I would start with the linkage and make sure it's moving correctly. There's a pivot point pretty much right on top of the transmission that has a plastic insert that wears out. It's a common failure...

Any update? I'd be reluctant to sell a really nice 5+5 just because most of the time it's people looking to cut it up to make a SportQ. And many of those will never get around to it, so the car will...

Yeah, the relay gets a signal basically through the hall sender in the distributor (which can definitely go bad), so anything weird in the ignition system can affect the fuel pump. It's also pretty...

Dang, I need a windshield for my 4kq so bad, too. It's so sandblasted and has a pretty bad crack so I don't drive it much these days. Can confirm that they're very hard to find. I'm still kicking...

Yeah, you'll just have to see where in the circuit you stop getting power. Also keep in mind that the Hall sensor inside the distributor (under the rotor) is part of the circuit. If that goes bad...

I'm fairly certain these would work for any B2 Audi. Does anyone object to that statement?

I would definitely be interested in one set for my 4000. One of the hoses has been leaking for years. I'm...

Ho boy, it's a deep dive when you start learning about the fuel system on these. To answer some of your questions, the distribution block on the airbox matches the amount of fuel going to the...

Value is tough with these cars. Someone might pay $1,000 for a brand new head, but you may never find that someone who needs one. One thing I've learned as an owner of old Audis is that rare does not...

Technically you can put any Audi 5-cylinder head on any 5-cylinder block, even 20v on a 10v. Depending on the combo it might have a benefit or no benefit. I would imagine if those are correctly...

You can always order a 3D print from Shapeways too. I've always liked their service. Sometimes it's expensive, but regular nylon or other plastic is usually pretty reasonable.

Heh, that's exactly what I did. Primarily because my exhaust was rotted all the way through the axle hump and so I didn't have any way to get the exhaust to the rear of the car. There wasn't room for...

Nice! Lifters are almost always noisy unless you drive it every day. You can replace them if it's still out of hand. But I'd call that a win.

From the video, I'm like 90% sure it's the vacuum pump. It's a common issue for them to get noisy in their old age. As far as I know the only solution is to remove it, covering the hole with a...

I'm sure those are the right ones because the other set they make is 29545-1, and that's the one I got for my 4000 quattro, which wouldn't work on a FWD car because of how the rear suspension is set...

Hehe and that's why I still haven't put my sway bar back on. I have all new parts (including end links), but I've never heard of anyone enjoying the experience.

So are you trying to do it with the strut bolted in? If so, taking some of it loose will allow you to swing the strut assembly out of the way. How much is up to you, but the lower ball joint and the...

They're basically the same to remove and replace, so likely it's just stuck. BTW, if those are OEM axles or a good aftermarket brand I'd hang onto them and have them rebuilt at some point. Good...

They did have an undercoating material, but it's usually confined to the underbody. I would guess that it's a rust preventative coating that someone sprayed or had sprayed. It used to be common in...

Double check the bolt spacing on the rims. Most of the FWD cars got 4x100 until later production years when they got 4x108. The quattro cars were all 4x108 except for the 5-lugs of course. I remember...
