of the leather trim last night, removed mirrors (which have 1m of wire going to a connector under the dash!)
Repaired the electric window wiring - they didn't work after I pulled out the old alarm wiring. The windows no longer work with the ignition off, which is good! But they both need pulling apart and lubricating as one hardly moves and the other makes bad noises :D

I had a visit from John with some Chemical Guys goodies from Detail Depot.

I spend a few hours today tinkering with the car. I spend some time scraping at various sticky substances on the car. Someone has used silicone sealant as glue in a few places so I've been getting the bulk of that removed.

I also scraped off a load of rock hard epoxy adhesive from the boot lid.

(https://www.vask.org.nz/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdrivelife.co.nz%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F08%2FAudi-UR-Quattro-0170.jpg&hash=7881672fa11e7261ac8ca406650cf004ad7b98f5)

I had a go at some of the greasy mucky stuff but after one go with the diluted Chemical Guys degreaser I realised that rinsing it off was filling up the boot with water so I'll tackle that later I think!


Good news! the rust coloured stuff in the front is actually not rusty - I assume rusty water from somewhere has made it that colour.

Spare parts car should be on its way to me very soon. Booked and paid for car mover today. I see it has electric windows and a sun roof. There are lots of parts on it that I need. Hoping the sunroof seal is good, sunroof drain tubes, some pieces of dash, couple of seals, some trims etc.

It was included in the sale - it's in Steve's paddock at the moment. It's a Coupe GT so shares a lot with the URq. I'll be stripping it as completely as possible so I can re-use parts and retain some for spares. Hoping I can replace a lot of the damaged trims and incorrect screws and bolts on mine. There are loads of things I've taken off and they have two mismatched screws or bolts, so one doesn't quite fit properly.

Wow, Rob! Haven't been to VASK for a while and have just read your rebuild thread from cover to cover....
Respect to you taking on such a project, wish you well and look forward to seeing the completed restoration.
Makes me very grateful to have a rust free 20V in mint condition! Took it out for a short squirt today for the first time in a while as it's had a flat battery that needed a deep recharge kick from another battery then 36 hours on a charger.
From what I remember last time I spoke to Steve at Ellerslie, he'll still have a few coupes in hand!
Audi Tradition can be a good source of parts but everything is Uber expensive, only saving grace is freight ex-Germany is far cheaper than UK. Having a parter spare is a great idea.
Look forward to reading the updates.

So my chassis number has the following paint code:

If I'm not mistaken you own #FA900600.  This would make it an '85 model year quattro in graphite metallic LB7V, WB.

Did you note Factory data label normally located under the trim of the boot lid this will confirm the colour and trim option amongst other build spec. An identical label should have been placed in the inside cover of the original service schedule if it was supplied. Often dealers discarded the schedules of import cars to prevent NZ owners identifying past owners.

That is the right chassis number but according to the data in that link it's Montego Black.
Graphite Metallic is more of a dark grey as far as I can see from pictures I've found online.

There's no label and I have no paperwork. Apparently it had a rear end shunt at some point - looks like it may have had a new boot lid, or the label was removed.

Actually you're right. I'm looking at the 1984b list. I think it must have been manufactured late 84 as it's definitely black not dark grey.

Not sure on timeline. It's booked in for rust and paintwork this month (still thinking about how exactly to pay for that) but after that I want to take my time rebuilding it properly. I'm hoping no more than a year, I'd like it to be less, but costs will be a factor especially as the Mrs is working part time at the moment.
I need to be careful not to get distracted with anything non-essential on the road to getting it warranted and driveable.

Not sure where I found this info but the notes I made before I bought the car are that FA900600 was made between 31/12/84 and 31/01/85 and the engine WR 004829 in the car was built on 30/11/83!  All the colour info I can see says Montego also but not say it's right.

There are rusty holes in both sides - on the driver side in the corner of the back window and the passenger side near the B pillar.
Under the passenger side hole there's rust at the join from wing to floor which goes right through.
Holes rusted around both rear lights
Hole in the A pillar near the passenger door hinge.
Quite bad rust by the sun roof
Surface rust on the rear bumper mount.
About a dozen holes to weld up left by the towbar.
Also filler in the rear corners from a previous repair - no idea what's under there yet!!

There are pics of most of these earlier in this thread.

White wheels - because rallycar.
Anthracite - because more modern.
Black - because 80s and Knight Rider and stuff.
Thoughts?

Almost got the steering rack out. Not sure if the quattro has the same one but it seems like a good thing to save. There's one bolt that looks impossible to get to without dropping the transmission. Bugger.

Same. It came up recently on another forum I'm on where a guy was asking if anyone would like to help his friend pay for his car that was uninsured and caught fire due to badly done electrics. Granted I've driven with no insurance but you can't cry about it and expect others to fix it when things like that happen. No morals these days.

I called into the bodyshop and had a chat. They have the quattro booked in to start work next week and we have a hard deadline of Christmas for completion.
The Skoda's going in next week too for a couple of days to get the front repaired.

All good Rob, I reckon these cars are still stars. Have used mine a lot this year and after parking at the beach, or in town, have young guys (mostly high school students) all over it with lots knowing what it is.

I'm seriously thinking about using as my daily drive and even maybe selling the Skoda to cover some of the costs.

Did I really just say that?

I take the train to work most days and have had regular review cars this year for Autoclique, so the Skoda hasn't had that much use.

I say daily it if it's only the milk run etc followed by the weekend fun that you will all ready be doing.
As you won't really clock up many extra km.
Take the wife's car if you don't like the parking or its raining etc.
I use my mk2 in this manner and feel like it's the weekend as soon as I turn the key.
Only down side is when it's off the road you don't want to have to rush the repair but I have the work van for that.

Picked up the Skoda from repair - they've done a good job. Visited the quattro too. Not started yet but definitely Monday :D
I met PJ at Just Rust today and he showed me a classic Porsche Targa car they're replacing the floor in, and an old Austin where they've fabricated a whole new floor. Good stuff.
Oh and the headlight lenses are done, should get them back soon.

Have a look at the Wurth range of products .
Easy to apply inside box sections using one of those spray outfits with a long flexible tube with a nozzle on the end which spray both a circular spray and a spray out the end ..............totally coats the inside of any enclosed area.
I have used these, first to spray a rust inhibitor and then followed up with a wax to seal the surface

I've spent a lot of time this week adding up the costs and trying to work out how to afford everything and getting pretty stressed out. Wondering if I've taken on too much, worrying about increasing the debt that we've spent the last year trying hard to reduce.

But look at that car. Look at it. It's awesome. It'll be so worth it.

Still considering selling the Skoda and daily driving the Audi when it's done. :D
But I love the Skoda too. Need another garage.

I've been looking at what fluids I need to change and finding out specs and quantities.
Things the internet has told me:

Brake fluid - DOT4 - 4l to flush and bleed
Oil and filter - cheap oil to flush then 5w30 synthetic, 4.5 litres - Steve change the oil and filter when he had it
Fuel filter
Air filter
Coolant flush and change - G13/G12
Power steering fluid - ATF - need to check what colour I have
Gearbox and centre diff Diff oil - Castrol TAF-X or equivalent 2.7 litres
Rear diff - Castrol GL5 Spec diff oil EPX 85w90 2.2 litres (VW garage quoted $98+GST per litre :o )

Also plates
QATRO is available. I kinda like it because it's readable and makes sense to non car people :)

URQ85 seems like the best so far. The main reason I want a pplate is to get the new slimline plates because they look nice.

Probably best to shelve the idea for a while :D
Plus I may have to replace my camera for about the same money as a pplate :D

In other news I got some shinies from 034 Motorsport today.

I think the p/plates are becoming a bit 'tarnished' by the 'undesirables' driving around with them on

This is typical for 'repairs'
My parents had their car repaired after accident damage and later, that was where the rust appeared.
I guess it depends on the  shop doing the work but is not uncommmon from what I have observed

Yes I remember I asked you about them and they quoted me roughly the same per wheel for the same job.

I used a panel beater in Petone, can't remember the company name now but the guy's name is Dave and his number's 566 4816. I haven't done the job, but they did the gloss black paint on my other set of rims and it was $50 per wheel incl sanding down and prep but no repair required. He said factor in another $30-40 per wheel if sanding/filling was needed.

Message Tim as well, he had a set of 19" BBS fixed and powdercoated for less money than your quote at another place in Seaview.

Agree with you there...  To bog and sand is an $80 repair in the hands of the shop apprentice. A reputable shop will avoid this work but out source it to a wheel refurbisher.

I used Arrows wheels in Auckland for two sets of quattro wheels. They acid strip, if necessary weld, machine then paint to the correct code as in Zermatt silver LY7Y.  Returned like new. Was a shame to fit them.!

They quoted me the same when I spoke to them a while back (I went in thinking your 80$).

Not sure if that helps, but they are consistent .

I ended up getting the paint shop that did the whole car to do them at around the same price (maybe slightly cheaper but it was done at the same time as the re-spray).

Hi Rob:

I was once the owner of the black urq you are bringing back to life. 

I purchased it from Rob? in Auckland and used it as a daily driver for a number of years based out of Tauranga.

While I had it I can recall that I replaced the head, injectors, many ignition components (including the ECU - the spare one i gave to Wilco was a bit intermittent), radiators, some hydraulic and vacuum hoses etc... While it's hard to imagine I also pulled out what seemed like kilometers of surplus wiring.  I think it must have had a pretty serious alarm and audio system at some stage.

As alluded to by someone earlier in the thread, it once had a leak from the LHS sunroof area.  This was "fixed" by a panel shop in Tauranga where, from memory, they somehow installed a drain hose that was missing.  They thought the car may have once had a significant accident that necessitated a major roof repair or possibly even roof replacement earlier in its life.           

It's great to see it ended up in good hands and will once again be on the road.  It will be worth the time and effort.

Be sure to get a hold of me if you require anymore history.   

Richard

Post by: RobClubley on January 03, 2016, 10:13:57 PM
Wow you did a fair bit to the engine. It still runs well and is mechanically pretty good. But as you can see from this thread the bodywork has suffered somewhat!
I pulled a load more wiring out. It has had a total closure alarm at one point which was partially still in there. There's still more to tidy up.
Same with the audio. The cones of the speakers in there had all fallen apart.
The sun roof had one standard drain pipe and one non-standard one. I've got some new pipe which I hope will fit into the pillars and I hope to run it right out of the bottom of the car rather than into the A pillars as standard.
The body shop has fixed some pretty bad rust in the sunroof drains too.

If I was the fun police I would recommend holding off on the bling bits till you have the car on the road.

Yes I'm trying to do that :D Not having the car to work on makes me browse the internets and look at things. With the spoiler, it would need painting. And the existing one needs painting....

They have promised me a full 9 days's work starting today.

Looking forward to the promised photos of what's under the front guards.
I'm off work Thursday so I'll call in for a look :D

I like your thinking. But I haven't worked out if I can afford this one yet :D

Apparently there's a red one for sale near me, with no engine.

Rear end now getting sorted out. Many towbar fixing holes to fill. And stripping the underseal has revealed a bodged repair from when the car has been hit in the rear. It was mostly held together with underseal behind the rear arch.

Called for a quick look and saw lots of hammering and smoke and welding going on in my car's boot.

They showed me this and said the rear of my Audi has the worst damage repairs they've ever seen. Multiple bodged repairs covered by lots of underseal to hide it. Lovely.

That's none too pretty
Restorers worst nightmare is earlier bodged repairs.
Years ago I had an R5 and that had 'repairs' consisting of some kind of mastic material that had set into a concrete like mess

It seems I've chosen the right place to fix it though.

The probability is getting higher that the Skoda will have to be sold to pay for the Audi's bodywork.

It does. Factory one was twin outlets. It has some holes in it so Will need repair, maybe replacement.
I'd love to get a Miltek but they're not cheap.

Seriously though, this is when things start getting interesting as it means you will soon be screwing bits back on instead of removing them.

Oh, also, weird thing.
I emailed Audi UK with my chassis number to confirm paint code and apparently the factory in Germany says my car is Zermatt Silver Metallic.
This is puzzling because I've seen every layer of paint on my car and there's no silver in there. So it hasn't has a respray unless it was bare metal, which is highly unlikely.
I'm wondering if this is something to worry about!

Hmmm, interesting.
Still, on the bright side it gives you another colour combination to consider  ;D

Speaking of quattro and wheels, heres an older thread of a VASKers (Jay) ur that ended up with a nice set of rims on it:

The body is definitely going to be Montego Black Metallic.
Wheels I'm currently thinking Zermatt Silver.
Occasionally swinging back to white.

Those in silver will look great with black paintwork
White might be a bit too contrasty and consequently 'in your face' rather than  sophisticated good taste.
I hope I'm not stepping on any toes saying that

Caught up with this just now...... good to see progress, Rob.

Did you decide to can the personalised plate?

If not, I like Bullseye's suggestion of UROOOO, but URQQQQ is available too, which also looks pretty good.

You're either into PP or not. I happen to like them.
I'm constantly getting good feedback on my Amarok plate AMROKN.

Cheers

I was offered AUDI 00 by another VASK member, already made up in Euro plates so I decided to go for that :)

I have a unmanufactured Personalised Plate for on my car "some day" but just cannot bring myself to get them made, as it'd mean relinquishing its original plates. What a sad old beggar I've become😕. I don't particularly like PP's though, - they've got to be either clever or obtuse enough to be a puzzle, or to be accurate (like 280Z on a Nissan Fairlady, not TWOATZ - though that looks kinda funny now I've written it).

18's look good in silver or white to me.

I've never understood why someone would pay so much to put a plate on their car that says what the badges already say.

What size tyres would you use?
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on February 19, 2016, 09:11:59 AM
I'm thinking 225/40R18

235/35R18 are actually closer to the original size but might be a bit on the wide side.

Haha.

I think why those wheels look too big Rob is because those tyres are so small and not wide enough. Get well fitting tyres and it should look fine.

True, perhaps a fatter tyre and pushed out slightly more to sit flush with the guards.

that black car's not too bad...

a downside is the bigger wheels will make your brakes look puny.

:laugh:

about 18mths ago i also had fun with overseas delivery.
i ordered some lp records from the usa.
the box arrived at the delivery agent in pn (nz couriers) but because i used a po box they deemed it undeliverable, despite having my contact ph number on the box, the wankers sent it back to the usa !
i eventually got the order and a full refund from the seller.

At a glance with that black trim the bonnet looks bent!

Called in to Just Rust for a quick chat today but for some reason I didn't take any pics. Not like me I know. The rear of the car looks awesome, all done in black underseal, and the inside of the boot looks fantastic too.

They said they need to put aside a few days and it'll be done.

Also I collected the wheels from DHL - they look great, big, but great :)

Post by: snowtyres on February 26, 2016, 11:36:07 PM
Suggest you do a test fit with the wheels fitted with the tyre size you want to use while your ur is at the panel shop to check the clearance as the guards may have to be 're-rolled' for tyre clearance.

I don't have an exact figure yet but they said it will be less than 10k.
Initial estimate was 4.5-5.5k :D

A similar thing has happened with the total for the project that I hoped to spend to get it on the road.

If the car was originally black, that's what I'd choose.

Otherwise it should be in an original urq colour. Bling something else, not a urq!

If it was me it next choices would be either pearl white or tornado red.

The grey is nice but...................if it were just any car, a colour change is neither here nor there; with a classic such as this, I think that sticking with the original colour is preferable. Just my 2 cents worth.
At the end of the day you are the owner so you can do whatever you like despite everyone elses opinions and quite frankly, whatever colour it is it will be good to have another classic back on the road.

Talking of grey, I went to a vintage and classic car show yesterday and there was a MK 111 Zephyr painted a similar colour to the grey above which had been fitted with a V8, slightly bigger wheels and tyres and the interior redone in black leather exactly as original style.
The whole job had been done so well that you could have walked by and thought it was totally original as everything looked so 'right'.
It was my pick of the show despite several late model Porsches and a Ferrari as someone had made such great job on modifying it.

My vote would be:
- Stay with black
- Forget the pram handle rear spoiler unless you're going to do a sport or rally replica
- 16 or 17 inch wheels max, in silver or white, - black wheels lose their definition, better yet stay original

But that's what I'd vote for me, I'm a tired old b*stard, - you do to it what will make your heart swell when you look at it. The fact alone that you've dragged it out of the grave may do that for you without any aftermarket dress-up.

Oh yes, absolutely itching to get on with it.
No progress in the last couple of weeks, trying not to hassle them too much, but also making sure I keep in contact.
I bought some replacement wheel centre cap bolts from the UK which I think will fit - they're actually from a Renault. But they sent the key without the bolts - doh!

Called in and had a chat today - bonnet is looking like new in black primer now and I've seen the paint, in a tin, looks good :)

They had the bumpers test fitted and there's some more metalwork to do to make them sit properly at the front. There's another repair on the front crash bar area which looked a bit untidy but I was going to leave it as it would be invisible under the grille.

So another day's work to pull that apart and fix it properly.

Oh and the car's no longer running - looks like maybe fuel pump, probably wiring as it has had a pump put on from a different car to get it going and the wiring's not the tidiest. Chances are that got damaged then they fixed the hole in the floor nearby.
I seem to recall Steve telling me about robbing a pump from one of his other cars.

Start with the fuel pump relay. It should have a fuse in it.

Rob the fuel pump wiring is dodgy inside by the battery.  It's the single black(?) wire twisted to a green(?) wire that runs the pump.  Give it a tweak with the ignition on to hear the pump running before trying to crank it over.
It took me quite a while to find it when trying to get the car going originally.  It's just old an needs a tidy up.
You should have no trouble with the pump and filter, both new.  But yes the pump was designed for a CIS 911 so much the same specs for the time I had the car.  There was a good unit on the Coupe GT that I hope you kept!

Thanks mate. I doubt it's the pump, more likely disturbed wiring.

I went to the garage to do some sorting out of the many quattro parts. It has been a long time since I stripped it and I've forgotten where everything is. It's labelled but not sorted.
But I ended up doing something else. The rear plastic COUPE panel from the quattro has some cracks i it, but the one from the donor GT is much better, so I decided I'd use the GT one, then noticed that the quattro one has a fog light. Swapping it over became a two hour job with a Dremel but it's in there.

Got it cut out then realised the GT one was silvered inside.

Just dropped into Just Rust to drop off the fourth wheel, so it's not sitting on the space saver spare. They said the car is booked in for 3 days' work in two weeks, which should be enough to paint and finish!!

I hadn't heard of that, they're on mine. I think they made a few cosmetic changes very early on in the life of the coupe. Being one of the first (built 1981 & first reg new in NZ early 1982) mine has the flat front with four recessed small rectangular headlights which were replaced by the larger flat front single rectangles later that year (for the 1983 model year). This design was replaced again with the larger sloping front rectangles in 1984 (for 1985 model year). Mine also has the large (and vulnerable) indicators fitted in the extreme corners of the front bumpers with a metal guard over them. These were also replaced by Audi when the 4 headlamp design was replaced so are like rocking horse droppings. Am watching some on Ebay, but they are copies and are ?140 ($300) a pair so will continue with tape repairs for now!

Am not sure, but think it was at this second facelift where the dash was changed (from flat rocker switches to cylindrical rotating), and where the standard alloy pattern changed to the more common thin multi-spoke design.

Am guessing (but have always assumed) that after the Coupe was introduced and sales took off Audi very quickly began to use more bits which were common to the Audi 80 on them wherever possible to keep the cost down, as opposed to the early examples which were using trim bits off the much higher priced lower volume quattro.

PJ has been taking too much time trying to get the bumpers perfect, as they have warped with age. I told him they look great now and please make it painted very soon!

Is it the bumper holding it up or are they still doing a few tiny little jobs on it to make it perfect?

Mainly the bumpers - getting them sitting right, and a couple of small jobs like new holes for the sunroof drain tubes.
But that's all done, just need to get them to set a date to paint it :D

Oh and I didn't realise until now that my boot is fiberglass, not metal.
But it still has Waxoyl rust protector sprayed inside!

I'm doing better than a guy on the urq GB Facebook group. His car was at a bodyshop, in primer, two years ago and for some reason he's still waiting to get it back, and now it's not even there. Not a good situation!

Awesome Rob.
Just one thing, is the face where the wheel mounts to the hub meant to have a metal surface?
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on May 20, 2016, 09:01:19 AM
Not sure on the center caps. My feeling is without but we'll see how it looks. Time to buy some locking nuts.
I was thinking the same about the surface where it mates to the hub. Will find out.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: HaNs on May 20, 2016, 09:16:31 AM
Shouldn't paint the mounting face, may result in balance issues
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: 80 Vert on May 20, 2016, 10:00:19 AM
Wont affect balance at all, the "theory" is that paint can crush / wear away over time leaving your wheels loose.
Thats why they suggest never painting the mounting face or the lug holes.
Wheels look GREAT by the way, no center caps!

I'm looking forward to seeing them in sunlight. And of course on the car.

Where should I look to buy locking wheel nuts? Someone like Hyper?

I bought a set of genuine locking nuts from ECS Tuning, they come with neat covers for the bolts. They have a large selection of caps if you want extra in different colours etc

Put rubber on both sets and run whatever you feel like. I personally think the white ones looks awesome.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on June 10, 2016, 08:29:23 PM
I'll certainly keep both sets! Changing things like wheels, and the spoiler are going to split opinions. There will always be the purists who want it put to 100% stock, but it's not going to be truly stock again, the way some things have been changed, like the seats, and the speaker holes.

My plan is to make it look right, and add some mod cons but not in a way that compromises the spirit of the car, it has to be done properly. Anything modern, like an upgraded stereo, will be hidden as much as possible. The Blaupunkt tape deck is going in the dash, for example.

You don't hang about!

Whilst you have all the internal access available, I would shoot some protective oil into the channels/blind panels/hollows.  POR15 do one called SW2 or there is the Wurth one that has the long hose applicator.

Post by: black16v on June 15, 2016, 05:19:44 PM
dubstar is correct, get sum rust proofing into it NOW! Gold Seal is pretty good. But what ever you use do it now. If you have a compressor find a panel shop that uses Gold Seal, see if you can buy about 4 litres and borrow the applicator gun. The applicator has a long nylon tube to get right in cavities.

I have some protective stuff, I'll definitely spray some in the crevices.

I didn't get as much time as I wanted to on my day off work today, but I got the door handles re-fitted, makes it a lot easier to get in now.  :D Of course it took ages, I couldn't get the first one working properly, until I realised a small but critical bit was missing, so I had to dig out the spare one from the GT, then it was all good.

I had to remove the front bumper to re-fit the fog lights and indicators.

(https://www.vask.org.nz/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdrivelife.co.nz%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F06%2FRobs-Audi-urquattro-Project-Rusty-4347.jpg&hash=ccdefd460c140fe8e4af71f8581f76f6181cdf58)

It took ages to get it re-fitted and it was too dark to take a decent pic.

There are cat paw prints on it already, grr.

Also I need to work out how to get all this sticky stuff off. I wish I'd thought about it when the window was out.

To remove the high stop sticker you could try Prepsol or maybe the citrus based De-Sol-It, may have to let it soak to soften.

I have some De-Solv-It. I'm a bit concerned about damaging the heated rear window. I suspect it will take some time and patience to remove.

If its on the glass, you just need acetone (borrow your wifes nail varnish remover!) and don't get it on the paint...
Otherwise I have removed stubborn stickers in the past using a razorblade/Stanley knife blade, but as you say need to be careful around the RWH

Re-fitted the front lights. Mostly because it's nicer to look at. They'll have to come out again to sort the wiring out. There are spare wires too.

Dammit. Didn't notice this before. And the spare from the donor car is wobbly. Hopefully I can make one good one out of the two.

I bought a rear plate frame with a reversing camera built in but I had to cut it down to fit. The screen is in the rear view mirror.
Adding some mod cons in as subtle a way as possible.

What a great start to a Saturday morning, a cuppa tea and my quattro to work on.

http://drivelife.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Robs-Audi-urquattro-Project-Rusty-4367.jpg

Some tidying was done of the driver's side wiring.

(https://www.vask.org.nz/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdrivelife.co.nz%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F07%2FRobs-Audi-urquattro-Project-Rusty-4369.jpg&hash=db4c5715ed9bc4b90237ae7dfe6481583ebf9576)

I couldn't face any more of the tangle under the dash so I started installing the loom for the new central locking.

(https://www.vask.org.nz/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdrivelife.co.nz%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F07%2FRobs-Audi-urquattro-Project-Rusty-4375.jpg&hash=0884f3c73717010366a6913ff347a4b27e30e953)

It's almost long enough.

http://drivelife.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Robs-Audi-urquattro-Project-Rusty-4376-1.jpg

And I got the boot opening actuator installed. There happened to be two holes in the perfect spot.
It's all wired in with the relay in place, but I haven't worked out the fuse box connections yet so no live :D

Have no set timeframe at the moment - we are getting to the time of year where the weather is unsettled and even though the quattro will drive up a ski jump (apparently) I'm thinking August/September could be a go. One issue that really needs to be fixed is getting the wiper motor renovated ::)

No snow on skijumps at the moment anyway, but wipers definitely needed. Asking as I want to book my car in to get the cambelt and hydraulic lifters done, plus several other bits and bizzos, which Qualitat advise can be next week. If you were thinking to go next week I'd delay to join the run 😊

I got the passenger side locking actuator in. Went to do the driver's side one and the part that connects the lock to the mechanism was missing. No idea where I put it, so I pulled one out of the GT spare door, but it was a bit rusty.
So I made a replacement out of one of the spare bits from the locking kit. It took a few more revisions before it worked.

My non-wreck now has the central locking actuators all wired and fitted. Then I distracted myself from the wiring by re-fitting some of the external trim, then swearing copiously at the rear window trims.
No matter how much lube I used I could only get the stiff rod halfway into the crevice.

After nearly three hours of mucking about I got the other sunroof drain in place. I used a coathanger to get a small string in there, used that to pull through a rope, then used that to pull the pipe.
It looks a bit squished on the photo, will check that out.
I'm just about ready to get the head liner installed now, then the sunroof can go in.

Sunroof is in place. It's not quite closing properly so some adjustment is needed, but it works.

Aerial installed

Wiper motor in place. I'm missing one of the rubber washers for under the bolts, no idea where to find one. Any ideas? It's 53mm across, and maybe 0.5mm thick.

No they still need sorting out.
Amusingly I noticed one of my seatbelts has a label on it that reads "Geniune Volvo part"

It has been a year since I bought the ur.

My wife and daughter went to Disney On Ice, so I went to the garage :)

I re-fitted the dash.

(https://www.vask.org.nz/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdrivelife.co.nz%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F08%2FRobs-Audi-quattro-project-rusty4748.jpg&hash=3402c48b76d0f989968842c4e885b781cf05f4dc)

Wipers are on after a trip to the plumbing shop for a rubber washer.

I tested all of the dash illumination and warning light bulbs. One was blown, two were missing.


Then got the stalks and dash in place
(https://www.vask.org.nz/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdrivelife.co.nz%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F08%2FRobs-Audi-quattro-project-rusty4757.jpg&hash=59e6dd789cb2c7e8b2bb726f058181320ce76cf5)

One of the light switches looked a bit worrying. Fortunately the one from the GT was fine.
(https://www.vask.org.nz/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdrivelife.co.nz%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F08%2FRobs-Audi-quattro-project-rusty4758.jpg&hash=2bd56a4b5b43f77fc704a51a257b58791af953e9)

The dash surround needed some work, and some glue, to get the switches in place so while that was setting I fitted the front windows.

The brackets are solid but had surface rust, so I cleaned them up and painted them.

I really should re-fit the battery and start testing this stuff.
Still finding little things to sort out, like the curiously large number of holes leading from the scuttle tray to the cabin.

Also looking at the state of the seatbelts I'm thinking of binning them and buying brand new. Both for looks and safety.
The only think that might make it tricky is that the universal ones all have an eye for a bolt at the bottom, and the quattro ones loop around a metal slidey bar.

Cheaper at least. But I'd rather get it done locally and guarantee fit. Plus get a local warranty. There's a place in Tawa called Kohl Road and Custom who have been around a while and do good work. They were talking about $650 ish to do all carpets including boot.

$650 sounds pretty good. The 20V floorpan is different to the MB and WR (as I discovered when I bought a set of mats from the UK!!)

Will let you know. I have a few more things to do before. I'd like to get the car driveable to get it down there.

Got the seatbelts on Friday so I decided to fit them today. I had to cut new holes in the rear shelf so they'd work properly - wondering if the GT had different holes to the quattro. I binned my original parcel shelf as it had big oval speaker holes in it, and this one was in way better condition. I thought they were identical, but apparently not.

The rear belts it came with - one is a Volvo one but looks identical to the other which has a VAG part number.

That would explain it, I was too lazy to go back into the house and get the key.
I think the hazard relay is buggered - turn them on and I just get a buzzing noise. Haven't investigated that yet.

She tolerates it :) Mainly because she knows how much I love these cars.
She has realised how much it has cost so far though so now she's taking the "La la la not listening " approach to the budget.
Tempted to do that myself.

I ordered a set of tyres for the 18s from the local Bridgestone, as they have the monthly 30% off for buying four sale :)
Turned up this morning with the wheels and they said "Oh sorry we meant to call, they're on back order, no ETA."
Ah well I can wait. These wheel boxes have been in and out of the garage so many times!

Yeah the thought had occurred. That's why I made a new earth connection to the rear lights from an earth point. It's going to be a matter of taking the time to check and trace everything.

I have four days to get it to start again so I can move it out of the way for the house insulation installers.

Well the dash no longer flickers since I ran a new earth to the rear lights!

I re-fitted the door card on the driver's side after testing the window. I even got my daughter to help scrub it clean!


Back to the starting - I fixed the fuel pump - just a dodgy wire joint to the pump.
Still no start though.
Checked the wiring as best I could, looks okay I think. I even tried adding back the dodgy looking loop in the ignition wiring, no joy.
Tried the spare starter switch from the GT. Nope.
Found two blown fuses, changed them, no apparent difference.
But now the radiator fan runs all the time the ignition is on!
Two days to go!
Charging battery again just in case it's that. If not it might be time to investigate the starter itself.

Charging battery again just in case it's that. If not it might be time to investigate the starter itself.

Think I'm missing some script here in order to understand your plight.. The engine won't fire during cranking hence the fuel pump wiring diagnosis or the engine won't turn over on the starter hence the ignition switch swap and battery flat scenario..

Where are you at exactly? Fuel pump circuit or starter circuit delema as the two are independent.

It doesn't crank at all. Not a sausage from the starter motor.
Thinking of running a temporary wire bypassing the lot just to the starter as a work around so I can move the car this one time. I need it running as my drive is sloped on a bend, and carport is up a steep slope, so it wouldn't be safe or practical to push it.

Will have a better look tonight.

Fuel pump was a separate issue. :)

When the circuitry has been through a major upheaval, particularly in your case with the removal of spurious additions made over the years I always think that it pays to check each circuit seperately with a multimeter to ensure continuity and also to check for potential short circuits

Yeah I think you're right, I need to start pulling that mess apart and properly tracing everything. It'll probably be quicker in the longer run.
I was kinda hoping to test everything and hopefully leave some of it alone.

To test starter you can probably just run a jumper lead from your battery to the positive terminal on your starter it should crank and with the ignition turned on should start up?
I'm not sure so get someone else to confirm that it won't fry any thing

It took me ages to get the seat in place, then I realised the new seatbelt was stopping it from going in. So there's some modification to do there.

Tempted to drive it down to Kohl before I do much more, and get the carpet made.

When I fitted the driver's seat I found out that the new seatbelt rubbed as the seat moved. I tried the various brackets that came with the kit but wasn't happy with it, so I popped the new one apart and was happy to find that it bolts together. Next job was to drill out the rivet holding the original one, trim the metal very slightly and attach the new head to the old bracket.

Good news! I drained and re-filled the power steering fluid, and fired up the quattro. It seems to have cured that horrible buzzing noise from the pump. Yay!

I'm now trying to decide what to do next. Tempted to work on the brake lights and indicators then drive it down the road to get a carpet made.
I like the idea of getting the interior all done. It'd help with some of the wiring too, having somewhere to connect it to in the centre console.

Woot!

Just drove my quattro for the first time :) Got into third gear briefly. Speedo reads zero all the time. Steering still noisy. It got a bit damp in the rain and has no passenger window at the moment.

But the best bit is it beeps the horn randomly. Must be the slip ring I modified on the new wheel. Not the best when you're trying to be incognito in a car that's not road legal. But funny :)

I just booked my Duster in at the Kohl's for a new headliner and had a chance to admire your quattro.

What an awesome car and full credit to the work your a doing, it will be stunning when finished.

How awesome does this look? New custom carpets made and fitted by Kohl Rod & Custom Ltd. They've done a fantastic job.

Kohl Rod & Custom have covered the centre console to match the carpets. Can't wait to get it installed and start re-fitting some stuff properly.

Old vs. new window regulators. The new one bolts straight in but the holes to bolt the window to the new one are not in the same place. Some modification required.

The window regulator is finally in. Really stiff going up though. Something needs lubricating or adjusting. Will work it out.

Grabbed half an hour in the garage so I ignored the sticking window and re-fitted the vents and centre console. I'm going to have to stop putting off that wiring soon.

Went for a bit of quattro therapy time and started on the wiring.

It's such an epic tangle with wires crossing and going from one bundle to another that I've given up on the idea of making it look neat. I've un-knotted it as much as I can. It'll be hidden away anyway. So as long as it works and is safe, that's my goal!

I was intending to sort out the diff lock switch but all the guides say I should have a red pipe and I don't. So another thing that has been altered or replaced.
Also the diagram I have doesn't actually say which pipe goes in which hole. I just found this, which should help a lot along with the diagrams.

I created a bit of a problem with the sun visors when I fitted the bigger rear view mirror which contains the screen for the reversing camera. So I asked Kohl Rod & Custom Ltd to modify the visors from the GT donor car, reshaping and re-covering them. They did a lovely job. Problem solved.

Reverse, tail and brake lights working.

Rubbish adhesive supplied with my centre brake light, it fell off as soon as the car moved. Need to make up some sort of bracket for it.

I also started sorting out some power bits for the remote locking. Got it connected to permanent live and the remote locking works. Well the passenger side does, driver's door does nothing and that's the one I've got all the covers fully fitted on. I bet a wire is disconnected.

Boot unlock also does nothing, need to check that.

Traced the right cables for the immobiliser module, just need to wire it in now.

Bit too low profile for lettering in my opinion; what about a discreet decal on the rim of the wheel?

Before the tyres went on, my wheels were coated with CarPro CQuartz DLUX and CQuartz Finest by Finer Details NZ.
They feel smooooth.

I forgot to check the wheel bolts. Will need to buy new ones as the stock ones are a different shape. Doh.
This wheel looks awesome in place :D

Hello Rob
Not sure if you are aware of this but on facebook there is a 'classic-audi' UK based group.
They uploaded a link in the last couple of days about the Audi Legende 2016 quattro meet with hundreds of photos.
Lots of cool photos there.

I spent an hour working on some wiring today, mostly for the alarm/immobiliser. Didn't finish it but it's certainly immobilised as it won't start at all now :D
More to do. Central locking half works, of course the door that doesn't is the one I've put the trims back on. And the boot actuator isn't working either.
I did get the reversing camera fully working, which is cool.
And fitted a replacement handbrake light switch. The original one exploded.
I wish I had more time!

That could have been expensive. After the earthquake last night and when I went to check the garage I found this. Luckily the tyre hit the paint, and the wheel didn't fall on its face. Phew.

Great to see the progress with you WR, I check it out every day.

I need the left hand headlight 'body' just the plastic, not the lens or the reflector parts.
The one that is in my RR has 2 broken mounting attachment parts/clips.
Not sure if you would have one from your 'donor' car but I ask you if you can help.

So impressed at how well this plastic came up, with a single coat. I'll do another coat to get the little bits I missed.

I replaced the wind screen washer tubing at the weekend in the RR.
Check if your WR has 2 Small clips near the bonnet 'vents' that will hold the tubing against the bonnet. If they are there thread the tubing through them for a neater installation and then pass the tube  through the the reinforcing and exit through the smallest hole next to the hinge bracket.  The tube then runs down the top of the mudguard next to the bonnet release cable to the ww pump. (All is then 'hidden')

I hope this helps, I can send some images if you need them

Pics would be helpful yes. Pretty sure I don't have those clips.


I realised when I moved it that something is stopping the car from rolling smoothly, most likely a stuck brake caliper.
Other than that I need to fix the passenger window as it's really stiff in the tracks, put the bottom of the dash back together, and sort out the wiring to the headlights which has been re-done to provide better voltage, but the sidelights don't work, headlights seem to be on full beam only and one foglight only works with full beam, the other works with sidelights or headlights.

Hi Rob if its any consolation or to determine a baseline, all the lights worked okay and correctly.  I didn't play with the wiring or relays that (presumably) Richard installed though - just sorted earths and replaced a couple of bulbs I think.

Yes you need good thighs to push it around - the front left brake caliper sticks. Didn't determine whether it was the caliper or a hose.  Replacing all hoses was a no-brainer anyway so hadn't worried too much about it.  Try new hoses and fluid change first... :)

It's probably my plugging-in of wires that has confused things. :D
New hoses are on the list. I have discs and pads ready to change.

I was really happy to receive my shiny brand new passenger door handle yesterday. I thought I'd pop down to the garage for ten minutes and fit it. 90 minutes later...
It looks the same as the old one but the lock barrel is thinner so I can't swap over my old lock. And it doesn't quite line up properly, so it catches. So it'll have to come off again for adjustment. It's never simple is it?

I bought a new boss for the steering wheel, hoping it would solve my horn-beeping problem, but I have bought the wrong one. Doh. I went back to my modified one and added some screws. Might do the trick.

Also spent another hour trying to sort out the front lights. I worked out the problem with the fogs, they are correct now. There's a dodgy connection on one main beam light which I need to repair, and the sidelights still aren't right but I'm getting there!

Also I was happy to have the loom from the donor GT to use to replace a broken headlight connector.

Sorting electrical gremlins is never easy on an older car as there is so many possibilities of corroded joints etc, even more so if there have been botched mods.

Lights are working well now, except I still only have full beam, no dipped.

Mystery solved! I plugged in the stalk from the GT and got dipped beam. There's an obvious click when pulling it forward which the quattro one doesn't have. Just need to take the steering wheel off again and either fix mine our swap to the spare.

More little things - alarm and remote locking is working and indicators are connected now.

In other news, all lights are now working. I swapped the hazard switch for a spare and the hazards work now, but the indicators still don't flash, just come on solid. I traced a few things and found out a few things it isn't :)
Full/dipped beams are working now too.
I've also sorted out the passenger door handle.

Working on brakes is hard work! Guess which one was stuck on.
List of parts needed is growing. At least one c.v. boot, bump stops. Abs cables maybe, brake lines, and probably hard lines as I think I've damaged one trying to get the brake lines off.

I'm glad to see you addressing the running gear Rob, often people over look the important stuff and instead concentrate on making it look pretty instead.
All of the bushes, brakes, shocks are no doubt in need of replacement. This will be what makes the car feel and drive how it should, keep up the great work you're doing.

Feeling a bit disheartened tonight, got some flare spanners for the brake lines, went down to try them and the nuts are so rounded that the spanners won't even go on.
Then I had a look around under the car and as I was thinking it looked to be in a bit of a depressing state I spotted some rust, which when I poked it turned out to be quite a big hole that was somehow missed during the repairs.
I thought I was close to the point where I might be able to drive the car, but it's nowhere near, and the future holds much more spending. Sigh.

Next steps - carry on stripping out the suspension and brakes, start cleaning thngs up and work out how many more bolts and bushes and parts I need!

Oh and I found someone who can apparently supply replacement OEM ABS looms. Over $600 each and there are four. Pretty sure just the outer insulation is gone so that'll be a repair job :D

Don't feel too bad Rob, remember the cars is 30 years old!!
If it were me I'd drop the lot, pull all of the susp out and start a fresh. Sure there's parts to be bought but a lot of it will be cleaning and painting which come WOF time will make it all worth it.

Yeah and it sat for over ten years, half of that outside.

I think it's more having to admit to myself that it's going to be a lot longer than I hoped. I obviously had my rose tinted specs on when I first looked under there :D
So, I'm resigned to driving a 275,000km Mazda for the foreseeable future.

I am going to pull out the lot, it's the only way to make sure it's right and avoid doing it all again later.

That exhaust looks like it's toast too. This is on my Christmas list but Santa's out of cash this year!!

Hey Rod here is a suggestion for you???The most cost effective performance/handling improvement you can add to any ur quattro is a left foot brace on the transmission tunnel next to the clutch pedal.
This is essential when the quattro is equipped with ?slippery? leather seats as your is.
I made mine of folded aluminium and used 6mm cap screws to attach to 6mm ?nutserts? fitted to the transmission tunnel
I will post some images for you in next few days

Plan is now to strip everything I can from suspension and running gear, assess what I need, buy parts gradually and re-assemble.

Would appear your up for engine mounts here. The offside mount over time gets cooked due to proximity of turbo and exhaust down pipe causing the mount to collapse.  As a result the engine drops and the down pipe generally comes to rest on the front subframe.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on January 01, 2017, 04:29:31 PM
I've already bought new engine mounts, subframe bushes, front rollbar bushes, wishbone bushes, strut top mounts, rear diff mount.
Need to check gearbox mounts, though I might as well just replace them with everything else I'm doing.
Everything's so corroded, I need to suss out what to keep and what to replace. And what I can replace!
Got one strut out at last!

Rear struts are ready to come out but the shafts are rusted into the hubs I think. They're not budging anyway. The fronts came loose with a quick tap. Rears not so much!

The exhaust bolts will need cutting off I think. And I'm buggered if I can get the driver side steering rod ball joint to split.
I haven't tried heating anything yet, though. I'm doing this in 30-60 minute chunks when I can sneak down to the garage :D

So yeah the parts list is growing.
I need to buy some more stands to hold up the gearbox while I remove the subframe. The subframe is in a bit of a state, dented and rusty and filthy. Once that's off I can get a better look at the engine mounts and exhaust/downpipe, none of which look very convincing.
I think the GT subframe was in better condition but I won't know until I compare them whether they're the same part.

Almost all of the the brake lines look pretty corroded. I hope they are possible to sort out without removing the engine!!

I was looking at these last night...

Looks like the shocks are toast. Push them right in and they don't pop out again. Will it ever end?
Anyone have the special tool to remove them?

Thanks. Looks like a set of Konis will be about $1500 landed from the place in Leeds, UK. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

About the same from ECS, but their set of four lists all rears for some reason. The look the same but part numbers are different so I assume the fronts are stiffer to cope with engine weight.

That's a fair bit of rust from one corner's suspension.

Front subframe is off.
I was kinda hoping the GT subframe might be the same as it's in a bit better condition, but as that was a a KV engine car with an auto, the gearbox mounts are different.

Lots more cleaning to do but it's actually in decent condition under all the gunk and oily mess.

I've been doing a bit of online shopping. New lower ball joints, drop links, wheel bearings, gearbox mounts (034 street density performance ones) are on the way.
Shocks will be ordered when I'm a bit closer to needing them. Need to try and spread out my spending :D
And a short shifter kit accidentally fell into my 034 Motorsports basket. On back order though so no idea on ETA.
The dubious milestone of $30k total spend has been passed.
Relatives land in NZ tomorrow, so there probably won't be much progress until Feb.

Takas (slowburn) dropped these off, thanks mate. I don't want the car too low so I'll fit them and see how she sits. Hard to tell when they're not compressed but out of the car they don't look too much lower.

Pipe benders for the brake lines, rear ball joints, suspension dust covers. Need to order shocks soon.

Gearbox mounts and a short shifter kit

They had the right part number but...

Also the ball joints I bought - again supposedly right part number but the top shaft is 1mm smaller. Dammit.

Something's missing here.
I was about to change the engine mount until I realised I can't find any of my 17mm sockets. Time to tidy the garage.

You would have been better off just ordering the entire car in kit form. I looks like you have to replace just about the every single part.

Got a few minutes to do a couple of small jobs.

The easy to get to engine mount is done :)

And pulled the rusty radiator cowl off and slapped some paint on it :)

I reckon that rubber flap might be past it.

Driver side engine mount in place, with rusty nuts :D
It's a bit different to the one that was fitted but it fitted okay so I went with it :D

That looks a lot like a K&N filter. Have I found the first decent part fitted to my car? Needs a clean of course.

While you're looking around, keep a can of CRC or something handy and start squirting those bolts. By the time you want to take them off, they might cooperate.

Sigh. Managed to drop the sealing washer from one of the banjo bolts on the fuel line. Of course it didn't come out of the bottom. Will have to take the airbox back out to look for it.

So instead of doing that I made a rubber flap thingy.

I failed to find a new washer at any local car shops, then I remembered the donor car, and found one on one of the bits. Got it all back together then looked over and noticed this gasket. I used all of the swears.

Ahh bugger, they were linked from Autoclique forum, which is no more, as no-one used it.
I might be able to fix them up from ones I have on FB, or in my articles on DriveLife.

Just do an Ohm continuity test on each one with a multi meter before you install them. The sensors themselves are normally around 1000ohm each.

Front wishbone bushes removed. It went well so I decided to do the rears as well. Yeah they're a bit rusted in.

Removed the drive shaft to clean it up and sort out the CV boots. This might explain why one wasn't attached - the part it's supposed to seal to isn't round!

A box of bits arrived. Swaybar end links (the correct ones this time), Rear tie rods and bump stops.

Looking at shocks now, it seems the fronts are either 50mm or 55mm diameter. Will measure tonight and find out which I have. Bilstein B6 are the ones I'm, going for. I've asked a few NZ suppliers for pricing. I'd like to buy locally but not if there's the 50-300% "being in New Zealand" tax.

Dammit just when I think I've made a decision :D
Also I'm now not sure which I need. The outside of both my front and rear struts - i.e. the bit that the shock cartridge slots into not the shock itself - is 55mm so I assume that's the dimension they're referring to.

Quattroforum.com post from 2010 from a 'local'....bazilNZ....do you know him? I think he had something to do with carbon bits as I recall.

"At the end of the day the question is - are Koni any good for the quattro? - and the answer is absolutely yes, very good. The BOGE are a soggy mess. Night and day between these and Koni. The Bilstein are also very good, but they are very firm and have no adjustment.

This won't help in your decision making either, but it's experience. On my WR 20 yrs ago I had Bilsteins put it, springs too. Was then a really hard ride, slightly too harsh I felt, but better cornering for certain. When it came time for me to have the bushes and shocks replaced in my MB I scoured through quattroforum and the consensus there was Konis are the way to go, so I did. I have set of Konis in now, the ride is harder, no huge improvement. The standard shocks I had in previously felt a lot nicer ride, and the only real improvement seemed to be in turning - it felt as if it was slightly more direct. Suggest doing springs too, at the age of the car. When the suspension work was done on the MB I were told replacing the springs would be pointless. So I didn't, and regret that.

I've seen this setup on a Gen4 Subaru Legacy. It's firm but not bone shaking. It's what I would expect to run on a "fast" street car.

I'm going to go for the Bilsteins. Speed.co.nz can supply them for a very reasonable $1150 delivered. I'm happy with that, knowing there's no mucking about with import duty, and I have a local company to go back to with any issues.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: FFS on March 10, 2017, 05:58:17 PM
I quite liked the Bilsteins, I'm not sure my Konis are set up right, there feels a bit too much upward bounce. I think I've told the story before, but here goes again. I got my Bilsteins in a bunch of stuff for $200 through the old Trade and Exchange magazine. Including brake calipers, discs, stub axles, springs, subframes, plus other bits and pieces. I didn't really know what  were buying, just thought I'd hoover it up while it was available. They seller had bought them for a kit car, and said they'd come from a Treser quattro, of which owner had two. All the suspension parts looked great, clean, almost like new. I stacked them away then one morning driving into Hamilton a stub axle on my car fell out of sorts with the suspension leg. Horrible grinding sounds. I got the car to a Hamilton workshop and said I'd bring the other bits in to see if anything was any good to replace the broken bit. Was it ever, when they saw it they swapped the lot out for mine, minus the subframes. Ride height was dropped with the new springs (from the early WR height to the later WR height), and those Bilsteins were so firm on the road. I eventually sold that urq and some time after sold the remaining suspension bits (to onthebogalot). You are going to enjoy your car, for certain Rob, - a hugely admirable effort on your part.

The Toy Shop Wellington are doing a great job on my struts, having to use some creative methods to get them apart after the wheel bearing refused to shift with 10 tonnes of pressure.
It appears I supplied two correct wheel bearings and two wrong ones. Doh. They're sorting some correct ones out for me.

10 tonnes is surely plenty although I've had to go to 12 or so once on a bearing.  Always makes you jump when it finally lets go.

Got the brake hard lines out from each corner. The front to back one is okay but the connections to the flexis were all rusted and rounded and I had to saw them off.

I've nearly got everything removed now, I need to start putting things back on!
Rear subframe still needs removing, need to buy bushes for it as I only ordered enough for one subframe for some reason!
I moved my jack stands and had to set them higher, then the car felt a bit wobblier than I liked so I moved them back and decided to find a better way to support it. I'm sure it would be fine but I like to make sure it's rock solid before I get under there.

Rob find a set of big wooden blocks - I use what I think was a post from a highway guardrail I found years ago.  Might even be worth going to a post yard to see whats available.  They feel a lot more secure than fully extended stands.  Either that or just have one end of the car raised.

I think I still have some macrocarpa sleeper offcuts somewhere.

First attempt at making a brake hard line. The pipe flaring tool worked well.

Looking good! Can you see the light at the end of the tunnel yet?

I think I see a glimmer.
Trouble is every time I go over a join in the tracks it adds $500 to the amount I've spent :D

That is my current thinking yes, though I won't take it on the track this time.
Trouble is my to-spend list always seems to be hovering around the $4k mark despite giving the credit card quite the hammering this month!

Should have bought a bigger puller.

Made a start on the first of the CV joints - got one degreased and partly re-assembled. I would have done both ends if I'd bought a big enough puller!

I also took the cup thingies off the gearbox, cleaned them up and re-fitted, and moved the jack stands at the back so I can get the rear subframe out for cleanup and new bushes.

Then it's brake lines, sort out the exhaust heat insulation which is hanging off - and have a look under it to check for rustyness.
And I should be able to get the rear fully re-assembled.

Finally got the rear subframe off. It's in decent condition under the muck. Bushes are shot of course.

I thought the subframe was the last part that needed to come off. But I noticed that the fuel line has been rubbing on the rear diff mount and is this close to going through. Better sort that out then!! Imagine filling it up and losing 80l of fuel, not to mention the fire/explosion risk.

This is the fuel line from tank to fuel pump. It has been rubbing the rear sub frame mount The dash gauge told me the tank was just about empty, so I got my five litre container and started to drain the tank. 24 litres and a bit of a spill later...
The whole house still smells of petrol.

I struggled for ages to get these out then remembered I had the capability to make fire. It still took me another hour to shift them. So much rust!

Had a day off work today so I got a few hours with the quattro.
Making brake lines takes ages! Got them all in place now, hopefully I make them properly.

(https://scontent.fakl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17904188_1010845875682375_2522709999747819431_n.jpg?oh=0976f9bf6606069a45e95a57445f7375&oe=5991162C)

Sam was unimpressed.

I also cleaned up the rear subframe and slapped some paint on it.

And the rear wishbones.
(https://scontent.fakl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/17855006_1010846545682308_6041399050173084688_o.jpg?oh=20d76246a058e0ead993aec1f3d2f7c0&oe=5995266F)

Then suddenly it was 3pm and time to pick up the child from school!

I have a new rear mount for the rear diff, but it needs to be pressed in, and three of the bolts holding the bracket on are rounded off and rusted in. Sigh. So the rear diff needs to come off to get it done. Gives me the chance to clean it up I guess.

Picked up my stuff from The Toy Shop Wellington. Various bushings pressed in and out. I had to strip and re-assemble one of the cv joints. It wouldn't move properly because I'd assembled it incorrectly.

Took the brake dust shields off the GT rear beam. I was hoping to use them but they're quite different.

So I ordered a pair of new ones manufactured by Quattro Corner in the UK.
I also finally gave in and ordered a few things from Audi Tradition. Waiting for the call to pay duty on that stuff.

These look more like it! Thanks to speed.co.nz for getting them to me super quickly.

Bit of progress this weekend.
Connected up the brake lines, torqued up the front driveshaft bolts, repaired and fitted the rear left driveshaft, broke off the corroded shielding on the ABS sensors, re-wrapped and re-fitted them, replaced a broken wire to the rear diff, not sure what it does (yet), looked at a few other things and pondered them :D

I thought I'd better clean this out..

That's awesome. I wish I had the time, money and patience to do it to that level.

Last night I decided to put some brake fluid in mine. Got the master cylinder and bias valve bled then went to do the right rear and fluid started leaking from the left rear. I hadn't crimped it properly and it hadn't sealed. So I ended up cutting the end off the hard line and re-crimping it while brake fluid dripped out all over my hands and tools. Got it to seal and did the other side but now I can't get any fluid out of the rear left caliper so I think I may have managed to seal it completely somehow!!
By this time it was 10pm and I was over it so will re-visit that one.

Fitted the new fuel tank to pump hose. Doing it like this seems to make sense and I didn't need to cut it. Need to sort out the clips and stuff to make them better.

Dark tips correct - most like original.
"bit more expensive" is worth avoiding the hassle now with the GST/custom fees that are wacked on.

It's not just GST you have to pay - you have to go through a customs agent and they charge a frickin fee on top.

Are you using a pressure bleeder or doing it the old fashioned way?
I used a pressure bleeder on my Legacy and it made the job really simple even for a 1 man job. No issues with the pedal pressure creating bubbles.

Old-school using the wife to pump pedal and a tube/bottle.

Tried firing it up again with a full battery, it turns over but won't fire. Going to get some more fuel in there as it's pretty much empty in that cavernous tank.

Bleeding the brakes on an Audi ur-quattro

Procedure:

Use DoT 4 specification brake fluid.
Before starting any work, ensure that all brake bleed nipples can be moved.
If at all possible, use proper flare nut spanners on each bleed nipple.
11mm on master cylinder - occasionally 10mm.
9mm on brake proportioning valve (below master cylinder) - flare nut socket useful as space is limited
11mm on each caliper - sometimes 7mm.
Optionally remove the brake light bulbs from the rear light clusters - the current drain is considerable
Depress the brake pedal at least twenty times or until the pedal goes hard. Optionally check that the low hydraulic pressure warning switch (WR - below accumulator, MB/RR - diagonally mounted on brake servo) has closed
Remove cap on brake fluid reservoir. Optionally check that the brake fluid level warning switch in the cap closes - this is now a common failure point and a safety issue. The brake fluid reservoir should NOT be topped up during normal service - the falling level is a good indicator of pad wear and the level alarm will trigger before the pads are completely worn.
If changing fluid completely (every two years) drain brake fluid from reservoir using a syphon (brake fluid is poisonous) or a MityVac pump, open caliper bleed nipples in turn and pump fluid out with brake pedal.
Attach a pressure system such as a VAG 1238/1 or Gunson Eezibleed (2 to 2.5 bar) to the master cylinder reservoir - Note 1
Use either the pedal depressor shipped with the 1238/1 or a broom braced against the driver's headrest to hold the brake pedal depressed.
Bleed the system in the following order:
Master cylinder.
Proportioning valve (check for leaks on the front of the valve).
Rear right caliper.
Rear left caliper.
Front right caliper.
Front left caliper.
At least 500ml of brake fluid must pass down each line.
9mm and 11mm spanners or specialist brake spanners (e.g., Williams Superslim) are required. Recently shipped (2007) calipers sometimes have 7mm bleed nipples. Access to the 9mm bleed nipple on the proportioning valve is restricted. For the Coupe quattro, an 11mm Crowfoot socket is optimal.

Note 1: The technique described above uses a pressure bleeder as documented in Audi's repair guidelines. This not the only and perhaps not even the best way to do it - Audi's aim was to make it a one-man operation to save service costs. However, it is perfectly possible to bleed quattro brakes the conventional way by depressing the pedal with the relevant bleed nipple open, closing the bleed nipple, releasing the brakes and repeating the procedure. This obviously requires an assistant operating either the brake pedal or the bleed nipple.

It's possible to make up a device to save the need for repeated opening and closing of the bleed nipple:

Obtain a 30cm length of thick-walled hose to fit tightly over the bleed nipple
With a very sharp instrument such as a razor blade or scalpel, cut a slit along the length of the tube about 1cm long ending about 1cm from one end of the tube
Block that end of the tube with a screw or bolt
Place the blocked end in a suitable receptacle such as a jam jar
Attach the other end of the tube to the bleed nipple
Open the bleed nipple and pump the brakes slowly, keeping an eye on the brake fluid reservoir level. The slit acts as a one-way valve - when brake fluid is forced down the tube the slit opens to allow it into the jar; when the pressure is released the slit closes and no fluid or air can get back into the system. When sufficient fluid has been forced through (Audi recommend 500ml per caliper) close the bleed nipple.

Yes I've been following that guide. Also have been trying to work out how to bleed the clutch as the bleed nipple is on top of the gearbox just behind the steering rack and is a bugger to get to.

Bit of a frustrating afternoon working on the car today. I realised I can't get the front left wheel to turn so investigated that and found that the brake caliper is stuck on. I thought it was all okay but it looks like I'm going to have to remove it and re-check it.

I removed the bonnet locking pins to clean them up and paint them as they're rusty and have been bothering me.

(https://scontent.fakl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/19143868_1060407977392831_2628961315444985921_o.jpg?oh=f3cf596c6c608d4eca0c05de182c4c0f&oe=59E2EE86)

Then I noticed the power steering fluid all over the place. Bugger. It's slowly weeping from the banjo bolt I removed to drain it when I fixed the anti-vibration mounts on the pressure accumulator thingy. Hardly any has made it to the floor, it's all sitting on various brackets and surfaces in the engine. Need to get some new washers I think, drain it again, clean it and re-seal.

Then I decided to look at the passenger side window. I never did get it closing properly. After some investigation I've declared the aftermarket regulator I bought to be useless.
So I need to either source an OEM regulator (rare as unicorn poo) or try and make one good one from the new motor and original vertical bit.

Brake caliper off again because it's not retracting. I suspect it may be toast. Hope not but lumps of rusty stuff came out with the fluid. And I'm struggling to get the pistons out.

The red in the tray is ATF from my leaky power steering.

Appears Milltek have changed the quattro pattern as the system I have uses the original exhaust mount brackets to secure the muffler. Certainly no drilling of the boot floor required. Also the twin tail pipes are welded in place.  Probably production efficiency and made to be more universal across more model applications.

A new window regulator arrived. Works perfectly. But it's for the wrong side. Bugger.

I took the digital dash apart a bit to find that voltage regulator that I'm told might be the cause of the flickering. Yeah that's beyond my soldering skills. Need to find someone who can help with it.

Also Takas (slowburn) popped around with a G60 caliper for the passenger side. Hero. Got it cleaned up and painted and ready to fit tomorrow.

It's in and goes up and down. Didn't have time to get the glass in and fully test last night.
Need to clean up the window switches internally as they are a bit intermittent.

Some good bits in there - lots of door handles, a brand new chrome trim for one, fuel pump and filters, lots of window switches, couple of (I think) 80 rear window regulators, some fasteners, a few KV engine parts,

Initial diagnosis was:

Quote
Basically a high voltage break down is happening here ether A : the transformers isolation is breaking down at its High operation voltage and sparking over thus showing it to stop or B: the mosfet drivers that switch the high voltage on the circuit are not getting full saturation and failing
Get Electronic
fixing the issue : i would start to replace the Fets (mostfets) first due too them normally being off the shelf components and the eaisist to replace quickly without trying to get the original transformer that would be ncely priority and only made by audi or rather by contract to audi  and in nothing elce so supply would be hard to get.

After a couple of weeks:
Quote
The flickering cause is still undetermined
Possibly won't be able so fix, especially if in the main micro processor
going to try jam in my own Clock signal to run the displays thats the next step
thanks for your patience too !
never expected this one to be such a troublesome unit

the older stuff is usually much more harder to repair
ICs that need replacement are no longer available to change over as parts anymore
were seeing this from about 1997 and below

I've bought a lot off AudiTradition over the years - great if you can actually find the part in their impeccable cataloging system :)
I was shocked when I saw the price on the cluster!!
There was a guy on S2Forum a while ago that had both amber and green clusters.  Maybe try a post on there?

Post by: RobClubley on August 09, 2017, 02:12:36 PM
Yeah their search is bad and it likes to change part numbers that you search for. I found that to my cost when I searched for a RHD part and the search "corrected" it to the equivalent LHD part but the photo was small so I didn't realise.

There are amber clusters on Ebay - for 999 Euro!!

I'll pursue all repair options before I look at replacement. There's a guy in Ireland reckons he can fix it if Get Electronic fail to do so. I'm reluctant to post it that far but if he can fix it it'll be worth the risk.

I still have the GT one. Some modification would be required as there's no speedo cable for the digi dash.
Surely someone in New Zealand must have the skills to repair 80's technology?
The guy in Ireland reckons he might be able to get his hands on another one. That's an option which would probably not be far off the cost of sending + repairing.
If I have to involve him I'll be paying duty and GST and postage on the way in, unless I take a risk and under-insure it.

Repairing the original feels like the best thing to do though.

While I'm waiting for my instrument cluster to come back I've started to think about the stereo. At some point in the past this car had a pretty serious stereo install - for its time - but when I got the car the speakers were falling apart and wiring was a mess so I ripped it all out. So I need to start from scratch wiring in a new stereo. I got an 80s Blaupunkt tape desk with the car, which I hope works!

I'm going to get component speakers for the front doors, and I'm planning to install the tweeters where the tiny factory dash speakers were. I have two speakers with holes drilled like this from the previous tweeter install, and two perfect ones so the design of tweeter I get depends on which I use. I might be able to retain one of the factory speakers just for the voice module when I get that working.

Preserve the factory tape deck so it looks and works as normal
Add Bluetooth music streaming
Provide an amp for my four new speakers
Be invisible in normal use
Provide an output for a second amp and sub when needed

Rob, looking at your red interior pics from much earlier. In your research along the way have you come across the Michelle Mouton Edition coupe quattros? Looks like your urq may have come specced with that interior perhaps? I saw a code sticker on one on the net, it has code 97.

Rob, looking at your red interior pics from much earlier. In your research along the way have you come across the Michelle Mouton Edition coupe quattros? Looks like your urq may have come specced with that interior perhaps? I saw a code sticker on one on the net, it has code 97. Thought I'd mention it as I'd never known of the Michelle Mouton edition cars till yesterday.

I hadn't heard of them! Mine isn't one though - the leather was a custom job done in Wellington about 17 years ago.

I have a few options - a friend of a friend in Wellington is my first option - he apparently does scratch built car dashboards, so we'll see what he can do.

There are a couple of people on the urq Facebook groups who have spare green dashes - price unknown.
Or I could change to an orange one from the later cars - but the two on Ebay are over 900 pounds. Gulp.

Then there are a couple of people I've fired off emails to who are experts on these dashes but one is in UK, the other in Ireland.

So as usual with Rusty there's no cheap or simple option.

It's working! Found someone local who can fix 80s PCBs. (Thanks Fraser for the tip).
There were two main problems, a leaking capacitor and a cracked wire in one ribbon cable. He's going to replace the other capacitors just in case.

Cleaning up the trim that goes below the steering wheel and holds the ECU. There are holes drilled in the underneath where presumably a car phone was once fitted. Seems like a good place to install my bass controller knob. I'm still not sure if I'll install a sub, but it's easier to install the wiring now.

Then I realised I installed the bass knob in the wrong piece. Not sure how I ended up with three different ones! This is the correct one.

There's foam around the edges of the glass vacuum tube displays in the dash to keep dust out, which had turned into a sticky mess. This was my solution.

And the Out of Sight Audio is working! Still waiting on a couple of wires for the tape deck, and my front speakers next week. Then just need to re-bleed the brakes and it's WOF time.

My front speakers have arrived. There's something very exciting about shiny new speakers.

Started on the install. I used my original speakers to mount the tweeters which already had holes drilled in them from a previous install. Not happy with it like this though, especially the passenger side.

Yes they do. Though they should be screwed in from underneath :D
I have two sets - one with the holes drilled in them and one perfect set. I thought I'd try it this way first. I like the idea of the raised base directing the sound towards the passenger compartment.

Bleeding the brakes again. Found two slow leaks on the right side of the car - might explain the squashy pedal.

(https://scontent.fakl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/21949920_1137407323026229_3395371116213546098_o.jpg?oh=f6682f9a077f6a85374b35736ffb556e&oe=5A500036)

Went for a drive around the block. Nothing fell off. Nobody died. Though there were some interesting suspension clunks when entering the angled drive. And the speedo worked for a second then read zero the whole time. Brakes were not great but improving as I went, so starting to bed in I guess. It was very loud! The wife said she heard the whole thing from inside the house.

Still trying to get the speedo to work, last thing I think before WOF time. I located the speed sensor and it has a fair bit of corrosion on the connections. had a go at cleaning it but I was rushing a bit and I don't think I did a good enough job :D
Will extract it tonight if I get chance and clean it properly.

Pulled out the vehicle speed sensor. I think it's busted. There was plenty of gunk and corrosion in the connector but the O-ring is broken on the sensor itself too.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, well, I pulled the other half of the speed sensor out, the above was only half of it! I cleaned it all up more, clicked it together properly and screwed it back in place after testing that the drive part on the driveshaft worked.

So I booked it in for tomorrow morning. Gulp...

I wouldn't be doing ceramic coating.
No question when done (as long as the paint prep is perfect) they are brilliant. They resist swirling and have that "I've just been waxed" look without work.

But you CAN get that look by polishing/waxing - it takes time and work. You can remove swirls with the right tool and polishes. And shed time with your favourite classic isn't really work  :D

The problem with ceramics is that if you plan on keeping the car long term, you will eventually get marks/swirls, and then you have a problem. Because the ceramic is integrated into the paint and extremely hard, refinishing is problematic.

I wouldn't do a classic car in ceramic.
I might do a car I was keeping for less than 2-3 years and I was too busy to wash/wax regularly.

Hi,id avoid the ceramic coating,and stay with natural wax,as the paint needs feeding from the wax(carnauba,bees wax etc..no silicone) the ceramic coating most likely with prevent it....and watch out for sunscreen as it eats into the clear coat!

Steering rod hitting things it shouldn't (it's the LHD one, I thought it fit. bugger)

I have no idea! It's directly below one of the holes in the bodywork so should have been obvious.
I do recall a discussion that we wouldn't fully strip and repaint the underside, but that all the holes needed to be fixed. Maybe they took that to mean ignore the underside and don't check it. I don't know.
It got to the point where I think they wanted it done and out of there despite them having had it for months before starting it.

It will remain a mystery!

Haven't had a lot of time to work on Rusty this weekend but it's back on its wheels with working steering. Plus I picked up this little gadget as the battery seems to be draining itself far too quickly. Might be a worn out battery or something draining it, not sure yet. You can Bluetooth to it from a phone to monitor battery charge.

Rob, you will have to check the standby current draw. Get a digital multimeter and set it to 10A DC scale (DC symbol can look like a straight line with 3 small dashes under it, AC is the sign wave squiggle) and move the red lead to the (10A) jack (or hole). Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery (I would replace that cable for a pre made heavy duty one, it looks dodgy) and connect your multimeter leads in between the battery post and lead. Your reading should be no more than 0.06 amps. The lead may spark and current draw start off high and quickly drop back, this is just capacitors in radios etc charging up.  If the current draw is excessive start pulling fuses with battery power on them until the current draw goes away, then your problem is on that circuit. Maybe first start looking at the accessories that you have fitted. A good one is getting the radio red acc and yellow batt wires around the wrong way.

Thanks for that I will try this when I get some time to tinker. The head unit had permanent/switched lives the wrong way around so I fixed that.
And yes now you mention it, that negative wire is dodgy, will swap it for one of the nice shiny new ones I was looking at the other day.

I think from memory my Ur was pulling 250 mAmps with the ignition off. This is due to the stereo and alarm.
My battery would go flat over a period of a few weeks if not charged too.
I should re check the current draw just to re confirm.

Hard to tell from OEM
Hopefully it works. Test drive on Monday!

As for the battery - it's drawing 0.04-0.06 amps at standby, and in five minutes where all I did was unlock and lock the car a couple of times, test the boot light, and run the interior light it went from 41% to 26% charged. Time for a new one I think!

A little bit more convincing...

Slightly improved weight distribution due to whopping big new battery. Need to work out a way of strapping it down.

i spent ages going around various Super Cheaps and Repcos trying to find a battery with terminals the same way as my existing one then realised when I got home that all I would have needed to do was flip it around and the wires would have reached. What a muppet.

Hey Rob that battery cable looks better. There should be a plastic lip at the bottom of the battery and hopefully a M8 threaded hole in the bottom of the battery box. Most euro's have a plate and bolt to hold the battery down.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on October 29, 2017, 06:19:07 PM
There's nothing to fasten a battery holder on to, for some reason. Might get the body shop to weld on some tags when it's there for that rust repair on the sill.

So the speedo repair didn't work, read zero the whole time. Need to investigate that more.
I've booked the car in for rust repair soon, plus a wheel alignment and re-bleed of the brakes this Saturday. The brakes are really spongy and I've bled them twice. WIll get a pro to do them :D

There seems to be an issue with idling once warmed up, revs drop way down and the car stalls.

Other than that it feels so good to drive it! It makes an amazing noise, steering feels good, it makes me grin :D

On a GT coupe I had I lay on the driveway a whole afternoon, trying to bleed the damn things brakes every which way with so little success I was just about sobbing with the frustration of it in the end. I had never encountered such a vitriole-and-cuss-inducing brake job in my life, and haven't experienced one since. It was a wheel cylinder which I think (from a memory tainted with hate and the red mist of anger) I had put a kit in myself and obviously stuffed up. Pulled, had an expert do the thing. Success. I think you taking it to a brake shop is a good idea. And you now know why!
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: Audidude on November 01, 2017, 12:11:52 PM
I did some reading around the brake system when I had a bad master cylinder in need of replacement. It's bl**dy complicated and is linked to the power steering for some reason! Probably to stop muppets like me playing with it!

This from the UK quattro Network:

"On the MB and RR Audi ur-quattros, a tandem pump provides both steering and brake assist.  The rear part of the pump is a standard power steering pump fed by a translucent header tank.  A small internal hole feeds a small amount of oil into the front section of the pump which uses two tiny pistons driven by an eccentric to supply high pressure hydraulic oil for the brake assist system.  The smaller of the three hoses coming from the pump goes to the brake pressure accumulator which contains a built-in regulator.

etc etc etc"

They could have just copied a good Japper setup, like Honda.

Anyway, I found two reconditioned ones in England and Germany for about $700 landed here, then found an Audi 100 one in US with exact same part no for $150 brand new landed here :)

Got the work done by a Euro specialist in Hamilton - he charged bugger all. He also fixed a leaking clutch master as well.

Perfect brakes now. And I don't have to keep topping up the clutch reservoir.

Going in for wheel alignment, brakes bleeding and exhaust alignment.
I've bled the brakes twice and they're still spongy, time for a pro to do them. Exhaust alignment because them doing it on a ramp is much easier than me laying on my back under the car.

(https://scontent.fakl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/23275494_1167797569987204_1324343015815618836_o.jpg?oh=b96feb7af4abdf38afaa9ddebb6d3f7b&oe=5AA9C251)

You know what Rusty is missing?
Well, a few things but one big one is some doof doof noises. And of course something to make them work, as the Out of Sight Audio device is winging its way back to the US because of a loud hissing noise problem.
Anyway I happen to have a rather nice 10" sub in my garage which I want to install somewhere. Of course anything like this must be reversible, so I got the spare side trim out, from the GT donor car, to work out how it might fit.
There's a big space inside those lovely box flares which really wants to be a bass box :)

Sealed would be much easier to integrate into the car so I'm tempted to go for that. It sounded great in a sealed MDF box in the Skoda :)

Looking at the you would be looking at band pass enclosure for rock. Not really something you can do when you are in a tight spot. Plus you need more space. 0.5 for sealed, 0.75 for vented and lofty full 1ft3 for a bandpass enclosure. I recon just stick with a well insulated sealed enclosure. Unless of course you put in an MDF parcel shelf and cut a hole in that. Infinite baffle. Then you can just slide the original one back in when you want it back to stock. Plus you can mount a pair of 6x9s in there and the amp underneath.
flush mount the lot, then acoustic carpet over the top so it's all invisible when the boot is closed.

In most cars maybe. But the quattro has a metal (structural) parcel shelf, metal behind the seat back and a large fuel tank between the two.

I went with a sealed MDF box in the back of the Skoda because I'm more comfortable working with wood/MDF. Tempted to go the same way here as I'm not sure if I want to get into the mess/fumes/fibres/time of doing a fibreglass enclosure. Given that it will all be hidden from view :D Of course it will weigh more. Hmm.

I did a bit more playing with the sub tonight. I looked into doing a fibreglass enclosure but I really don't want to get into that much mess, fumes and time! So:
Step one - make a CAD template (Cardboard Aided Design, thanks Project Binky!)
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/23593393_1175987025834925_8620444388090947051_o.jpg?oh=278d7d9d29c87c7a860823f0a51f3f9c&oe=5A945D7A)
Step 2, cut a piece of leftover MDF to shape.
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/23632377_1175987032501591_8200531288858684034_o.jpg?oh=4e98cbea40935cb64a70336940d0d5f6&oe=5A9A8B5C)

(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/23467394_1175987029168258_2734735240328579869_o.jpg?oh=c83c7c8c32509ff00676ddbc589a1e37&oe=5A92E3F3)

(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/23471933_1175987095834918_6261330162064014464_n.jpg?oh=ab367f037f750bfee4f083cfba90f8e8&oe=5AA5773A)
Step 3, make a hole in the spare trim piece.
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/23471940_1175987102501584_1549342907797660407_n.jpg?oh=32885e139c0b059487ce0a9a82d222c8&oe=5A63588D)
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/23549955_1175987109168250_7866981591806158858_o.jpg?oh=5a12c05cf3627cd44710d6324f06e555&oe=5A9A53CB)
Step 4 - test fit the sub. It fits well, plenty of room.
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/23549964_1175987192501575_225955576978479872_o.jpg?oh=537c1cd97bc920458e3f07143c0a1f9e&oe=5AA5329F)
I'm planning to keep it simple, bolt the MDF to the bodywork, fit the trim over the top then screw the sub in place.
See what it sounds like! If it's not right it'll be plan B
Next step after that is to get some thin ply and use it to strengthen the trim, then find some vinyl and leather to try and match the existing stuff.

Did a bit more tinkering with the spare side panel to work towards get the sub fitted. I bought some thin ply to strengthen the panel so I can line it - couldn't find red leather but I got some vinyl which I think will look okay. We'll see if it does!
I used contact adhesive to bond the two wood surfaces together. The scrap metal pile came in handy to  weigh it down.

Will have a play at the weekend.

Just collected the car from Kohl after getting the last of the rust repaired, and a battery clamp made. Pics later :D

Fitted the new speed sensor but couldn't be bothered to move the wife's car out of the way to test.
So I spent half an hour trying and failing to get the centre rubber exhaust mount on properly, eventually leaving a cable tie on there which won't last long but might hold it until I can have another go when the car's on a ramp.

I did a bit more on fitting the subwoofer today. Test fitted the panels, and spent lots of time lining it up, trimming the MDF piece, making a metal bracket, bolting it in, realising it didn't line up, adding another MDF ring as a spacer and finally covering the trim in red vinyl.

More fiddling with the speed sensors today. The factory one works and produces a 5v pulse as expected. The two VW ones do not! Unless the pins are in a totally different order and I wired them wrong, they don't seem to produce the same outputs. I continuity tested the wiring to the dash - all good. So the fault is either the dash itself, or the connector on the factory sensor, which I have now replaced with some spade connectors
Next step - test drive. Can't do it now as I'll wake my daughter up :D


This is the shape of the passenger side under-dash panel I'm missing.
Thanks Takas for bringing yours round, much appreciated.

You can tell where I went by following the trail of oil drops

(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/24059634_10155715139540977_8074783080328155956_o.jpg?oh=2f580bf4d8b1436751e373db4fbb8ad8&oe=5A97E789)

No speedo on the way there. Working speedo on the way back!! As soon as the car starts to warm up, oil starts leaking, possibly from the dipstick, hard to tell. Need to sort that out though.

Sounds like you hbave a poor electrical connection somewhere in your speedo circuit.

Yeah I think so. Last night I continuity tested all the signal wiring from the sensor to the dash but not the other two wires to the sensor which I assume are switched live and earth as there's 12v across them. Will check the earth next. Tracing it should be fun.

Amp is mostly in place. Need a fuse and a longer power cable.

Looks like the oil leak culprit. I tightened it a little bit. Not sure if that will do the trick or it needs to be replaced.

The sensor tests fine, and signal wire has continuity to the dash so I'm thinking it's one of the other two wires which appear to be a switched live and earth. Will wire new ones and see if it cures it.

Today's other news:
It's time for the long awaited clean! Dropped Rusty off today at Finer Details NZ. Imagine how good it'll look after several days of attention from a pro detailer, plus a ceramic coating. So excited to see the results!

Your persistence will pay off and you certainly inspired me.

I am keen on quattros ever since meeting Walter Roerhl back in Germany in the 80's and watching the rally circuit in those days.

Its my dream car as well and I finally bit the bullet and now there is another car in your neighbourhood.

Test fitting the rings and pinstripes. This is after one of three stages of polishing, and the phone pic really doesn't do it justice. Finer Details NZ are doing an amazing job.

Just a thought Rob,
Have you checked all the vacuum lines around the cold start valve?
I recall having a small idling issue on my first WR. Replacing one of the rubber lines in under the cold start valve component cured that.
Most of the lines are small diameter rubber with the braided sheath, but there is a larger diameter one right underneath that can be overlooked.
Other than that, make sure the metal diaphragm in the metering head on top of the airbox seats correctly when closed. If it's off center it would cause problems at idle. There should be a tiny gap all around it's circumference when "closed". Will have to find out what that gap is though.

I have to wait a few more days for Chris to finish the coating. He's fitting me in around other jobs, hence the delay.
Then I've asked him to drop it next door to Kohl Rod and Custom to get the brake leak sorted. Only 6 weeks until Leadfoot and I need to get a WoF soon so I can do some test runs.

Yes" Someone else who likes my wheels :)

I got Finer Details NZ to drop Rusty off at Kohl Rod & Custom Ltd for them to check out the brake fluid leak. It turns out it was my fault for buying the wrong T-piece union for the rear. They've fitted a new one and are making a new front to rear line (the only one I didn't replace) because it doesn't quite reach now.
Happy with that because it means all lines are new now.

I can collect Rusty tomorrow from Finer Details NZ. They just had a couple of things to finish off after the Christmas break.
It looks so awesome!
Then I have a list of things to fix - broken seat release cable, speedo, stalling, and it's WoF time again :D

After a full three-stage paint correction, CarPro CarPro NZ CQuartz Finest ceramic paint protection was applied. The results speak for themselves.
I have a few things to fix, then I'll be able to take it somewhere for a proper photo shoot.

So I looked a bit closer and found that they are not in good shape! The rubber is hard and makes cracking noises if you try to bend it.
https://www.facebook.com/ProjectRustyquattro/videos/1214589495308011/

So I cut new ones to length but I need to wait for the clips and joiners to arrive to finish the job. They apparently cleared customs days ago.

Finally got my joiners and clips and finished making my new vac lines. No change to the stalling when warm. Need to try a few more things now I've ruled that out.

https://www.facebook.com/ProjectRustyquattro/videos/1219986208101673/

New development on the speedo, I can hear the speedo pulses coming through a speaker!! So I assume that means an earth fault in its wiring. Still need to trace the wires and see exactly where they go, I don't think it's as simple as a ground, signal and switched live.

I tried tracing the wires to the speed sensor tonight with no success - talk about spaghetti! But then I dug through my documentation and found this. Which means I can run a new switched live and ground to it and see if it cures the problem.

Dash and various gearbox speed sensors removed for some troubleshooting with a friend's help help later this week.

(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/26240485_1222027684564192_62381688677518395_o.jpg?oh=11c110fc4708d637d1c7955d4a3238db&oe=5AFB6528)

Also I've decided to call it with the drive to Leadfoot - it's in two weeks and it's just not worth the risk. Even if I get the WoF by then the car will be unproven. Still planning to go, just in another car.

So I think I'll get the front bumper removed and sort out the things I need to there like headlight washers and broken intercooler mounts, plus I will get my silicone hoses soon so I can do those too.

I ordered a new set of HT leads today just in case.

Yep that was the plan! We failed to get the dash to come on properly so gave up on that to avoid damaging it, but proved that the factory sender works. Tried all new wiring, no change, so it must be the dash unit itself. Sigh.

Thanks for the offers, but John Stone sent me one a few weeks ago! I haven't got around to fitting it yet :)

Good news, the dash and sensor have been proven to work. Turns out the wiring diagram I was using was for a 1985 car and mine is a 1984 build. So I was testing the wrong pins!

I did some tinkering this morning and tested continuity from signal wire to dash and it works. So all of the parts have been proven to be functional outside the car. Confused now.
Haven't had time yet to re-fit and test again.

So you've had the dash working in the car previously correct? So it could only be an intermittent circuit somewhere.. Could be the connector, could be a broken wire, or even a broken down wire that won't carry the required current. Best of luck!

OK, so the speedo works on the bench. Maybe check that the mechanical thingy that drives the speedo sensor is working, ie no stripped cogs or drivers. Or drive it with a drill, as you did on the bench. I'm guessing you have a good power supply and negative supply to the sensor. I don't know what the power supply on these cars should be but some hall speedo sensors have battery voltage (they reduce voltage inside them), others have 5 volt, reduced from the instrument cluster. Does anything else in the car need a road speed signal,  ie cruise control, transmission controller, engine controller, radio, wipers, that voice warning system, etc. (Just some ideas).
One of those circuits could be faulty pulling down the speedo sensor output which, if it's a hall sensor, will only be 5 volt high and 0 volt low. Maybe cut the speedo sensor wire at the instrument cluster and at the sensor and connect a new direct wire, just to test, (as you did on the bench). Good luck

The speedo is working at last!
The problem was wiring after all. I thought I'd tested the wiring by connecting a switched live to the signal wire and putting a tester on the other end, where I got a 12v live.
But it turned out that somewhere the signal wire to the dash connector was hooked up to a switched live, and also connected to the speech synthesiser, so the pulses from the sender were being ingnored by the dash, but clicks were coming from Patrizia's speaker.
I decided to bin the lot and run a new live, earth and signal wire. And it's working!

(https://scontent.fakl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/26733835_1226948060738821_273632158870291751_n.jpg?oh=05392ea29639b93cd0de418df598ef9a&oe=5AE37E74)

I also sorted a separate switched live for the pin that powers the backlight on the odometer, which wasn't working. My mate swapped out the bulbs for LEDs in the holders, so it should last now. And it's readable .

I think I've sorted the idling issue too. A video from Gears and Gasoline about spark plugs reminded me that I changed them, and maybe they could be at fault, so I bought some new ones. Bosch weren't available so I went for the NGK equivalent.

I have to agree with VW'n. I have owned my '88 MK2 Golf for 22 years and up until 4 years ago it was a daily driver. It only let me down once, the hall unit in the distributor failed and thankfully it was when I tried to back out of the garage. Yes, I have had to do ongoing maintenance but this is expected of an old vehicle.

New problems have arisen. The brake lights thing is new. Dodgy earth maybe. Water in headlight must be from it being jet washed. Brakes - will bleed them again and see.

Hey Rob, maybe check the load adjusting valve on the rear axle. I had one that leaked from where the mechanical linkage went in and sucked in air. Took a while to find it. No signs of leaking and had to keep bleeding the brakes. Had to peel but the rubber cover to find the wet signs of leaking.

Will check everything again. There's no valve at the rear, just a union splitting the pipe to each rear wheel. That has all been replaced.

Didn't get the brakes bled today as I spent the rest of the day wallpapering the lounge. :D

I did fit my new HT leads though.

Post by: 80 Vert on February 10, 2018, 07:11:11 PM
The pedal probably travels too far or is too soft.
Rob have you bled the master cylinder? It's pretty common for air to get trapped in the master cylinder and no matter what you do the brakes will feel crape till you get rid of that air.
With a car that has sat soo long I would have rebuilt or replaced the master.

I'm wondering the same. But then they have older vehicles in all the time so you'd think they'd be used to them.

I have bled the master yes. it has had a new one at some point, I think Steve replaced it sometime in the last few years, could be wrong there.

It feels a bit soft at the top of the pedal then lower down it bites much better. I'll get it to someone who knows what they're doing as I want this sorted :)

I'm wondering the same. But then they have older vehicles in all the time so you'd think they'd be used to them.

The reason I questioned this, my Lotus always failed the handbrake test until I thought of a cheat to pass , then it returned to normal......................they simply expected too much from it.............umbrella handbrake actuating  a tiny 1" square pads on the disc.
Prior to going to the testing station, I wound the adjusters up till the pads were dragging on the discs, went for the test and voila.

On my UR (LHD) the feds complained about too much pedal travel. As the pedal height is adjustable I bought it up to the level of the clutch pedal. The Feds said this was much better. It's all in the mind isn't it. There was no change in braking ability.

Your right in taking it to someone even if it's just to confirm that all is ok.
Brakes is not something you want to go wrong.
If all is ok then a temporary adjustments of the pedal to pass warrent might be in order.

And what's that in the background in pic 2? A Coupe quattro with properly working brakes, that's what.

Not sorted yet. Had a drive of Takas' CQ and his brakes are way better at the top end, mine has nothing until about 2/3 of the way down. Not confidence-inspiring.
Toyshop will sort it :D The front wheels were hot when I arrived so the brakes are definitely binding, so they're going to remove and service the calipers first and go from there.

This is the update from today:

There is a fluid leak at accumulator area which needs sorting.
Calipers seem OK.
They are going to take a look at master cylinder today.
The discs aren?t right. The pads don?t contact the full surface area.

Toy Shop supplied the discs and are going to resolve that issue. New discs will be a week, so Rusty will be sleeping there for a while.

I've asked for a price to change gearbox and rear diff fluids while it's there. I don't fancy doing those without a hoist.

Small update - the calipers are good, but seals on the master cylinder were not so good so they're replacing them. Waiting on them coming in from overseas.
But they're still not sure if that's what the main issue is.
Hoping it's nothing to do with the ABS pump as that sounds expensive.

Despite our best efforts to get the right part, they were 4mm different in size. Too small I think!

Did you mean remove the brake pressure pump not the ABS pump?

I struggle to understand why they are removing the ABS pump unless it?s leaking and drawing air. The pump only holds or releases individual brake line pressure when sensing a wheel lock. At rest and normal driving conditions all ports are open. The pump can be tested using a Bosch ABS test unit. This simulates and actuates the respective port solenoids per wheel line. Any fail with the pump operation or combi relay will activate the ABS warning lamp.

The pump does not create pressure or assist with braking effort. Only anti locking wheel function.

Brake pedal effort is assisted by the pressure accumulator (bomb) and at rest, motor off, should sustain approx 30 - 50 Brake applications before pedal goes hard.

Have you replaced the brake caliper hoses x4.?
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on March 10, 2018, 07:56:13 AM
Pressure pump would make more sense. Maybe I got the wrong story as I'm talking to the manager and he's talking to his mechanic so it could be Chinese whispers.

The hoses are all new HEL braided ones, yes.

Hoping it's not the bomb. I spoke to one of the urq Facebook group members whose bomb failed and it gave a rock-hard peda, which is the opposite of my issue.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: Horch on March 10, 2018, 08:22:41 AM
If your master cylinder and calipers have been reconditioned then the pressure assistance circuit needs to be investigated.

Ultimately the system hydraulic circuit needs to be tested with suitable gauge for output.

Do you know if the brake servo was reconditioned at the time the master cyl was serviced.

In other news - my brakes should now pass a WoF. Apparently they worked but the car dived left and right under braking! Then they worked out that there's a bleed process for the power steering pump which also provides pressure for the brakes. Bleeding that sorted it.

But there are a couple of other things that should have failed the last WoF - headlight bulbs which I bought which are a bit of a weird colour - will swap them for originals, and rear seatbelts aren't retracting. They're new so just need adjusting.

Great to see you are getting there.
By the way, i went to the Kapiti car show this morning for a look with the urquattro only to be told i cant park in the display area as this is not really a classic car.
If i would have taken the corvette or even the crapty old chevy ute it would have been acceptable.
Nevermind, it shows again how ignorant and one eyed some people are, still was a great drive.

What is a classic? I guess if you asked 10 people that same question you would get 10 different answers.

I guess it's like Kohl, who just thought it was some old Euro car and had no idea of its history.

Haha, they have been well and truely educated by now.
Apparently there is a car display coming up in April out at battle hill farm that rotary is organising, maybe we should park up the  two quattros as bit of a display.

WoF is very close. Gearbox and rear diff oils arrive tomorrow so they can be done.

Not looking forward to the bill for this lot!

Second supermarket car park of the evening. Terrible pic, it was getting dark :D
The drive home was uneventful. Loud. Very loud. It sounds sooo good though.
It goes well, brakes well, steers nicely, rides nicely. Very happy indeed.
There are definitely some rough edges to sort out, but I can drive it at last! So happy!

I am loving this car! It sounds like it's gargling on the fuel not just drinking it, what an awesome sound!
Considering it's 33 years old, the steering is light and accurate, it goes very nicely, stops pretty well. It's flippin' hot in there in this sun though.
Cornering hard makes the rear wheels scrape - not sure what's touching what at the moment.

And did I mention that sound? Epic. Can't stop grinning.

Working on the to-do list now :D

Rear indicators are dim
Samco hoses to fit
Under-dash trims
Radio aerial not connected
Intercooler mounts broken
Slow coolant leak
Oil leak
Remove and re-fit both bumpers with proper support brackets and missing padding between sections
Rear wheels rub on back bumper on hard cornering
Fit headlight washers

Plenty to do !

Haha probably my wife, she said it gave her motion sickness because the pics are too fast.

Fixed the indicators by swapping the LED bulbs for some normal ones from Super Cheap :)

Tempted to risk the morning commute into Wellington this week. Probably a bad idea.

hope you didn't commute today,it's craphouse outside.......perfect weather for other drivers being at fault.....

Nah screw joining the chaos when everyone takes a car to work but forgets how to drive it because it's raining.
Great day for driving the A4.

I have no problem getting it wet or dirty but I don't want to sit in stop/start traffic for an hour with the windows steaming up. Not when I have an auto A4 with aircon :)

Ah, yes I see. Stop start traffic is little fun, whatever you're in, let alone a car you're just learning to trust. I know my good wife hated driving my urq out of Auckland through rush hour one time when she had no choice, but she doesn't drive it much! I don't mind that traffic so much in the quattro, I have done it a few times but don't like being on and off the clutch all the time, feeling like I'm using up a months worth of clutch plates.

I did drive mine today, and near Morrinsville I experienced the worst weather I think I've ever driven the quattro in. Could hardly see even with wipers on full. Your rain today was probably worse again!

School run, followed by a rush-hour commute in to central Wellington. Turns out the heater doesn't work.

Trying to decide when to full the front apart to do the various jobs that need doing, like fix the headlight washers, intercooler mounts, Samco hoses etc.

I want to get on with it but don't want to stop driving it :D

No petrol in the A4, so a great excuse to commute in the ur.
Average MPG isn't too bad over the first 200 miles or so.
My ABS light comes on every time I go over 70kph, sometimes stays on, sometimes goes off again. It goes off and stays off if I fiddle with the ABS off switch. Something else for the list.

No it's not that clever. Maybe because the old-school mechanical odometer is in miles?

Hey Rob

can I suggest another job (as if you need another one) while you are doing the under bonnet stuff..........take off Rusty's rusty rocker cover and have it re-powder coated in black...things then under the bonnet will look as good as what has been done by you on the outside

hope you don't mind my suggestion.

Keep up the good work.. you have done a good job and write a great story

Would be losing a few horseys out of that intercooler hose!

All back together - time for a test drive. It feels a bit better but still runs out of power at about 5000 rpm.
The intake hose is slightly twisted so might be deforming under boost - need to loosen it and sort it but it's a pig to get to.

Just checking.. yep the coolant stayed in.

Took the wife for her first ride in the car. She pointed out about ten things wrong with it that I haven't got to yet.
Then we broke down in the shopping centre car park - not quite enough charge in the battery to start the car. She got a bit grumpy because we needed to be somewhere and I had to call the AA for a jump start from a booster pack.

Today was more successful - I took Rusty to the Capital Rodders Swap Meet.
Longest drive yet - Tawa to Upper Hutt. Coming back over SH58 made me grin. Must sort out the rear wheel rubbing issue though!!

It was my fault. So annoyed with myself!.
I have an awkward uphill 90 degree turn in the drive to get into my garage and I have to go in at an angle. I misjudged it and as it was dark I couldn't see properly in the side mirror that it was about to make contact with the door frame.

It was great to see your car at the swapmeet.
You made one of our clubmembers day he has a stuning classic bathhurst monaro, so he knows his cars.
He remembered the quattros from the WRC in New Zealand in the 80's and thought people most likely would have no idea of the significance as they walked past it.
I couldnt bring mine as i am still waiting for my coolant hose kit and get the driver seat recovered by the Kohl's with the cloth i found in Austria.

You know what's annoying? Paying monthly for a car park then leaving the pass in your other car and having to pay $25.60 to park for work. First world problems I guess.
At least I found an Audi friend to park next to.

Hmm. I took the battery back to Repco and they tested it, it's giving 700 amps and 12.7 volts.
Tried another new battery, same issue.
Put original battery back on, fired up first time.
It seems worse when it's warm which is strange. Turn the key, and you get nothing at all. Not even a click. But lights and everything else work. Turn it again and it works.

I'm thinking possibly a dodgy earth somewhere, or the ignition switch. It's strange that jumping it to another car fixed it straight away. It's very random.

We'll see! This has been an issue since day 1, I've never put much effort into it until now.

I had a problem like that years ago in Renault Fuego, totally random , intermittant loss of starter.
Auto electricians were full possible causes, even to fitting an additional relay to circumvent the 'dodgy French connections', their words and this was when the car was quite new.
Problem was eventually solved when I had to ORDER the guy to remove and check the starter after they had rechecked everything again and said all was OK.
Turned out to have a dry joint.
The starter on the Fuego was very inaccessible (by the 1980's standards) and I think he just didn't want to make the effort.

After an incident with the broken door check strap (which I'd forgotten to fix) and the Wellington wind, plus the garage door incident, Rusty was looking a bit battered.
It was time for a trip to Finer Details NZ for some bodywork love.
It's looking great now. Just need to re-apply the pinstripes.

It did yes. No paint damage to the car. I guess that ceramic coat is working!

Hmm. I took the battery back to Repco and they tested it, it's giving 700 amps and 12.7 volts.
Tried another new battery, same issue.
Put original battery back on, fired up first time.
It seems worse when it's warm which is strange. Turn the key, and you get nothing at all. Not even a click. But lights and everything else work. Turn it again and it works.

I'm thinking possibly a dodgy earth somewhere, or the ignition switch. It's strange that jumping it to another car fixed it straight away. It's very random.

We'll see! This has been an issue since day 1, I've never put much effort into it until now.

Voltage drop in the start circuit, wire in a starter relay.
Relay takes the start current instead of the wiring or ign switch.
Look up vw hard start relay for wiring instructions.  Very easy to set up with a regular 30A relay.

Looks like it might be a good idea.

Made a couple of chunky new earth cables. The starter and surrounding cables look a bit iffy. I didn't have much time today but I'll remove the starter soon and check it over, and the cables. I haven't found the third engine earth yet. Apparently it's on one of the engine mounts.

I also bought this as I'm charging the battery at least once a week - still need to track down the source of that. But in the meantime this means I don't have to keep taking the back seat out and sorting the seatbelts out every time.

I'm wondering if this is the cause of my intermittent start issue. The wires were green inside the shielding and the shielding was crunchy and cracked. So I made new wires.

I realised we never made any drain holes in the boot floor when the bodyshop had the car. So I made some. Need to make them bigger and add rubber bungs. And paint it properly of course.

Not exactly no. It starts more eagerly now but there's some sort of heat related issue somewhere I think. It fired up no problem 6 times then refused to start after a longer run. Leaving it for ten minutes fixed it.

Battery draining is still there too. I never seem to get to the task of tracing that one. Will get to it eventually!

Finally sorted that check strap. I buggered the rivet when removing it so a bolt will do for now.

Yes not too bad. They have to come out of the springy bit towards the car rather than into the door, so I removed the door card, unscrewed the whole mechanism (two 5mm hex screws) and took it out to insert the new strap.
Getting the rivet out was trickiest as it had been crimped at the bottom, so I had to drill it then tap it out with a punch.
Hence the bolt.

Quick wash for the meet tonight then when I set off, the noise from the suspension worried me enough that I turned back. I've gone over every bolt in the front suspension and most of the rear but not the top mounts so they're my next place to check.

(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37038474_1403466043087021_2675583910364053504_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=b5174024490fff38a32d47548bd0876d&oe=5BCE92C9)

Also I found out where it's leaking - from between two pieces of metal where the back corner was repaired. Obviously something was not done properly.

I spent most of yesterday doing things on Rusty, but I don't feel like I made any progress in actually fixing anything.

About halfway through the day, the involuntary horn issue re-appeared!

(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37581565_1413840145382944_4176995745653587968_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=392f0165d642aea4fd2a0a76057d6e0f&oe=5BDAAEDA)

Somehow the screw at the bottom has snapped, vibrated out and made contact with the horn slip ring. Causing random beeps when steering.

(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37635133_1413851128715179_709952128319225856_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=66b18748b5838425a9a79da8141bde09&oe=5BD25C57)

Then there was the intermittent starting issue. Left it ten minutes, no joy. Left it another ten, fired up fine.
Video: https://www.facebook.com/ProjectRustyquattro/videos/1413868148713477/

I pulled the carpet back, to check out the main power wiring.

It actually looks decent.

I replaced the third engine earth (now that I've located it :D )
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37575198_1414008922032733_1838773686664953856_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=8b469569857840bfce3ce46f282143fc&oe=5BC77FDD)

It seemed to slightly improve the drop in voltage on cranking. But the issue is still there. Next step I think will be to completely replace the wire from ignition to starter as apparently it takes a somewhat circuitous route.

Then there's the suspension clonking, which concerns me. I jacked up the car and checked everything and it all seems tight.
Took Rusty to a local tyre place and we had a good look over the underside, swung off the suspension. All we could hear underneath was a creak from one of the rear wishbone bushes.
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37642116_1414250548675237_8331606568437022720_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=041ea8e9695971d01d166a630b90a796&oe=5BE6A732)

But it's more of a "something is loose" noise. Hoping to have time today to drop the suspension and check the top mounts and other bits I can't see.
I have a weekend in Taupo booked next weekend with the family and I really want to take Rusty. At the moment it's not looking good.

The pouring rain provided some more leak testing. The boot is leaking in two places at opposite corners - behind the wheel arch and behind the right rear light.
I also need to fix the holes causing a leak above the driver's footwell. That has been on the list for ages, but I need to get onto it now I'm driving the car.

(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37551924_1414315878668704_4444491522938765312_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=4b52955d70be504b7853d32dd78935a4&oe=5BDB0102)

So lots to do, and nothing fixed yet!
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37426829_1414332088667083_2426240004901568512_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=0ed0ff8cec8a2a27c0ded1edac47a4cc&oe=5BD4FA50)

At the shops, refusing to start. The exact same thing happened in the same place last time too. And both times, leaving the car for a while fixed it. So random.

hard start relay?.. I?m guessing you mean to say a ignition switch by pass relay to reduce potential voltage drop to the starter solenoid.

IMO there is multiple issues yet to be addressed. The obvious one being what Rob is yet to resolve and that?s the battery going flat and the need to change it weekly. You can go into a tail spin and chase a miultitude of earth straps, relay install, etc etc all day long but first fix the obvious. Guessing possible cause vs diagnosis becomes expensive and frustrating.

If the source power supply is toast then you need to start there and get this resolved.
1.  Fully charge the battery and have it load tested to the correct specification and capacity.
2.   If it?s ok then check current draw to establish if it is being drained by a consumer. Ie alarm, boot light, audio.
3.   If it?s holding a charge with no consumers then you need to check the starting circuit voltage drop
4.   Finally charging circuit alternator output.

Yes, commony known in the VW world as a hard start relay.  A super common problem on older VW's not equipped with a starter relay.
Even if this is not the cause it's well worth fitting one for the sake of a $20 relay.

That would cause a vacuum leak, which makes sense. Was it cranking but not starting?
My issue is definitely electrical because it doesn't even try to crank.

Not yet. My main problem at the moment is finding time to do all of the things! And the fact that every time I go near the car another issue surfaces :D
Planning a trip to Taupo in it this weekend if I can get the suspension knocking sorted, as I don;t like that!

I dropped it off at Wellington European today because I've run out of time to look at it more myself.

It stood out on the morning school run.

Post by: black16v on July 24, 2018, 05:51:39 PM
Hey Rob, do has Horch said in instructions 1 to 4. Then it might be time to do some road side diagnostics of that starter motor. When it plays up you want to poke around the starter. When it doesn't crank over see if you are getting power to terminal 50 on the solenoid when you try to crank (could be a two man job). If you get 12 volts and the starter doesn't respond, then you have an internal starter fault. ie solenoid, brushes or armature. Because there is no current draw then there is no voltage drop (something to do with ohm's law). If it cranks slowly or only clicks and the voltage is below, say 8 volts then you could have a short circuit in the starter or voltage drop in the old wiring. So now make sure the car is out of gear and the ignition is off. (you don't want to chase it down the road) If you can bridge the main battery terminal on the solenoid to terminal 50 and it cranks over fine then you have voltage drop in the old wiring and adding a relay will over come this but you will be fixing the symptom not the cause. If it doesn't crank but sparks like crazy or eventhing starts getting hot, you have a fault in the starter.
If the Hall unit is playing up they normally produce no spark and the engine should still crank over ok. However I had one years ago that would randomly cause the engine to crank slow, like a flat battery. It was never the first stat of the day but after the car had been used. I guess somehow it as advancing the spark.

I really need to spend a day concentrating on nothing but the electrics and starter. Just need to balance that with family and stuff, this is always my challenge!

As for the suspension:

(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37677295_1418548561578769_5101397304754044928_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&_nc_eui2=AeFv9qdtzhvljSCesqN9AH0oCHqDEvXcx5PDEhTl0hxAWqCx54VxMGCj1pfBub8W6ms89VcbZXbHZRzpUD7H_XxtYShEPnRYw1zna3qKPk9qwA&oh=dfbba41013e7d6cb6f8d94d9b94513c3&oe=5BDD1E6C)

It is something relatively simple, but it's not a simple fix. The cap that holds the strut insert in place (silver bit on this photo) has come loose on each shock, allowing the cartridge to rattle around. Which is a bad thing!

(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/17359407_990595597707403_5554942128938357690_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&_nc_eui2=AeEGbthGbTJDYQvBUNliuSI_d3fKiMmieUhnMCUUdl8AbIW15L4KUyKs2BGM95sMH5zo9EUWrbm-dmiIuRmh6rtjDd01YtP71xO_sa3nMpWmJg&oh=2cd1bc6f6d70933c150002f51fcdfd8e&oe=5C13FE84)

Unfortunately this needs a special tool making, and means all four struts need to come out so that the tool can fit inside the spring. Bugger.

For some reason this is my most liked Instagram photo ever:

So anyway that suspension. Got the car up on stands, and found that the front right and rear left caps were loose.
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/38405529_1435833169850308_8322591479327358976_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=44effb7be76ddcbe7906f13b0f15de9f&oe=5BFD822A)

I bought a 52mm C spanner and used that to tighten them up. Worth a shot before taking all of the suspension out. After a 40km test drive we still have no rattles, so time will tell.

I pulled the rear light out...
(https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/38457984_1436175603149398_7138898771722633216_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=2751a592dbad09314181b498818fdb33&oe=5C0A0F68)

And there's a hairline crack between the metal panels.

Some silicone sealant seems to have sorted the leak.

At the other side there was a hole where the new boot floor piece was welded in. This may only be a temporary fix but I have sealed it with some body filler :)

And true to form, during my test drive I noticed the front indicator isn't working, rear wiper has somehow loosened so it doesn't work, and the driver's door central locking motor has stopped working. Sigh. And even though the car started fine with 20% battery when I set off, and again before I returned, it would not start to move from the drive to the garage. I left it for a couple of hours and it sorted itself out. Really need to spend more time on that issue.

I noticed my front indicator wasn't working, had to take the headlight out to get to the back of the indicator to check the wiring. I managed to drop a screw into the void of doom, never to be seen again, then got the light fixed, headlight back in, the last screw I put in snapped the metal clip it screws into, had to take it all out again to fix that.

Right, that battery drain issue.
Starting with the factory fuse box. The fuses for flasher unit, hazards, horn, brake lights, stereo, dome and boot lights, voice unit, central locking, mirrors, cigarette lighter are all live with the ignition off, as you'd expect.

(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/38647226_1440954776004814_2538277108740784128_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=dd04edc7c972c9892450ee1a1552eaa3&oe=5BF77CCD)

I pulled out all of these fuses for these to see what happened overnight.

Almost everything I've added to the car is on switched live, but (assuming the battery monitor is accurate) something was draining it even faster. I thought maybe the alarm trying to go off. It went down 23% overnight.

In the morning I pulled the power out of the (no longer working) GPS tracker. Battery was reading 52%. This was the reading after 10 hours.

(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/38852874_1442496895850602_6079781307070545920_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=f06b076e20fb184a3004f88229d31051&oe=5BC56B9F)

And overnight it went down by 1%.
Looks like that little thing was somehow eating rather a lot from my new big fat battery.

New GPS tracker is ordered. I've gone for this one

https://drivingsound.co.nz/product/mongoose-pt890-gps-tracker/

which looks more convincing than the cheap AliExpress/Ebay one I had previously, and it has a useful phone app.


Next jobs:

Rear wiper not wiping, but motor is turning.

And of course that starting issue!!

I fixed the rear wiper - just had to tighten the nut a bit :D I like the simple ones.
Pulled the old GPS out, and I took a look at the heater control that isn't switching from hot to cold, and nothing's holding the outer sheath of the cable in place. it looks like a bit might be missing/broken at the back. I really don't want to take half the dash apart to look at it properly, so a few cable ties have sorted it for now. One day I will have to strip the dash apart again and fix a few things more properly.

Waiting for a new locking actuator to arrive before I take the driver's door apart.

As for the start issue - it isn't gone but it has improved. The GPS must have been stealing voltage as the crank voltage has gone up from 9ish to 11ish volts and it seems more willing to start most times. The one time it failed I was able to turn it off/on/off/on and each time I heard the solenoid click, then the fourth attempt it fired, so as well as the voltage it seems the starter itself is faulty after all. I know several people had suggested that before :D I can get a brand new starter and solenoid on Ebay for about $250, or pull this one out and get it refurbished. No idea what that would cost.

I have weirdness with the brakes again. Sounds like what the garage described before bleeding the power steering, which fixed it that time.
It felt like it was applying pressure to one side then the other, and a hard almost a pulsing feel to the pedal, then I lifted off and braked again and it was fine.
This happened several times during a short drive.
Could the pressure accumulator be the fault after all? It shouldn't need re-bleeding after 550 miles.

Of course the brakes functioned completely normally today. Have asked for a WoF too. fingers crossed.

Got the car back. WoF failed but they didn't have time to look at the braking issue!

After fixing the driver's door central locking (I hadn't clicked a wire connector together properly and it had worked loose) I started thinking about improving the audio setup.

I know there are other things to fix but I've been pondering this for a while. I have the tape deck feeding into an Out of Sight Audio Mk3, which acts as an amp for the speakers as well as feeding the sub amp via an RCA cable (with a level control to adjust the bass). But Bluetooth music volume is only controllable by the phone's controls. So I wanted to add an amp for the speakers, with another volume knob. I came across this really neat little 4 channel amp at Repco which would fit nicely, and bought another level control and some RCA cables from Jaycar Electronics. I pulled the car apart and re-ran all of the speaker wires to the rear left where my sub amp lives, then ran the new RCA cables. Then I got the new amp out ready to work out how to secure it in there, and realised that it has two inputs rather than an input and output. So I'll need an RCA splitter to feed both amps. Or I could use the sub amp as a primary (it has an output) but I'd lose the separate bass control.

After a lot of swearing and a few more visits to buy cables and adapters I've simplified things a bit and ditched the extra level controller. The only RCA splitters I could get were simple cables with an extra end, and connecting those to two level controls didn't go well  
So I'm feeding the Bluetooth unit to the sub amp then outputting to the speaker amp. Which itself needed an RCA splitter to convert one input to two as it's two separate amps with no built-in option to bridge the inputs.
Just need to get the car put back together now.

Drove Rusty back to Wellington European for them to do the brakes today.

The stereo is much improved, and way louder than it was. Very happy with that.
The tape deck no longer plays out of the speakers though so I have that to fix.

And the horn has stopped working. Sigh.

I've decided that Rusty is like a Tesla in that it downloads new "features" overnight.

Could this be the reason Rusty is so hard to fill with fuel? It's the breather from the fuel tank and looks like it has been pinched under the tank at some point. Need to get underneath and work out where it goes, then replace it.

So, my brakes again. I have an intermittent issue under light braking where the pedal is hard and the car pulls left, then right with minimal actual braking. Come off the brake and back on and it brakes normally.
Obviously this is a little disconcerting when braking is needed.

WEEU have bled the brakes and power steering again, no air was apparent in either system. They've suggested that the front/rear proportioning valve could be at fault.
According to my diagrams it's part 803 612 303 which is about $500 here in NZ.

Oh and my ABS doesn't appear to be functioning either. Sigh.

The light's out and ABS doesn't go apparently. WEEU tested it and the wheels lock up. If I go over 70 the ABS light comes on and stays on. This could be a mis-aligned or faulty sensor. I tested the resistance of the sensors and they are all in tolerance but I haven't had them connected to an oscilloscope.

Going to work through this, see if anything comes up.

If $500 is a bit steep for the proportioning valve you can use these WD direct replacement ones. It'll be about NZ$330 landed.

Have  you tried just hooking up another battery directly to the starter to see if it turns over when it's hot.
I'd also look at heat wrapping that bit of exhaust that is right next to the starter. You might just be getting the thing a bit too hot.

I means that your starter current is drawn directly from the battery and does not traverse the plethora of cables in the starter system. It just removes any potential power loss though bad wiring.
I thought that had been done already.

Correct,  but good advice often gets ignored.

Fitting a relay only bypasses the ignition switch. The relay therefore carries the current and operates the stater solenoid or starter control circuit (50).

Time a voltmeter was used to identify where the problem voltage drop exists.

Fitting a relay only bypasses the ignition switch. The relay therefore carries the current and operates the stater solenoid or starter control circuit (50).

Time a voltmeter was used to identify where the problem voltage drop exists.

Yep, I thought I had found the culprit when I removed the faulty GPS. As always my main problem is finding time to do it. after the Gumboot Rally next weekend maybe :)

In a related inccident:

Typical Audi parking? Or pushed there after refusing to start at a petrol station?
Take a guess.

After about 15 minutes, attempt number 75 ish turned the starter and we were off!

The starter now has its little blanket to protect from exhaust heat.

I replaced the wire from alternator to starter too as it looked dodgy.

I'll get there, it's all part of the journey.
After Gumboot Rally this weekend I'll probably have a list of things to fix. And I'll replace another starter component. One thing at a time until it works properly :D

Well that weekend did not go entirely according to plan...

My daughter and I added the Gumboot Rally stickers

(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41296681_1483204711779820_4707458231440506880_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=e8b6849e35724ef501dabfeefc9ffd04&oe=5C339C0E)

And on Friday morning we were off.
Got as far as Kapiti but with weight in the back, fuel in the tank and a passenger, the rear wheels were hitting the arches on every bump. This is my fault, the tyres are a size too big on the 18s and diameter is bigger than stock.
So we went to Cooper Tyres, who were not afraid to attack my car with a die grinder and hammer!
(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/40932322_1483916571708634_8327049569481261056_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=924a624e3028b88918e365c00aadc86d&oe=5C3BAE05)

Much improved, but still rubbing on the big bumps.

Eventually made it to Taihape after putting $80 of 95 RON in in Levin and needing a push start from the petrol station.
(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41229775_1484053741694917_6172800227003596800_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=6503285991b7128626e7143cb9cab88f&oe=5C2B3100)

At this point it was refusing to rev over 3000rpm when under load, though it revved fine when out of gear. I assumed this was the 95RON fuel and topped up with 98.
It then refused to start. I pulled half the dash out, fiddled with some wires, tried it again and it started fine.

So on to Taupo and it was driving okay but not great. Then as we got nearer things got gradually worse. The issue felt like a boost pipe had come off, as soon as it hit boost, the engine was pulling back and juddering. We limped up that massive hill and into town, leaving the car at the motel to cool down while we went and had a beer and a steak.
(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41145924_1484152775018347_1651031994617823232_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=da4f6d0e892877d954fbe4a81801dc8a&oe=5BF214D7)

So up at 6am the next day and I jacked up the car and checked all of the boost pipes. All solid and well attached.
(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41195664_1484756588291299_6911018462810734592_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=179bf93a96217d637ff1cb15f1aec44f&oe=5C2ABDC7)

Then I noticed a small amount of coolant had made its way out of the side of the head gasket.

(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41341752_1484756661624625_7506767535283372032_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=4ba708086d28d64e528a54b00f9f761b&oe=5C23C51F)

At this point we decided to call it on the Gumboot, and set off walking to the start line 1km away.
I did get to apply my new stickers though.
(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41382344_1485405984893026_7417525974662643712_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=0e2f4f9f74acde0a2ee1f7732ff77807&oe=5C334635)

I had texted Wilco, who I bought Rusty from, and he was on his way down to check out the car. When he heard the news, he very kindly offered to loan us his car for the Gumboot. Suffice to say we gratefully accepted, so after a quick trip to drop him home, we were off on the rally.
The next day, the Gumboot brought us back to pass through Taupo around 2pm, so we decided to abandon the rally, get Wilco's car back to him and head off. So we washed and filled his car, got that sorted and test started Rusty, which fired up and drove fine.

(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41282558_1486239981476293_7062799398710804480_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=15ae90f215a1d9f934da6d6c30853d9a&oe=5C36C933)

We went into Taupo, stopped for a change of clothes. Rusty started fine. Then we headed to Repco to see if they had an ignition coil, as Wilco suggested this is a common failure point.
From this point on, Rusty has not started. Sigh.
(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41331366_1486291251471166_2985104486646677504_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=4890d47f76e34f1bf83aa2263b76bb56&oe=5C27234C)

We called the AA to talk about getting a tow home with AA Plus.
They agreed to cover a $1500 tow, blowing out my membership for the year, but still getting us home :)
In the waiting time we walked over to the Gumboot prize giving, and picked up our "Epic Fail Award"

(https://scontent.fhlz1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41326694_1486373234796301_5486113665943863296_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=589a45456ba47d96aa4592a7e81535fd&oe=5C30D881)

Project car life I guess. The start issue is annoying as it has been so intermittent but it seems to have broken properly now, so hopefully that means I can resolve it properly.
The wife was unimpressed, especially as yesterday was her birthday.

When the start issue happens, it doesn't even turn over, starter doesn't move. Fuel pump is running.
I've replaced several things, just need to keep going until I replace the right thing, or find the culprit in the process!

Does the solenoid operate? If not, then you can look at the starting circuit as you suggested rather than the battery to starter.

Do you have an alarm? If so, remove it to eliminate that. Then I'd be looking at the ignition barrel. Then the circuit/relay for the solenoid.
Good luck!

I sorted the start issue! There were two main problems. When I replaced some of the wires to the starter I bought some connectors to join the wires, which turned out to be somewhat inadequate, as the live one had melted and the earth wasn't connecting properly either.
I'm not convinced that the wire back to the joint in the relay box is okay, so I will replace the whole run with new wire from the starter switch.
The other issue once it was turning over is I have a dodgy connection to the fuel pump. WIll replace that wiring also.
There's so much sorting out of wiring to do, some of which is my own mess where I've made connections to get things working and not gone back to do it properly. Will spend some time fixing this and trying to get that spaghetti looking less scary.

In other news I think I cracked a rib! When I was laying across the driver's seat fiddling with ignition wiring last weekend, something gave,. I felt like the metal bar in the seat side support went between two ribs. It winded me for a second and hurt for a bit then has been fairly okay for a week. But now I can hardly move, can't lift stuff and it hurts to breathe. Bugger.

Might slow me down a bit on the wiring but gives me time to collect parts.

On the Mk1, I bought a bunch of the original style fusebox terminals and the necessary tools to extract them from the terminal housings.  This meant that I could strip out whole lengths of wire and replace them without any connections or potential breaks, which makes diagnosing future problems much easier.

Also, try and utilise relays whenever you are adding on accessories to existing switches.  These relays (https://www.jaycar.com.au/spdt-30a-horn-relay-12v/p/SY4046) are what I used for my dual horns (NOS Hella Dual tones!).  They are tiny and can be heat shrinked to 'disappear' into the loom.

RS-components is your friend for the terminals :)

I learn't that lesson after fitting bigger wattage headlight bulbs to my Audi and the lights went out at 100kph one night........
For anybody that doesn't know the Cromwell Gorge. No street lights, completely black with a big drop off into water to my left , big bank to my right. Had to pull up mighty quick and judge where I was by the tyres crunching on the gravel on the side of the road.
Trying to work out why the lights died, kept jiggling the light stalk and felt something break and the lights came on again but only on full beam, got to my destination and checked it out in the morning to find the light stalk melted.
I bought a new light stalk and added relays.

Onto another issue, which I've caused :)

My back wheels rub on the arches over big bumps with weight in the back. Some work at Cooper Tyres with a hammer and grinder has helped, but not fixed the issue.

I have changed the standard 15" x 8" wheels for my lovely Azev A 18" x 8.5" - which some people love and some hate :D

The standard tyre size is 215/50R15, which has a diameter of 597mm
I thought I had the right size when I bought 215/40R18, but obviously miscalculated because they are 630mm diameter

215/35R18 would be closer at 607mm diameter but would the ride be really horrible?

Another option is to refurb the original 15s and fit 225/50R15s, which would also give a 607mm diameter, but add an extra thousand dollars of refurb cost. It'd please the purists though.

There's also the option of raising the rear slightly as I'm running H&R springs. I do think the back looks to sit a little low, so 10mm or so of extra height wouldn't hurt, but I have no idea how to do this without changing springs again.

While I am not a purist as such, I still think the original Ronals look the part. Pity that tyres in a 15" are getting a bit like hens teeth. Pity there isn't a 16" version. Then you could run a 16x8 with 215/45/16 tyre. Same rolling circumference.

A company in the UK has produced a run of the original tyre size, as they're not made any more by the big manufacturers. Don't know how expensive they are though.

Vredestein introduces tyres for modern classics
The Vredestein tyre range has been expanded in response to fast-rising demand for modern classic cars. The first tyre will be launched in September and is designed for the original Audi Quattro. The tyre?s development was assisted by none other than former Formula One champion and Vredestein ambassador Jochen Mass.

?There is more and more appreciation for cars from the 1970s, ?80s and ?90s ? so called youngtimers or modern classics,? says Mass. ?They are also about to become classic cars, properly speaking. Unfortunately, manufacturers have already stopped producing original tyres for such vehicles. Owners are therefore forced to fit more modern tyres on their youngtimers, often with less than optimal results from an aesthetic point of view.?

?Vredestein believes that a quality product with a retro look developed specially for youngtimers is a better choice,? Mass adds. ?The value of youngtimers is growing and retro tyres that match their era of origin help preserve the magic of these cars. Vredestein gives the youngtimer tyres a fitting tread and an elegant sidewall design, while manufacturing them according to the latest production methods and strictest quality requirements. The drivers thus get optimised grip ? but combined with a retro look.?

Vredestein will release its modern classic range under the name Sprint+. As mentioned, the first will be a very special fitment: a 215/50 R15 for the legendary ?Ur-Quattro?. This tyre size has not been available anywhere for a long time.

?The UK market for classic and modern classic vehicles is at an all-time high,? says Karl Naylor, Apollo Vredestein UK country manager. ?Vredestein has a long history of producing classic car design tyres with cutting-edge technology and is perfectly positioned to fulfil demand from a market overall worth more that ?5.5 million (according to data from The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs) in the UK. Some models from the ?70s and ?80s are sought after by enthusiasts who loved them when they were new; their popularity and suitability for everyday use drive the demand for suitable safe, good quality tyres.

?By the first half of 2019, we expect to have approximately ten different tyre sizes for youngtimers,? says Michele Sala, product manager passenger vehicle tyres at Apollo Vredestein. ?Vredestein maintains intensive contact with the major tyre dealers and historic car clubs to explore demand for various sizes of youngtimer tyres. Tyres for popular brands such as Porsche, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Alfa Romeo are among those being considered.?

The ideal rim tyre upgrade is 215/40/17 which only introduces a -1% speedo error.
18? increases the error ratio to  -5% plus 16.5mm ride height gain hence wheel arch clearance issue.

Short of importing them yourself? You won't have much luck I don't think.

If however you find a supplier? please share, I really would lik to give there tyre a go.

Suggest you send an email enquiry to Longstone tyres in UK.
They show Pirelli 215 50 R 15 on their site   https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/classic-car-tyres/audi/audi-quattro.html
but you may have to ask about the new 215 50 R 15 Vredestein Sprint+

Aren't R888s semi-slick race tyres?

Looks like the Vredesteins are 260 Euro each, which would work out at well over $2k landed here for a set of four.
Tempted to just go 225/50R15.

Didn't have much time over the weekend and don't want to make my cracked rib worse, but I did fit a shiny new ignition coil.

Mine does if parked with other side higher than the cap ie angle parking on a hill. I seem to remember years ago a thread on this in quattroforum and it was a reasonably common occurrence. The answer was not to fill it right up. Besides that it is a health and safety issue. A complete fill  can cause heart attacks at the service station counter.

I've had a couple of responses on Facebook saying similar things, and that it could just be the petrol cap seal, or even that I just haven't tightened it properly.
As for a complete fill - 90 litres of 98 is over $230 now.

Without that 5 cylinder sound?

Up another 4c this morning. Sight. Ah well, what can you do?

I think I may have fixed the petrol smell issue by removing and re-fitting the fuel cap :D :D :D

On the way home we had 4 people in the car, and it started and went well. Rear wheels were rubbing though. It seems to be about 2cm lower on the rear left, which is weird, and doesn't help.
Not sure why that would be but I'm going to have to give in and take it apart at some point I think. I'd like it to be a little higher at the back, but I'm not sure how I can raise it just a bit without changing springs.

Also I really need to get a resonator added to the exhaust - the drone at 90-100kph is a bit much

Random photos of Rusty's underside while it was on the hoist. The vacuum hardline to the centre diff lock is a bit corroded.

The factory wiring is pretty spaghetti-like, but I didn't help matters by adding my own little switched live distribution board, which has grown into a mess of "temporary" additions to get things working. I've added several bits of tech, plus bypassed a couple of factory wires to fix issues, and ended up with an unlabelled mess. So I need to take it all apart, re-do and label it. I found this really neat fuse board on Ebay which I'll move everything over to, and label  properly. I got as far as mounting it under the dash before my fingers went numb. We're having a bit of a cold snap here in Wellington!

Cheers :) Second Sunday of the month throughout the summer.

Rusty mostly performed really well yesterday, but I did have a minor issue - brakes - one in four times I pressed them they didn't work! Usually going down hill, they feel rock hard as if air is in the system but if you push harder the car squirms a bit then it's like you push through the problem and the brakes work. Really weird and I thought it was fixed when the front/rear bias valve was replaced. Dammit.

Most times they work perfectly. Almost everything in the braking system has been replaced - calipers refurbed, new hard lines, new flexis, new discs and pads, master cylinder rebuilt, bias valve replaced. Fluid level is staying constant. Unlikely to be the bomb as it's intermittent, and that also provides steering pressure, which is okay.

Confused.

Love this dash so much! Also I've covered 1200 miles so far in Rusty.

I've ordered a new pressure accumulator so we'll see if that sorts it. I'm told that the power steering drives directly from the pump and the bomb only pressurises the brakes, so it might explain some of the symptoms. Not sure why it would be intermittent though.

I got these 15mm poly spacers for the rear springs, to lift the ride height a little. If it fixes the rubbing issues and the rear-down stance then I'll look at getting some different springs for the rear as a more permanent solution. The H&R springs lower the car about 40mm, and at the moment the top of the rear arch is about 10mm lower than the front one. When loaded it obviously sits lower still. Just need to find time to get on with it.

Yep, didn't get a chance last night to move it, it'll settle a bit once it's driven.

Here's a pic of that shiny new resonator :D

Just got Rusty shifted to a classic car policy after popping in to talk about the agreed value. Limited to 5000km but it's lower excess and $530 a year cheaper. Score!

I paid for a valuation back in January which they accepted. But the renewal process knocked 10% off, so that's why I went to talk to them.

Fairly low I think. But I've only done 1200 miles which is about 1800km in the last 8 months.

5000km lets you do about 96km a week

Commuted to work yesterday in the worst conditions! 130kph winds and rain. Today's new features include no passenger sidelight, passenger headlight as dim as a candle, indicators no longer flash on unlock. Oh and an occasional weird buzzing noise when braking. Must get that new bomb fitted. Always something new to fix!
Also I'm always surprised at how small it looks between newer cars.

That's some "interesting" wear on the disc.
Was the pad sitting out of place or something else?

The thing I think of here Rob is that your pins are worn and/or binding a bit. Dont have to be out by much to make the pad not sit parallel.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on November 17, 2018, 06:27:47 PM
The pad must be out of place. It still seems to be the same after a drive but isn't binding now. Will take it off again and check/re-grease the pins.

Started following this guide http://audifans.com/mirror/www.isham-research.co.uk/quattro/wiring/Typ85/mac01pin.html
to diagnose the rev limit at 4500rpm. The inlet air temp sensor wasn't so good! It has been fixed before by someone even worse at soldering than me. I melted the solder off and switched to crimps as suggested in the guide. The car definitely feels a bit better and I accelerated up to 6500 in second. I wasn't in a suitable place to go any faster!

Installed at last! I spent ages trying to get the pressure accumulator out using an oil filter wrench and breaker bar but couldn't get a grip. So I asked the internet nicely via Neighbourly and a total stranger lent me his big grips for 15 minutes. Job done! Also it took ages yesterday to locate a turkey baster to drain the fluid before installing.

On the Mk1, I replaced the Mk1 wiper motor with a Mk3 wiper motor.  It was quite easy, just had to match up the wires (same colours between the 2 cars, but each did a different thing) and set the parking location.

Having a look at the parts catalog, the Quattro motor looks similar/identical to the golf motor

Just enjoy driving it for a while then you can add to the list and do more at once lol. The driving is the best part surely? Speedo needed for next wof tho. If it's the plastic gear they were hard to get for the 200s.

That's why I haven't got around to doing the head gasket, I'm reluctant to take it off the road at the moment. I just can't drive it on long trips.
The speedo issue is my wiring which I never went back and did properly.

But it looks so cool!
I was doing 100 and it suddenly went to 48, then zero, and stayed at zero. It's wiring from the sensor which I did a temporary job on and never went back and did properly.

Speedo fixed - the connector on one of the wires had come apart. Have squished it a bit with the crimp tool for a tighter fit and wrapped a load of electrical tape around it as a further temporary fix. I will do it properly with a decent connector!

Can't resist sharing these Facebook memories. Three years ago Just Rust were getting stuck into welding up and repairing the holes in Rusty's bodywork.

Yep. Been there done that. Did the valve stem seals, cam belt, engine mounts and a turbo kit as well because I was in there. It was  harder reading about it than actually doing it. All in the mind. All it took was time.

The head is out!
Almost all of the exhaust manifold studs were loose. I can't find any cracks in the exhaust manifold, which is good. It's pretty mucky and corroded inside.
Dropped the turbo off at Diesel and Turbo in Petone for them to check out.

M18 which is 27mm socket if it is the same an AAN?

If it is the same then this BMW crank bolt may fit if you need one, thread FYI.

https://forums.quattroworld.com/s4s6/msgs/353053.phtml

You got the right head gasket? 7A bore is 0.5mm larger than 20vt so generic Victor Reinz head gasket may not fit (quite right), see thread FYI make up your own mind. **Sorry your engine is not 7A, I am completely wrong I think? Ignore the rest then..

https://forums.quattroworld.com/s4s6/msgs/356298.phtml

I have some spare gaskets from the Victor Reinz 5 cyl head gasket kit (which I just bought) which I think are for the 10 valve (well I don't know what they are for), exhaust and throttle body I think. Can let them go for cheap + shipping. Post pics if you need them and I will see what is spare in the kit.

I found these gaskets on the supercheap website which I think will fit the wastegate. They look similar to the 034motorsports wastegate gaskets, ie: without the fire ring that the OEM gasket has. Should have the car going next weekend so I will find out if they leak or not. Maybe gasket sealer will work if not. For $7 each worth a shot.

Where did all that oil come from, was the wastegate diaphragm torn? So you must have had a massive boost leak?

That's what I wondered too. It's more like oily rust than just oil. I got the wastegate tested and apparently it was leaking. Which is why I bought a new diaphragm.

Bumper off, and it seems the internet is wrong about the crank bolt being 24mm. I don't have a bigger socket, so need to get one. Guessing 26 or 27mm.

It's a weird system that uses the power steering pump and a brake pressure accumulator vessel to provide brake assist, instead of a vacuum booster.

Ok, might have to remote mount the brake booster in mine, wastegate will interfere with it methinks.

I'd love to have it ready but I seem to be missing some gaskets for the turbo oil feed and return. One was discontinued by Audi in 2006! I can't remember if it had them when I took it off, but I can't find them to re-use!! So it's looking unlikely.

Otherwise I'm doing bits and pieces each night. It's like a very oily and expensive puzzle kit.

To hazard a guess they should be the same as used on the AAN k24 7000 and others but I have not checked your application.

Now if only the damn pipe would go on with the turbo in place!! Won't quite go over the studs. Need to disconnect the other end but it's a total pig to get to the bolts.

Finding TDC. Got the bottom end right but top I'm not so sure about. Have requested help from Pete, who knows a lot more than me.

I think it's all good now. I got the flywheel at TDC then we lined up the camshaft. The mark on the back of the pulley isn't great and it's not clear exactly what to line it up with. Got the cambelt on and fully turned the engine about 4 times with no issues. Then Pete put the distrubutor on.

I hope I have because...

Got the car to run for a few minutes today after tinkering with the distributor a bit. Looks like I wasted my time yesterday putting the bumpers, grille and lights back in.
I have an oil leak from the turbo feed line - the end I didn't manage to get off but I must have broken the seal. That's going to be a pain as the allen bolt is rusty and rounded. And the water pump started leaking coolant as soon as things got warm. Which is a bit of a mission to get to!
So, fluids back out again!
Bugger.

:D

And it gets worse...

Not 100% sure why coolant is leaking from the water pump. Have tightened the bolts a little bit in the optimistic hope that I won't have to take the whole thing out again.
The oil leak is coming from the cap screw on the turbo oil feed where the red dot is - I removed it and couldn't get the other out (green dot) so put the red one back in and fixed the problem at the other end of the line. But I must have damaged the threads in the oil filter housing because it just spins.Sigh. I somehow didn't realise when I put it in that it wasn't tight. Maybe because it's such a bugger to get to.  So it looks like the whole thing needs to come off.
Remind me again why i do this stuff? :D

If it is, possibly you have not had it hot enough to 'come into use' and it still contained old oil.

Also found some appropriate tapes. Though the Out of Sight Audio thing seems to have stopped amplifying the output from the tape deck as well as losing most of the volume on the Bluetooth connection. I think I'll remove it and write it off as an expensive mistake.

Re-assembled everything, started the engine, ran it for 3-4 minutes. Oil leaking. Not sure here from. But the turbo was smoking! And the timing is not right - as soon as it gets warm the idle drops and it stalls, then it doesn't want to start. Time to admit I need help from someone who knows what they are doing.

Are you sure the smoke is from an oil leak? I had a lot of smoke from the exhaust when I reinstalled my head and turbo recently (20V engine). It was just residue oil / cleaner and / or the anti-seize that I put on the exhaust fasteners and all burnt off in about 15 minutes.

I also had the same issue you are having with the engine stalling when I dropped the revs to idle. Turns out the throttle cable was a bit tight and the idle valve and / or throttle position sensor threw a fit. After I checked and adjusted the throttle cable it came right.

Did you replace all of the turbo oil line gaskets?

Post by: RobClubley on March 25, 2019, 02:16:17 PM
I think the smoke is just from residue, but I do have an oil leak. Once it warms up a bit I have a drip from somewhere. I just haven't had any time to look at it for the last week or so. So much going on at home.
I re-checked all of the vac lines and connections and they look good. Nothing loose.

It runs much better and will warm start. Got an exhaust leak at the waste gate and it's still dripping oil when warm, and there are a couple of heat shields rattling. So I have work to do.

Good thing she didn't get a grinder out and split the Audi down the middle.
When I was a kid, parent's of a mate of mine split up. She insisted that they get an even split....The dad was a tree feller.  He took a chainsaw to everything they owned and cut it all in half.

Oo that's a bit extreme. We have had a very amicable split, so nothing like that was happening.
But the split is part of the reason that things are moving so slowly with Rusty.
I fired it up this weekend and the metal shield between the block and the cam gear is rubbing on the gear. I tried to bend it a bit in place and made it worse, then my daughter lost a critical piece of Lego so I had to leave the car alone :D
Very tempted to just get it transported to Wellington European and get them to finish things off.

Backed Rusty out of the garage. This happened.

Not sure the water pump is even working properly. I drove down the street and back. Things are not right
I think it's time to get Rusty to Wellington European, and stop putting it off. Because I really don't want to pull it all apart again myself. But I don't think I can really afford that.

I did give it a wash though.

Thanks, yes all is well, been concentrating on a new relationship and trying to get the house and my life under control :)
Finally took a few hours off work today and spent some of it starting to get back into Rusty.

First time I've touched Rusty in 3 months, apart from the odd pat on the rear as I passed :)
Pulled the secondary radiator out, will bypass it for now, run the engine and see if I can see exactly where the coolant leak is coming from. While I was in there I also changed the thermostat.

Well I think that proves that sometimes a little lube is needed to do the job!
All back together and it holds pressure. Yay!
Except I put the power steering pump back in then realised I hadn't re-fitted the secondary radiator. Couldn't summon the energy to re-do that tonight as it's getting late.

Out of the garage again for insurance valuation. Any excuse for a few quick phone pics.

Had a quick run down the road and back. First issue was fuel pump not running - wiggled a wire and that came right so I need to fix that !!
Then at the bottom of the street I stopped and it stalled at idle. Coaxed it back to life and got back to my drive and stalled again. It took 5 mins to get it to re-start with half the car sticking out into the road. Fun!
Also when it hits boost it's pulling back, so something isn't sealed properly I suspect. Maybe the BoV.
I'm going to get it transported to Wellington European next week for an expert to fix

Out for a sneaky run to the pie shop after my mate Peter found a very small vac leak, which seemed to be part of the running issues. I found a broken wire to the air intake temp sensor. After fixing those it idles and runs without stalling. It makes rather wonderful whooshing and dumping noises too but is holding back under boost.

What happens is when you brake there's a kind of vibration in the pedal, there's a pump noise, the pedal feels hard, and no braking happens. turn off the ABS and all is well.

WoF man said remove the warning light from the dash, LOL. That is a possibility - removing the ABS and just having non-ABS brakes, and getting the car certified that way.

I pulled the plug out of the ABS computer and the braking is fine. Not a WoF solution though. It's likely sensor spacing or wiring. Or dirt in there somewhere, thought it has all been apart and cleaned. I've tested sensor resistance and they're all in spec.

The dash only fires up if I hold the reset button. Been told that this is normal behaviour when ignition is off, meaning I may have a broken switched live to the dash.

Somewhere in here lies my problem, probably.

Seats out !
For two reasons - get to the wiring more easily and the car has developed a really pungent smell inside - which I think must be coming from the seat foam as I've replaced everything else, and will be related to its 10 years of sitting around and previous housing of rodents.
The foam is also starting to break down into powder so I need to get it sorted. It's so bad that after sitting in the car for 10 minutes, just standing next to my partner started to trigger her asthma. Bit of a concern!

Once the lockdown is over get the seats to the Kohls and they can replace and reshape the foam, it's not difficult and they did my Mk1 Scirocco seats. You can pick the density of the foam as well, which make the sidepolsters nice and firm. One thing to keep in mind is to check the seat heater if you got them. When I fixed my quattro driver seat the heater element was stuffed.

Yep I've talked to them and Danny mentioned maybe a steam clean but I'd be happier with new foam.

Wow Rob, that wiring is something else. I'd be looking to sort through that and tidy that up.
I'm not surprised you're having electrical issues, as often the case there will have been many people in there before you.
Wiring actually takes a lot of effort to sort out.

Some of that soldering looks a bit suspect. In particular the 8520 transistor bottom left. Dry joints? Someone's been in there before too.

This is my intake air temp sensor which after some troubleshooting a while ago I assumed was faulty. The car cuts boost at about 4500rpm.
Working with Neill at roissy.co.nz today we cleaned and tested the sensor, and proved it's working as it should. Back to the drawing board there!

I think Neill may have gone a little overboard with his Patrizia voice synthesiser diagnostic system.
Very clever and very cool.
Still pinning down exactly what inputs she wants, she's very particular, but we're working her out.

The blue/white switchy thing is so he can provide every possible input into the voice system and make sure it's working. It seems to be, though he's waiting for a replacement for a multiplexer chip he thinks is faulty. All capacitors have been replaced.
He's also getting a reader to back up the voice EEPROMs so in theory he could manufacture a replacement once he has it all sussed.

The voice system itself has about 25 phrases for various things that were a replacement for lots of warning lights or buzzzers. It's pretty cool 80s tech.

Patrizia now has her own speaker, mounted at the back under the driver side dash.
She's constantly chatting about checking oil level, and wants me to check my brake pads.

Based on some initial research, wiring diagrams and a Classic-Audi forum post from Darron Edwards from 2012 🙂
There's a .25 BAR oil pressure switch with a single wire which it uses to trigger the warning, that connects to delay relay 234 under the dash. That in turn links to Patrizia for the voice warning and to the digital dash to turn on the oil pressure warning light.
Next step is to check that relay, wire continuity from the sensor, and to the dash and patrizia.

Hmm, relay unplugged, no oil light on dash but Patrizia gives the warning. Relay plugged in I get both. Definitely have connectivity from oil pressure switch to relay.

In the day there was an regular Audi AG service publication called a self study programs (SSP). Of the many distributed to the Audi network there was one dedicated to the urquattro oil pressure monitoring system. The system also monitors engine speed relative to oil pressure via the two sensors in order to initiate a warning activations. The tart screaming from the dash is nothing more than a gossip with little intelligence I?d unplug her and continue diagnose the fault.

Failed the WoF - ABS light came on during the test drive.
Brake light was fixed with contact cleaner. Haven't checked headlight yet.
And it seems the odometer lighting bulbs have gone off again. Easy fix :)

Taped them up for now. Checked the ABS relay too and it's all correct as far as expected input and output voltages.

So I'm kinda over it now. I've dropped the car at Auto Brake and Clutch who fixed Takas' ABS a while back.

Always good when the business owner says "You know it won't be cheap, right?"

Soo update - they basically said there's little to no chance of fixing the ABS and recommend piping it out and removing the rest.

It's more that they could spend ages tracing a fault, fix it, highlight another fault, and end up with $$$ spent and either it's still broken, or I've still got 80s ABS :D
So I'm thinking bugger it, simplify it, move on.
Cert process seems okay, the local guy seems pragmatic and has given me some advice. Around $650 though on top of the other work.

On the plus side - weight saving bro!

i was gonna go that route, i think with the cert the fact you can opt to turn the abs off if you decide and that is an option from factory will make it easier to get a cert....well that was my understanding but i could be wrong. i kinda liked not having abs, it's not a deal breaker....just means you have to be on to it....love to come along to that meet at southwards.....

Rob as you say move on... but to a an authorised Bosch agent who designed and manufactured the system. Diagnosis is by way of a test procedure using a Bosch ABS KDAS 0003 tester. The tester interfaces between the ABS harness 35 pin plug and the pump. It measures all wheel (4) reluctor/sensor input signals and systematically activates the ABS Pressure pump and individual holding solenoids and confirming overall pump operation. Also incorporates a full combi relay test.

There is nothing unique to Audi this was a Bosch system, provided under license, just as it was used by Porsche, BMW or MB. With a suitably skilled tech this is a 2 hour labour charge.

Seek out your local Bosch Agent and a KDAS tester... or equivalent part VAG 1710

Please .. if you do elect to remove the system I would be interested in purchasing some of your redundant components provided they are not removed with wire cutters.

Is there anyone with the correct tooling in New Zealand?

Right now I'm kinda over it, I just want my car road legal and don't want to have to keep fixing an electronic system from 1984 when all the parts were discontinued in the 90s.

Post by: le mans on September 26, 2020, 07:42:25 AM
Anything Electronic in Nelson repaired the ABS controller in my 1990s tech A4 earlier this year. It?s been perfect ever since. I note my recently sold B5 S4 had also had the ABS controller repaired and also the guy that bought my car said he?d had the ABS controller on his previous B5 A4 repaired, so there is a trend there. Of course the controller in the UR will be different and may or may not be as susceptible to failure but food for thought. The cost of repairing my ABS was about the same as the cert you?re considering. So frustrating chasing those last little niggles but gosh it sounds like you?re really close now.

Post by: 80 Vert on September 26, 2020, 03:47:18 PM
Tend to agree with repair rather than replace. Are they saying it's non repairable due being too lazy to fix it or have they found the problem and there's no parts?
I'm with LeMans, Anything Electronic has repaired dozens of mk3 abs units for me over the years.
All cracked dry solder joints.
Recently I repaired Filxs abs in his 944, similar system. This was due to a non op relay on the pump.
These early systems are very basic and there's tons of diagnosis info on the net.

what's the part number.  857907379 or 857907379B?

They are a common enough part and they do not fail the way that later types do

on almost all quattros up to 1987 when an extra sensor was added and part number changed

Thing is with this car, it's far from original. The paint, upholstery, carpet are all aftermarket, and I'm considering an EFI conversion.
Another possible option with brakes is some sort of aftermarket braking system, Wilwood maybe. New MC and calipers to make it stop better than it ever has. But that would get expensive.

well the part numbers are above, and so is the link to what I myself would consider a very cheap option for a replacement part, albeit with a chance the part is bad. Postage from Germany or thereabouts is cheap

... or find one from an early 100Q or 200Q, pre-1987.  Unfortunately the 2 x 200's that I have here are both a few months too new and have the later version module. Someone in here should have one from those models?

I'm still torn between fixing or removing. Taking the Ohakune WITW meet out of the picture, because that's an arbitrary time pressure :)
Removing means it can't break again, or continue to be unreliable.
Lots of old cars don't have abs.
But it is a factory feature.
But then so was the original carpet, upholstery, paint, heated seats, stereo, and they're gone.

It can't be that hard to locate the correct controller from a pre-1997 200Q or 100Q.  Should not cost a lot and it's the fastest way to diagnose in my experience

I will be surprised if the fault does not in fact turn out to be a wheel sensor

Driving Rusty reminded me about the rather annoying rev cut about 4000rpm and I decided to have a quick look at it using this guide.
http://www.intendedacceleration.com/tip_2.html
Well the idle switch works, and the air intake temp sensor, but the metal leaf on the full load switch was bent meaning it would never switch, and I'm missing the throttle adjuster clip (my mistake I'm sure) which means I can't actually apply full throttle.
The full load switch isn't connected to the ECU so that's not the issue, everything else seems to check out.
Next step, more tests:
https://audifans.com/mirror/www.isham-research.co.uk/quattro/wiring/Typ85/mac01pin.html
I've also jacked up the car and put it on stands to test out the ABS more fully. Watch this space!

Clips on the way from Classic Quattros.
Tested the resistance of the ABS sensors - fronts 1050 and 1058, rears 1117, 1122. So pretty close.
Spinning the wheels changes readings very slightly.
With ignition on I'm getting 11.2v to the switched live on the ABS, which could be a part of the issue. Not sure why but slightly low voltage seems to be common around the car even though the battery is good.
I removed and re-seated the 4 sensors again. Wasn't sure the front left was in properly so I put the car back on the ground and went for a test drive. AS soon as I get over 30kph the ABS disables.

They have new plastic caps. So I'm pushing them in as far as they'll go - until the rubber o-ring engages. Then a little tap with a rubber mallet to make sure :)

I don't think 11.2v will help things at all.
What does that reading do when the engine is running?
Does your pump have the 2 relays on top?

I thought the caps were not supposed to touch the reluctor rings, but just close as can be? and that the readings from the  sensors needed to be the same on all 4 corners....maybe put a feeler gauge in between the ring and the sensor gap when fitting so they are all the same?

Yeah it's all a bit tricky, and they're not easily accessible. Not sure if there's access for a feeler gauge.

My understanding has always been that the caps function as follows:

You push them all the way in till they touch. Then when you drive the car they are designed to wear the tips of the plastic off, and then the adjustment is correctly set

I was in Ohakune this weekend so popped over to Smash Palace for a little pick over the Coupes they have there. Got a nice condition dash surround and some spare switches.
I went there about 3 years ago and pulled quite a few parts off the white Coupe Quattro but didn't have enough cash for everything. They put a pair of Frankani tail lights aside for me and I planned to collect them soon after. When I called back they couldn't find the lights, they were somewhere upstairs, which as you can see from the photos is a rather packed Aladdin's cave of car parts. I called a year or so later and had a look myself, no luck, so I assumed they had been sold to someone. This time I thought I'd have one more look, and after 15 minutes going over every shelf with my phone torch, right at the end I spotted them on the floor!
Absolute score, and they're better than the ones I have, except for a hairline crack on the side of one. But I am very pleased!

Ebay's just the easy go-to :)

I suspect it was me that did that somehow, even though I know I used caps. Somehow that one didn't have a cap when I pulled it out to check a while back so maybe somehow the cap came off and was eaten by the wheel, or I had an expensive blonde moment.

So over it now, tempted to implement a solution that will ensure the ABS light doesn't come on at the WoF *cough* and worry about it all later.

I was in Ohakune this weekend so popped over to Smash Palace for a little pick over the Coupes they have there.

interesting tracking the final days of those coupes.
i saw them in 2016.
the grey one is new ?

Well done Rob, and what a car it is!

Regarding the boost cut issue you?ve had I wonder if it could be something as simple as a damaged/crushed vacuum line going into the ECU? Whatever it is I suspect it?s one little thing causing it. Does the UR have a boost cut function based on a temperature input? It?s apparently quite a common problem in the slightly newer S2 era cars. MFTS sensor I think it?s called. Common to fail. Wish a new a bit more about the engine management on these awesome URs.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on October 31, 2020, 06:41:56 AM
The ecu is pretty basic. I've replaced the vacuum lines, I do keep hearing a whistle, wondering if there's a small leak on boost.

There's an intake air temp sensor and engine speed sensor. If either is faulty it can cause this. The intake sensor seems okay and I've checked connectivity.
The other I haven't traced yet, connections to it seem okay.

I re-checked the intake air temp sensor - wiring is good to the computer and showing 22 ohms across the terminals.
I also replaced the dodgy looking terminals to the throttle switch and checked continuity and operation of both switches.

(https://scontent.fwlg3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/123138163_2943033715796905_8224252700792438059_o.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=2&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=cxiTIkAX57AAX8hIRt-&_nc_ht=scontent.fwlg3-1.fna&oh=699cb55d99b39cc5d933e4f1e54204da&oe=5FC5440A)

Then I found this
http://www.audiurquattro.de/ecu/check.htm

To check the speed sensor, remove the plug from the ecu and connect an LED across terminals 11 and 24.Crank the engine over with the starter.
If the Led flickers on cranking the sensor AND wiring are good.

All good

Checking the reference sensor is similar. Connect the LED across
terminals 12 and 13 of the ecu connector. Crank the engine over, the led should flicker. If it doesn't, check the wiring.

This one didn't flicker.

Once I pulled it out it appeared the wiring was damaged on the sensor. So maybe this is the source of the problem.

I went back to re-check and the sensor that I pulled out with wiring repairs is the one that tests as working with the LED method. That's the speed sensor.
The other sensor lower down is the TDC sensor. Wiring continuity is good to the connector from the ECU plug, and the engine won't fire with TDC sensor disconnected, so it is doing something, but it fails the LED test.

The good news is oil pressure is good.
Patrizia still warns about oil pressure even when disconnected from the pressure switch. The switch opens when engine has pressure, so if Patrizia was warning based only on this switch she should have shut up with it disconnected.

It?s called dynamic oil pressure monitoring system. You so under estimate this woman Patrizia?s intelligence and ability to multi task... that German minx is not only monitoring pressure at idle she?s looking for a set pressure above a specified rpm.

I'm not sure she is though. I found a wiring diagram for 84 Patrizia which agrees with what I have and my loom, and only has the one low pressure sensor.

Bit of progress. At 4000ish RPM I'm hitting 12PSI of boost. Factor manual says max boost should be no more than 10.2PSI. So maybe I have the wrong wastegate spring. Or wastegate isn't working correctly.

Could be onto something Rob. Still, 12PSI @ 4000rpm sounds in the ball park if 10psi is specified @ 5500rpm. I know it?s not an apples with apples comparison but my RS2 hits max boost at around 3700-3800rpm and tapers off after that. It would be good to find out when the overboost cut activates on the URQ.

Great photos.

Does the car rev past 4000 at part throttle or does it still hit a limiter?

It only cuts when it's loaded which is why I'm thinking overboost.



I love the look of these tyre valves, but this one decided it would only let air out when the cover stuck in place.
Bugger that, changed back to a standard valve 🙂
Thanks to Jason at The Tyre Clinic Porirua for sorting it and not charging for the privilege.

Just over 200 miles covered since the WoF. I think I've fixed the Check Oil Level warning, and as far as I can tell it was just poor contacts on the relay as since the last time I pulled the relay out and put it back a couple of times doing diagnostics, the oil light is off and the warning has stopped during driving. Now she natters about checking brake pads (the wires from the pads don't have anywhere to plug into) and occasionally tells me brake lights not working (they are) and please refuel. Talking of fuel I recon I've averaged about 14.5l/100km, but lots of school runs and stuff.
My speedo and a few other bits stopped working the other day. After a bit of mucking about I traced it to a broken earth wire on the relay that activates my little switched life fuse box that powers a few bits and bobs. Including the speedo sender.
I had a hissing in the footwell after a drive up to drop the ozone generator off. The pipe the ECU uses to measure boost had split at the end and fallen off.
Then finally I did the school run yesterday and turned the key to go home.. nothing, totally dead. I traced that to a failure of my own - when fixing the boost pipe issue I'd pushed a wire out of the way a little, just enough for it to catch on the steering column, wrap around and snap the wire. The one that leads to the starter relay.
Kneeling on the ground in the rain and wind rigging a temporary fix to get home was not much fun!!
I've done some better cable management and cable-tying now.

300km round trip up to Manfeild yesterday with my daughter. The car ran really well, even when stuck in 40 minutes of stop-start traffic on the way back.
I definitely have an exhaust leak which might be what's causing the overboosting/4k rev cut. Which meant we had to have the windows and sunroof shut and rely on the fan. It got a bit hot.
But a great day, and we got to do a couple of lunchtime cruise laps around the circuit which was awesome.

Hope he doesn't mind me lifting the shadows slightly to bring out the rear end details on Rusty!

I noticed a hissing from the footwell by the ECU - turned out the replacement braided rubber vac hose I did a couple of years ago had split at the end.
I've replaced it from the manifold with silicone hose and that fixed it. Better replace all the ones I did in the engine bay too.

Changed the rocker cover gasket. I wasn't sure if it was leaking or not, or if it was related to my boost issue but I had a spare and it's a quick job.
No difference to the drive.

Have ordered one of these kits...

https://kjetkillers.pl/en_US/c/audi-5cyl/45

In other news Rusty is at Wellington European.
Diagnosis so far - the brake high pressure line is leaking slightly, will be replaced, and the wastegate doesn't seem to be working correctly.
And front subframe bolts had started to loosen - the polybush metal inserts were slightly long meaning when I tightened the bolts they weren't sitting properly.

Hey Rob, when I had boost control issues in my RS2 (when I first bought it) I had a tuning shop tell me it was likely the wastegate. It turned out to be messed up boost control plumbing, the wastegate was fine.The only other boost issue I?ve had is a leak at the inter cooler connection. Just food for thought.

Rusty has been at Wellington European for a couple of weeks, I dropped it off with a list, which grew slightly as they started work.
Suspension knock on full lock was caused by the subframe polybush metal inserts being slightly too long so I had torqued the bolts against the insert, not the body itself. This left play in the subframe. They're shortened now.
The high pressure line from the brake booster was slightly leaking, so that line has gone off to have a replacement made locally.
They're looking at the oil leaks now.

But the big news is that it's finally boosting as it should, no more 4k rev cut !!

It was caused by corrosion inside the wastegate making it stick, plus the banjo bolt connecting from the intake manifold was corroded, meaning it was tight but leaking and causing a vacuum leak.

I'm so excited now about driving the car again.

I'm really happy with the work so far. The suspension knock on full lock is gone, and it feels better to drive.
Boost cut issue is solved, and they've corrected the timing so it runs much more smoothly than before, and revs all the way up to 6000+It feels more responsive and sounds sublime.
The main oil leak was from the rocker cover - it was a little warped and needed persuading back into shape.

Bad news is that an hour's driving and fully warming things up highlighted a couple more oil leaks from the sump gasket and oil temp sender. It's also slightly leaking power steering fluid, which is a new feature. I have a new gasket which I'll give to WEEU to fit. Have dropped the car back to them today.

We're getting there!!

Good luck... I have been waiting for parts ex Germany (cables etc. to replace mk1 cabrio roof) since beginning of January (DHL) and still not here. Parts for my Lancia took 4 months (early November to end of Feb) ex Italy. Both orders landed in Australia in less than a week, then sat there in transit for 3+ months. Maybe just unlucky but not sure it can be just coincidence...

Oil pumps!
Mine is pretty munted, needs replacing.
My parts diagram says 134 105 115A
The pump on the car is 134 105 109
Search those numbers on Ebay and everyone seems to say that 134 105 115 A,B,C,D are equivalent.
Autewo.de have a 109 for 400 Euro ish delivered to NZ. But They say it's also 134 105 115C.
Confused.
If I have to pay $700+ for the right part I will but if I can get one for a third that I'd prefer to.

Have ordered a pump listed as 134 105 115 A/B, Febi Bilstein aftermarket part for almost $700 including postage and taxes.
The supplier in the UK checked the VIN and has confirmed fitment, and if for some reason it doesn't fit they will cover return postage.

Nice little drive followed by a wash.
No problems at all, lots of smiles from me.
Nothing broke.
All fluids stayed in their proper places.
Really happy with Wellington European's work.

A mate and I had a good feel around the carpet and it is damp underneath the passenger side carpet. So something?s definitely leaking there and it must be the source of the musty smell.

I will put up with it for a little longer, don?t want to strip the interior out yet as I have a couple of events to go to in the next few weeks.

Great drive yesterday with the Wookies In the Wild guys. 270km over the Remutaka Hill to Lake Ferry. Gorgeous day and Rusty ran beautifully. Unfortunately when I checked the drip tray this morning we have a new leak. Sigh.
Everything Wellington European
did is dry and good, looks like maybe the rear seal.
Always a challenge, this car.

Another drive on Sunday and everything seems pretty good.
When it gets warm it leaks oil from the rear of the engine.
I've decided to leave it alone until after the Wookies meet in Ohakune in 2 weeks. Fingers crossed :D

Wookies in the Wild Episode IV - Return to Ohakune

I've promised to take my quattro to a Wookies event four times, and each year I have failed and attended in my daily. This time I was determined to make it, with my project car.

(https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/184179779_3444302865669985_2611100256248206895_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=4E7LvW-loiQAX_8_u9y&_nc_ht=scontent-syd2-1.xx&oh=5ee68291c395cffcc967b729559de377&oe=60C8512F)

It was with great excitement and some apprehension that I set off on the weekend trip to Ohakune in Rusty, knowing that I still had an oil leak from the back of the engine somewhere, and having only driven about 300km since Wellington European did lots of work - new oil pump and gasket, cam and crank seals, sump gasket, boost leak fixed, fuel filling issue looked at, new coolant, oil and filters, leaking brake line replace, the list goes on...

First stop was to meet up with the Wellington Wookie crew at BP where I put in $175 of 98RON and stopped before the tank was full! It was way easier to get fuel into the tank than before but there's quite a strong smell of petrol inside the car so I still have something to fix there.

(https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/185101002_3444302745669997_4418982851565486744_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=6DkHlp8SyvEAX9BhBKh&_nc_ht=scontent-syd2-1.xx&oh=a4e9c5f3b8a86a12d15c83b6f30a4bdf&oe=60C6D6FC)

The rest of the trip went mostly well, Rusty cruising nicely along the highways. I discovered it has a flashing warning on the dash after 2 hours' driving to tell you to rest. Pretty advanced for 1985. The car has a strong tendency to tramline, following the slight ruts in the highway made by heavy trucks. Something modern cars seem to have overcome. I do have lowered springs, big wheels and harder bushes, so probably doesn't represent how a standard ur might feel. It does make my car pretty tiring to drive.

(https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/184372675_3444302799003325_595711555389022473_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=-PqUN0_AQIoAX-Wmvu9&_nc_ht=scontent-syd2-1.xx&oh=4432ceeab52d08717f24b31e577f7a88&oe=60C79F88)

We had planned a break in Mangaweka, about 2.5 hours from Wellington, and by then Rusty was holding back on acceleration over 4k RPM as though I had a boost leak again. After 20 minutes or so of cooling off, I had a look around the engine, but couldn't see anything amiss. I slightly tightened the wastegate banjo bolt as that had been the source of the previous boost leak. The rest of the way everything was back to normal, so either it was a heat thing or that bolt.

We arrived in Ohakune in plenty of time for the evening meal and to reconnect with Wookie driving friends.

Next day was the main Wookies event: a relaxed breakfast followed by a cruise up the mountain from Ohakune to Turoa Ski Field. Then back down, around to the other side of the mountain, lunch by the chateau at Whakapapa village, up to the Whakapapa ski field, then back to camp for a barbecue. Interspersed with lots of parking up, taking photos, laughter and socialising.

Driving up that first tree-lined twisty road was a sublime experience. The 80kph limit is plenty to have a great time in an old sports car. Leading the pack up the hill, the inline-5 on song and the turbo whooshing, wastegate chattering, blipping the throttle on downshifts, taking pleasure in timing it just right. Awesome. The quattro is front-heavy and has a tendency to understeer, which you can combat by being on the throttle sooner than you would in other cars. I soon found the rhythm of it, revelling in the feeling of grip, power down all the way around the corners. Not worrying how delicate my old car might be, just going for it and loving the experience.
It was here that I discovered another feature - the rev counter flashes to warn you to change up :) All too soon we were standing at the top, enveloped in cloud, shivering in the icy wind.

The rest of the day was a similar blur of driving and socialising. Great times, great roads and great people.

This event is a great concept - pick a place where where everyone has to make a trip to get there. Then just spend the day doing nothing but driving and socialising. Friendly, relaxed, no silliness, no racing or anything like that, but some excellent roads for a cruise.

I'm happy to say the quattro made the whole trip with no real issues. I've expanded my list of things to fix - rattles, creaks, dim rear light bulbs etc etc, but everything important was good. When warm it drips - brownish-gold, looks, smells and feels like oil, but none of the fluid levels are reducing. So that's a mystery. It doesn't smell unpleasant enough to be gear oil.

850km driven, 750 or so on state highways, 100 up and down twisty mountain roads up to 1600m elevation and back. About 12l/100km consumed.

On the Sunday I popped out for morning coffee and to take a photo with the Ohakune carrot.

It was a beautiful clear morning and on a whim I decided to take one more drive up Mt Ruapehu to Turoa Ski Field. Not an opportunity to miss especially when it was so quiet.
I was in quattro heaven on the twisty empty road, windows down listening to turbo and 5 cylinder noises when suddenly there was a blue Ferrari 328 on my tail! How could this get any better?
I pulled over on a straight section and he howled past me with a glorious wail.
At the top I found not one but a whole group of Ferraris and other sports cars. I joined in their group at the end, subtle like. It was a Wellington car club on a weekend run. Absolutely awesome!

Then back down the hill to breakfast and to say goodbye to the Wookies crew before driving back to Wellington.

?dim rear light bulbs etc etc?

Suggest you get some LEDs, make sure the stop & tail are red ones and the indicator amber ones. (May also need a different flasher unit)

Grr FB has broken the image links again.


Went for a drive to the shops, called in at Armstrong Audi for a chat, and they offered me the keys to their demo RS6. Wow what a car! It has always been one of my dream cars, so I wasn?t going to turn down a drive! Effortlessly, ballistically, fast, see a gap, lightly prod the throttle and the gap is 200m behind you. All in total luxury. Love it! Anyone fancy loaning me $227k?

I love a simple fix. My sub has had a vibration since I installed it in the Audi, gradually getting worse, and I assumed it was some loose trim somewhere in the car. Finally had time for a look, took sub cover off, unscrewed it from its 38mm of mdf mounting, tested, still making the noise. Oh no I thought, my trusty 10 year old sub is broken. Then I realised the centre cap was what was moving, it had come unglued from the cone. I gently prised it off, tested again. Epic bass noises, no vibrations. Result!

It's called a dust cap for a reason - don't operate it for long until you glue it back on again

Of course, because old car, something?s wrong with the wiring to the right side. Brake lights work, not tail lights.

Hahahaha so funny. After 90 minutes of multimeter testing, scrabbling around the footwell, then reading wiring diagrams, it was a fuse. Yes there appears to be a fuse that serves just one tail light.

That?ll be why my car smells of petrol after filling up! When petrol bubbles up the filler, which it does a lot, any overflow goes down a hole which I assumed went into the tank. Well no, it?s supposed to go down a vent pipe through a grommet to the road! Except on my car it goes into the boot.

Lockdown retail therapy. Dashcams fitted. Great service and very fast delivery from Te Rapa Auto Electrical 2020
Wiring was really simple - live, earth and switched live. I just plumbed it into the mess already there 😃
Everything was going great until I changed the WiFi password on the camera - as recommended in the instructions - I used an @ sign in my password which it seems it can't handle well, and translates to "%40" then truncates the end of the password. It took me a while to work that out - fortunately the desktop software reads the settings and shows the password in plain text so I was able to log back in and change it to a simpler one.
We're still in lockdown so a test drive will have to wait a while but quality looks good on initial tests. The camera talks to you though, hope camera lady doesn't get into a battle with Patrizia the voice diagnostics lady.

Story time?
My OEM rain deflector looks a bit sorry for itself, with splits and cracks in the plastic. A few months ago I found this reproduction part in Russia, via EBay Germany. I ordered the part and after about 10 weeks it got to New Zealand, delayed by the Evergiven issue in the Suez. It got to New Zealand, then from Auckland to Porirua about 15km from me. Then NZ Post said the box was damaged and immediately returned it to sender. About 8 weeks later it got home to Russia, and though the box looked like it had been jumped on, the part inside was undamaged. So frustrating!
I messaged the seller and he wanted to refund my money rather than re-send as it was a lot of hassle. Then he checked out my Instagram and saw how much I love old Audis, and decided to make sure the part got to me. Being a handy sort of guy, he bought wood and made a custom shipping crate!
Only four weeks this time and it got to me unscathed.
The part fits really well and is 10x better quality than the original part.
Thanks to Denis from @brgarage_team for taking the time and effort to get this to me. I really appreciate it.

Oh yes and - after chatting with one of the previous NZ owners I learned a couple of bits of history I didn't know. I knew the car had had a rear-end accident at some point, the boot lid isn't original, but I learned it was hit hard from the back when parked in Wellington, shortly after the red leather interior was done.

An Auckland bodyshop reckoned the roof wasn't original, and my body guy said the same. I'm not sure if this is right because the way it's fitted and welded looks like pics of other cars I've seen, but I'm no expert!

My bodyshop guy said the front was about 4mm shorter on one side than the other so it may also have had a frontal at some point. though everything fits and lines up, as well as any of these 80s cars do :D

So yeah this car has had a life!!

Oh and I got a new insurance valuation last week - the car is finally worth more than I've put into it!!

Headliner is out. Part of the plan to make sure my water leak is fixed. Carpets out next.
Also it?s starting to sag in the back so I want to get it refurbished and re-covered.

These holes in the body are there to accommodate rivets in the sunroof mechanism but in heavy rain they let water in. This foam tape works as an effective gasket and no more leaks! It can?t be the source of the damp carpet so work is ongoing on that.

Had a a laugh seeing those sunroof finger latches. Still remember not getting more than 500 metres from the dealership in my brand new 1982 coupe before one of them snapped right off in my hand when I stopped to remove the roof

Took my head liner and sun roof into #kohlrodandcustom to talk about re-covering them. The vinyl is sagging in the back so it needs sorting.
Interestingly my car was built in December 1984 but my sun roof was made in 1986. The mysteries of old cars!

Today's job was to pull out the carpets with the assumption that they were where the musty smell was hiding. But once they were out and thoroughly sniff tested, they smelled fine.

(https://i.imgur.com/HJJsD17.jpg)

So back in they went. The car is actually smelling better since the head liner came out, and that has some light dusty mould on the back. So I'm now thinking that the slight sunroof leak has been keeping that damp, and it has been retained in the hardboard backing.

Morning Rob,
Just wondering, the sunroof on my car is not raising on one side when operating the handle. I presume the cable has slipped or similar. Do you have to remove the entire headlining to access the mechanism for the sunroof?
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on November 23, 2021, 11:47:50 AM
It's really easy to get to.

Pop and lift the sunroof out and the mechanism is held to the body by about 12 little screws.
Take the winder handle off - 1 screw
Take the plastic handle surround out - 1 screw.
Take screws out around mechanism, the whole thing lifts out. Then you can flip it over and see what's going on.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: GlenT on November 23, 2021, 01:14:10 PM
Ha, the problem is I cannot release one side of the sunroof. When I wind the handle to open, only one side raises. I've tried to release the pull tab on the side that stays down, but she's too tight.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on November 23, 2021, 01:42:14 PM
If you remove the handle and the surround, it might free up the mechanism and allow you to push the sunroof up. Mine has no handle at the moment and I can push the two sides up and down individually and easily.
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: GlenT on November 23, 2021, 02:07:22 PM
Okay, I'll give that a whirl.
I can hear the cable moving on the side that doesn't open. So it must be in the sliding mechanism.

Vinyl stripped off the hardboard backing of my roof lining. Omg!

The plan is to paint with flexible rubber paint to seal it, and then re-cover.

Checking out where the remaining oil leak is. It?s not that clear from the photos but it seems to be coming from between the back of the block and gearbox. So I?m thinking rear main seal. That?s also the only one I haven?t replaced yet. Parts are on their way.

If it's not the rear main seal the only other option is the clutch slave cylinder. It'll leak out the same hole in the bottom of the bell housing. But you'd notice the fluid level dropping in the reservoir.
I've just finished installing a new slave cylinder. Prick of a job. So was replacing the feed hose from the reservoir to the master cylinder. Have to drop the pedal box!

Thanks, the clutch fluid is definitely not going down.
It looks like a reasonably fast drip when I park with engine hot but I've barely had to top up the engine oil. So it's either not as bad as it looks, and just spreading out a lot, or my engine is making oil somewhere.

Went out today to run some errands ($3.06 a litre for 98) and after a while I was getting the overboost issue again. Tightened the banjo bolt again on the wastegate and it improved a bit but I didn?t dare tighten it any more in case it became righty-loosey. It gradually got worse as I drove until I had no boost at all so I called at Lower Hutt Repco where the helpful staff and I found these sort-of-similar copper washers. Problem solved! Full boost is back.

Makes sense Rob. So the banjo fitting was leaking air hence lower half of WG not seeing all the boost pressure leading to WG staying closed and causing over boosting, followed by an ECU boost cut/limp I guess? An easy fix in the end but satisfying none the less! And yeah fuel prices?

Brand new old stock heater core!
A friend came across these in Christchurch and I thought it best to grab one while I could, as mine didn?t look great when I last saw it.

We are getting there!
Various fixes to wiring and one new sensor have got the car starting and running. Everything is back together. Lots of leaks fixed, lots or repairs done. The final hurdle to pass a Warrant of Fitness is a cracked gearbox mount which they are testing to see if it can be welded.

I have to admire your stamina in keeping this project going for so long. I guess you are so deep in it now that there would be little sense in stopping.
Keep up the good work. Would love to see this in the flesh one day.

Thanks, yes many would have given up I think, just one thing after another.

My wife would sell the car tomorrow.

So far that I know of in this chunk of work: gearbox out, replace rear main seal, replace clutch slave, remake leaking clutch line, replace all gearbox input and output seals, replace leaking rear diff seals, repair wobbly gear linkage, replace gearbox output shaft bearing, new clutch friction disc and bearing, machine flywheel, rebuild pressure plate, wheel alignment, fix various wiring issues, new dizzy cap, remake main coil lead, check timing, troubleshoot and fix firing issue, remake leaking low pressure power steering line. Oh yeah and welding that mount.

Probably more stuff. I could have bought a nice reliable older Suzuki Swift for what the bill will be. :D

Edit: And yes I am very keen to get to an Auckland VASK meet one day.

Single mass I think. The one I have is from Audi 200 and is lighter single mass.

This is standard WR one

Soo the Wookies weekend!

The Christchurch and Wellington crews met at Mana BP - which was a financially painful hour or so - it took me about 30 mins to get 71 litres in - I need to look at the tank vents again. I've checked everything over but either something's still blocked or kinked, or there's a design flaw here!

(https://i.imgur.com/DmbmcWC.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/pb3wpGq.jpg)

And I ended up being last-minute transport for a set of 19" BBS wheels from a Golf.
(https://i.imgur.com/XXKJcQp.jpg)

Next stop Bulls, then Taihape, then Ohakune.
On the way to Taihape my speedo was playing up, only reading when pressing the accelerator, going to zero when coasting. It made keeping to the speed limit down hills a bit tricky.
I did a bit of soldering in the BP car park and it was better on the next leg but not perfect.

Day 2 - the main event! Rusty ran really well.
The clutch and gear shift feel much better, handling and steering are massively improved too.
The car sounds great, and had no real issues. Patrizia started telling me "Brake system defective" but everything felt right, no actual brake issues, so I temporarily unplugged the sensor on the brake bomb to shut her up.

Day 3 - home.
All went well on the run home until about 10km away on Transmission Gully in heavy rain and spray I started having boost issues over 3000RPM.
One to investigate once I have time.
Wookies itself was awesome - just a weekend driving around, hanging out with car people, eating and drinking and just having a chill time.

I have solved part of the mystery of the crappy filling experience with pics from a another car.

(https://i.imgur.com/tfvJdei.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/8ZCe272.jpg)

You can see there?s a double outlet going to the vent I have plus a fat one that links back to the filler.

This is mine

(https://i.imgur.com/y1wn49a.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/PTiQVPx.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/scZG51N.jpg)

Single small pipe. It makes sense that the small pipe can?t vent enough air to compensate for the fuel flow.

And my filler tube has been welded up where the connector should be.

How odd!

I know the car was hit hard from behind once when parked and had extensive repairs so maybe the tank is from a different model, or maybe some repair person did this for a reason but it?s weird.

Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on May 31, 2022, 07:21:50 AM
Yay all washers working. As always it turned into a more complex job than expected. The rear washer I had to extend the pipe as it seems to have shrunk with age and wouldn?t reach the pump. The fronts were blocked, and the water smelled funky. It seems to have dried out at some point and formed smelly black slime which has blocked the squirters. Took them off and soaked them in cleaning solution overnight. Had to pull the bottle out and clean it, using bleach to make sure!
And I managed to damage the wiring to the pump so had to repair that too.
It?s never simple!

Well this wasn't much fun to do!
Ran the car until it was flashing E on the fuel gauge then did another couple of trips to the shops. Started by pumping out 5l with a hand pump, helped by my assistant. Then I loosened the pipe to the fuel filter and slowly drained the other 7 litres!
The tank is pretty corroded inside as is the fuel sender.
It's hard to tell if the tank has had a large breather removed or is a different tank. It has an internal pipe at the top but I can't see where that goes.
Sticker says. 857 201 075 M
My parts diagrams have 857 201 075 Q

My tank matches one of the diagrams, though I'm missing the gravity valve. Maybe that internal pipe is a breather that's blocked?

Have it acid dipped Rob, then seal it with Por15 tank sealer. Be good as new as long as no holes appear but even Por will seal tiny pin holes.

I don't think my gauze filter is blocked, assuming it's in there, because fuel flows out fast when I disconnect the pipe to the pump.

Need to watch out if I re-coat the tank inside though.

Christ  :o that tank repair from the link looks a bit hack.
Would it be less trouble to have a custom made fuel cell put in or retro fit an off the shelf fuel cell. However you'd lose some originality but at least everything would be new!

Just a different idea

The gause would get blocked by the tank sealer but in that case i'd acid dip to remove all rust and treat with Por metal ready only. Dry thoroughly and re install.

Expensive, hell yes. Cool, also yes. Certification, no*

"Fitting of or modification to:
Fuel system changes and modifications

LVV certification is not required provided that:

- no structural modifications have occurred to the vehicle during the installation or modification, and
- the fuel type (petrol, diesel) has not changed."

Just a quick dig through LVVTA, but feel free to do your own research :)

Dropped tank at The Surgery for some surgery
https://www.thesurgery.co.nz/

Plan is to cut a hole, remove gauze filter, treat rust and coat the inside, weld a breather elbow on the cut-out piece then repair. Another elbow on the filler and connect with fuel hose. Also there's a small leak in the weld connecting filler to tank which was covered by black silicone !!

Looks like the filler neck isn't original to that tank. I suspect it has been repaired and they've blocked or cut the internal filler vent.

In the meantime, bit of cleanup. The remaining stuff is old rust protection I don't want to scrape off. I also found a seatbelt bolt wedged in the corner!

(https://i.imgur.com/uxc91Pb.jpg)

And some new hoses that actually bend, for the fuel return and breather connection.

Some fun has been had with the tank. Firstly the filling issue. It definitely has an internal  return pipe for air. Fuel goes in through the flap, air out by the pipe above.
The square holes at the top should let air out, round hole for fuel in.
Turns out the rubber flap has gone hard and no longer moves, stopping fuel getting into the tank.

Next the bottom of the tank - the plastic end of the fuel return - which looks nothing like the parts diagrams I have - snapped off as soon as it was touched so that went in the bin. Next job was to cut the bottom and get to that old gauze filter to remove it.

The offending fuel blocker flap and gauze filter.
Gave the bottom of the tank a quick spruce up with wire brush,rust converter and paint just to slow down any surface rust growth in future.

It?s in! Haven't put fuel in yet. Filler neck isn't sitting right, must have moved during welding. Will do some adjusting.

50L in, gauge says E. It did say 9 for a while and was counting down as I drove which was a concern. No leaks just dodgy gauge so I might be looking for one if I can?t fix it. Will pull it out and investigate.
When it had sat level for a while it read 38l which went down to 20 when driving and settled about 34.

Some longer bolts and washers got the filler neck sitting right.

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.

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?
Title: Re: Build thread - Rob's Audi UR Quattro
Post by: RobClubley on July 26, 2022, 09:28:36 AM
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.

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.

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 :D

600km road trip did not go as planned! I made it to my destination with several issues. It started when I hit a bump in the road and immediately lost all boost. Turning the car off and on brought it back. From that point, the car gradually restricted boost more and more as it ran, to the point where after 10-30 minutes of  driving I had no boost and could only cruise at 3500rpm with no throttle. Hills were very tricky. And New Zealand is hilly. Stopping the engine and restarting gave all the boost back each time, until it went away again.
Also I seem to have lost part of a transmission or engine mount.
(https://i.imgur.com/N3Z1TcV.jpg)
Then it started raining hard, and it seems a new feature is that my windscreen lets water in at both bottom corners. Above the wiring and relays at one side and the ecu at the other.
Also the boot is leaking.
So a very frustrating day.
Another #gumbootrally almost attended!

We did the rally in another car so all was not lost.

Interesting trip home!
The car ran flawlessly for the first 2 hours then started to lose boost again. 500km covered with about 12 stop/starts needed and lots of driving with no throttle.

In Tauranga - made a quick trip to meet a fellow quattro owner Andy who kindly gave me a fitting to fix the fuel pump wire, which has been getting a bit warm by the look of it. The crimp is gone, now soldered properly.
It was a long day and I forgot to take a pic of the new wire but it?s much better now 🙂
Not the source of my issues but it can?t have been helping. It has been suggested the fuel pump relay might be part of the issue. Looks a bit corroded on the bottom but inside seems okay. But it turns out Repco do a replacement for $8.99 so that'll do!

Seems the hot wire is common:
http://www.sealtd.net/quattro/pump.html

"Ur's - especially of the WR variety, have a tendency to burn the fuel pump supply wire."

Have fitted a new fuel pump relay $8.99 from Repco :)

Also this is interesting from Facebook comments...

The ECU pulls timing gradually, using the lambda (if your has, mine has, or later cars had knock sensors), so a restart would probably fix a small boost leak, not a huge split.

So possibly a boost leak, will have a look at that when I get chance.

Saturday afternoon jobs.
Removed the hardwired CB I?ve never used. Will wire it to a power plug so I can move it between cars. Reinstalled the original electric aerial. Need to find the other end of its power wiring and make it work. I had to take the back seat and passenger seatbelt mount out to get to the wire, turns out I hid it well 🙂
Had a good spray around the boost pipes with engine start (best product name ever). No changes in engine note so that?s encouraging.
Changed both fuel pump relay and starter relief relay for new ones.
Finally removed the stickers and washed both cars.

No Lamda sensor on K-jetronic. Fuelling is entirely mechanical by fuel distributor and enrichment by WUR for cold starts. All ECU can do is check for overboost (Little tube on ECU going to inlet manifold) and create a miss at 4000 for so called limp home mode. Even in limp home mode 4000rpm in 5th gear should still lose your license for you. Check for fuel pressure and air leaks.

You're right. In my fuzzy memory I would have sworn there was an O2 sensor on the downpipe but there is not! I even went back and double checked all of the photos from when I pulled the head out. :D

Loving the black plates!
Little drive, just under two hours running. No serious boost issues but I get a hesitation/missing around 4000rpm. This seems to be an ongoing thing since I?ve had the car on the road. Hoping new fuel pump and filters will help!
Wondering if it?s just not quite giving enough fuel pressure for full load.

Further things to check - CIS metering plate.
Fuel filter on CIS head (haven't looked for that yet, cant be hard to find :D
Makes sense to check that when I do the fuel filters and pump.

Someone suggested it on FB and I've been thinking about it for a while - is to fit a wideband O2 sensor and AFR gauge. It means removing the downpipe again though to get a sensor bung welded in.

You are right to check the metering plate plate. Mine was seizing after a long lay-up. I won't tell you what I did to free it but it involved wearing a blue and white striped apron! And add the air filter to your list. You've probably replaced that and a collapsed filter is highly unlikely but................. anything that could impede air flow. All said though the fuel pump is the heart of the system and the first place to start. If you like I could lend you a K-jet pressure gauge and fittings set-up, you are only over the ditch from me. Just PM me.

Thanks for the offer, really appreciate it. Will replace the stuff I've ordered when it arrives (mostly from Latvia, some from UK and US) and then if there's still an issue I'll absolutely take you up on it.

I hadn't even thought about the air filter!!
There's a K&N which I have cleaned about 2 years (2000 miles) ago, but I've ordered a couple of standard paper filters. Will ditch the K&N when they arrive.

The stop and restart cure you describe is also a description of a partially blocked fuel filter with a collapsed element. I guess you have one coming especially after the rusty tank episode. Incidentally there is no filter at the fuel distributor just the big canister filter by the rear suspension.

Ah okay - I'd read that there was a small mesh filter at the metering head.
I have replacements on the way for the pre-pump and post-pump filters as well as the pump itself.
Ordered from Latvia via Ebay so will be a couple of weeks :)

I thought my fan was getting tired, turned out it was rubbing on something! But I found this from @ccc_motorsport and it looked cool so I ordered one. Much thinner and several kg lighter than the factory one. Of course Rusty fought me, one of the bolts snapped when I tried to remove it. Sigh.

New fuel pump has arrived from Latvia, and filter from UK. This is a generic filter with 12mm connections that I bought to replace the plastic pre-pump filter. It's a bit bigger than I pictured, lol.

Post pump fuel filter arrived. New rotor arm looked great until I compared to the old one. It has a smaller hole! It seems I have the 83 84 distributor.
Cleaned my one up and I'll search for the Topran one same as I have.

A few highights from Southwards Cars and coffee today.
Met another quattro owner. My car ran really well, cleaning up the dizzy rotor seems to have made a difference. I've ordered a new one.

Got the new filters and pump fitted this afternoon. As always things didn?t go totally smoothly. The filter connections were corroded and needed a bit of WD40 and effort to loosen. The filter was dated 2011! I reassembled everything, tested and fuel sprayed out of the pump. I realised I?d used the wrong crush washers so it was easily fixed.

Thanks, yes good to catch up. Your car did get a yellow friend later - Camaro if I recall.

New paper air filter to replace the ancient K&N. That last clip is a bugger to get on! I ended up using two screwdrivers and a pry bar through the headlight hole. One skinned knuckle and only one dropped screw 😃

Touring Wellington?s op shops!
Rusty is running way better than it ever has since fitting the new fuel pump and filters. Not hesitating, not spluttering at low revs, warm starting quicker. Not threatening to stall when lifting off at low speed.
Very happy!

For the first time in over seven years of ownership I feel I've finally driven my urquattro properly. After repairing and changing so many parts, the final piece of the puzzle seems to have been the fuel pump and filters. It pulls hard to the red line, it doesn't stutter or miss, I can power around bends like a boss, it doesn't threaten to stall when manoeuvring at low revs, I can accelerate from low revs in the wrong gear and it just does it, no hiccups, and it sounds just damning epic.
I don't know quite how to describe the thrill it has given me today but after so many frustrations and so much time and expense, to just get in my car and drive, and enjoy the drive with no problems, not only made me grin like an idiot but actually made me kinda emotional.
It's finally time to enjoy my classic as a daily driver as much as I possibly can.
Until the next challenge :D

but not oem by the look of it

in any event, the later post August 1984 distributor has a 10mm shaft, and the earlier type is 15mm. The 2 rotors you show are not 5mm different, one to the other, are they?   I don't think the problem ever lay in you having the wrong rotor for the later distributor, unless it's just my failing eyesight that makes them both appear to be 15mm?

Bosch 1234332300 (your photo) is the early "B" suffix 15mm type, so if that is fitting properly then you do as you say have a 1984 distributor - but the other rotor in your photo does not quite look like the later one for a 1985 - it is maybe instead just a poor quality knock-off part and/or the wrong sort of centre contact altogether?

later 10mm oem type looks like:

I think this pic is the current vs replacement rotor (both 84 variants, just different brands).  There is an image of the correct (old-84) vs incorrect (new 85) rotors on this thread: http://www.vask.org.nz/index.php/topic,40698.msg469234.html#msg469234  :)

That photo makes more sense. Clearly 10mm vs 15mm

The one with both 15mm is new Bosch one vs. the Topran one that has been fitted to the car since I've owned it.

Topran is just a repackager - their products are no different to average to low-quality Aliexpress

You should try and fit them, the car will drive so much better on them.

That was fun! The screen was still leaking slightly at one corner so the Novus guy and I decided it was best to pull it out, clean up and re-seal. There was a little bit of surface rust under there which I cleaned up as best I could with a wire brush, rust converter and some black paint.

Quite a week of driving!
Rusty is running beautifully, pulling hard up to the red line, no running issues. Third gear overtakes are a joy!
So happy with the way it?s running now.
A 1250km week of driving to work events has been an excellent test.

Back up to Taranaki today with a fully loaded car. I might have overdone the weight a bit, had a few occasions when the rear wheels caught on the arches when the suspension was compressed in dips.

But man this car is fun now! Mid-range is smooth, the car pulls so well! It's really satisfying to drive, especially once you get onto the twistier roads and get into a rhythm with it.
I rarely rev it right out but a couple of times doing third-gear overtakes up hills I was surprised at how it just kept pulling and pulling.
The brakes feel a bit wooden at first but work really well when pressed hard. I usually tend to drive more with the gears than the brakes.
It loves to be powered around corners, stay on the power and it just grips and goes. Grin-inducing every corner.
It just eats up the distance the drive up from Wellington flew by.

Changing the front strut bearing. Amazing how so little movement can sound like the wheel is about to fall off!!
Massive thanks to Takas (Slobburn) for bringing tools and parts and helping me change the bearing before my trip back to Taranaki on Saturday. Had to pop out and get a new tool to get the top nut off.

Using the ur as a daily has been going well. It's driving nicely, and seems to be doing okay on fuel usage too.
It's pretty practical especially since adding the roof rack.

It has been very hot here over Christmas so the lack of aircon makes it a sometimes sweaty driving experience but it's kinda nice to go back to old-school windows-down driving.

I've had no real issues but a few new trim rattles and squeaks have surfaced. I'm getting a slight suspension knock again so need to look at that. Warm starting can sometimes be a little tricky and it often catches then runs really lumpy for a few seconds as though one or two cylinders aren't firing.

I'm on the hunt for some smaller wheels as I can't help feeling that on these country driveways and potholed roads that the 18s are shaking my car apart. I'd love a set of nice 16s but so far all I can find that are the correct fitment are coming in at 4-5 grand for a set and I just can's justify that right now with a newly built house to finish off.

The cheapest, most sensible option is refurb the 15s and run wrongly-sized tyres so I'll pursue that when local businesses re-open after the break.

Possibly related to this, possibly not is that I have developed cracks in my bodywork!
This is very worrying and I will get it sorted ASAP.

Those cracks look a bit ominous although difficult to think that a bit harsher ride would cause that.
Nice setting by the way but not so keen on dusty drives  :(

I suspect it's the angle of the Wellington driveway that caused it - going on 3 wheels every time I went up or down it.
At least we have level access now, though not so smooth!

We're not keen on the dusty drive either, just need to persuade the bank to cough up the $40k we need to get it tar sealed :)

Suspension started knocking again so I pulled the top mount. Bit loose but not super bad but as I carried on to get the strut out I realised the shock was wobbling. Thought I?d broken the shock but it was the silver nut that holds the insert in place. It?d started unscrewing itself, about 3-4 turns!
Now done up to FT.

Talked to a bodyshop about the cracks - estimate $1k for the roof, $500-1k per side for sills as "They might be a can of worms"

One of two things, not full penetration when welded or the metal has been ground down too much making it too thin.
Either way 1000 for the roof is about right depending on what is uncovered. My biggest concern would be paint match.

Paint 350-500 for the roof, leaving 500 to weld up a crack. All depending of course on what is uncovered in the process.

Yep that's pretty much what he said - 500ish for the paint and maybe 1 hour maybe more for the crack as we don't know what's under there, so 500 as a rough estimate.

As for the 15" wheels I've been looking for tyres in an appropriate size and settled on 225/50R15 which are a little larger than stock 215/50R15.
Not much in that size either - there's Kumho Ecsta directional 91H which seem to be fairly well reviewed.
205/50R15 are available but not legal on 8" rim according to LVVTA
https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/infosheets/LVVTA_Info_01-2009_Tyre_Size_to_Rim_Width_Compatibility_Guide.pdf
And 225/45R15 are only available in semi-slicks

Yokohama have their 225/50/15 ADVAN A048.
They're road legal 8)
I run Bridgestone Potenza 225/50/15 GIII's but I don't think you can get that size anymore sadly, as they're a great tire.

Swapped the hazards switch. Turns out I had a spare. It has been clicking the indicator relay but only when hot from the sun and with the engine running. Hoping this sorts it. The other one didn?t light the red light so it has fixed something!
Also took the opportunity to put felt tape around the dash cowl which I hope will cure some rattles.

The issue I have with the random relay clicking when the car has been in hot sun? I tried changing the hazards switch - no joy, went to Supercheap and bought a $65 relay that didn't work - super fast flashing. Took that back, went to Repco cos I was passing this morning and bought a Narva ($45) relay that says it can cope with standard or LED bulbs (I have a mix). This one works perfectly, and is completely silent when flashing. I am going to change the front indicators back to incandescent bulbs though - have ordered some silvered ones so I don't get the fried-egg look on my white lenses. LEDs seemed like a good idea when in project mode but in reality they're just not as good.

This has been irritating me for a little while. The hardboard had started to deteriorate with age and the metal clips didn?t grip it properly. Tried a couple of things to strengthen and glue it together and painted the inside to stabilise the material. Also re fitted the clips on the window wiper seal. Much better.

White was only an original option for winter tyres and the correct colour if you wanted to go that way is Alpine White L90E

Was Zermatt Silver never a consideration?

It feels way smoother and better ride on the quick 10 mins trip from the tyre place to work.

Going NP to Napier this weekend, Auckland next weekend if Ellerslie somehow is still happening, Gumboot Rally round the mountain run the weekend after and Wookies in the Wild Ohakune in March.

Road trip things. About 900km covered this weekend. And around 10l/100km which is impressive for an old turbo nugget.
Hoping the crack can be repaired it?s about 1cm across.
The ride is so much nicer, bridge joins no longer loosen fillings and cause buttock clenching. Noticeably more body roll which is great fun in roundabouts. Less road noise. So hot in 33 degree summer heat! Removing the sun roof panel made a huge difference to comfort levels.

Surely it?s possible to do an oil change without wearing half of the oil.
142,100 miles for when I forget the mileage for next oil change.

Investigating where the oil leak was coming from. It?s not oil it?s power steering fluid leaking from the pump. Also adjusted the right headlight as it wasn?t sitting right.

Power steering pump rebuild kit arrived from Pelican Parts, hopefully I got the correct one. Pump is out, had to break out the big bar, the banjo bolts were done up to FT. I?m going to take the pump to a specialist after reading how it?s done

At least I now have my new sensible daily driver to use.

WoF failed on headlight alignment and a cut in my rear seatbelt! Maybe rodent related? Also my drive shaft bushing is worn so I?ll replace that soon.
Since sitting outside for a week Rusty isn?t running properly - missing and down on power. Not sure what it is yet, maybe electrical, maybe air or vac leak. I suspected spark plugs so did a quick 10 minute new plug install in @repcoauto car park 😃 Smoother running but still not right.

I think it?s pretty clear the seatbelt was chewed by a rodent, and it also found this empty popcorn packet and tried to drag it into the boot. Better have a word with my daughter about leaving food in cars!!  It also ate some of my parcel shelf which fortunately doesn?t show
New belt is fitted, just need to sort out the headlight and get a WoF re-check.

Those &$@ing headlight adjuster clips!
Took Rusty for a WoF re-check, we got the headlight adjusted just right then ?ping!? The clip flew off. At the back of headlight that has to come out to get to the clips. At 4:58pm. So I had to come home again with no warrant of fitness. Third time lucky!

(https://i.imgur.com/W9Y5iQj.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/XHfxeAW.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/luDDy1M.png)

Success! It took another 45 min of taking the headlight out and re fitting to finally get it right. Running issue also sorted it was cylinder 2 plug lead. Will tidy later but it no longer sounds like a Subaru.

Road trip to Wellington and back, Rusty performed well. I took the Azev wheels down for a guy who said he wanted to buy them then he ghosted me so I brought them back again!
Stayed in a cottage in the middle of Nga Manu bird sanctuary which was awesome!

First drive in Rusty for 2024, with #charlie and my dad who's over in New Zealand for Christmas along with my mum and sister. He said it was "A white knuckle ride". Not sure if that's the car or my driving.
The car has been in a storage unit for 4 weeks and I disconnected the battery but left the charger connected. Rookie mistake, apparently. Turns out the battery had been leaking too. Always new things to fix.
