Still there... the car is found but a some of the parts were missing or broken.. like the impossible to find replacement timing belt covers.
The engine has been cleaned and new belt/seals etc installed.
7A oil pan installed...

Soon... I can feel it now...

 

[Nickel_5000tq]

Major update.
After all these years the engine is finally in the engine bay
Engine way was stripped, battery box removed and then the bay was painted
New plastic fuel lines were also ran.
More updates to follow!

It will be great to see you get another one of these up and running. Do you have any interest in an (almost) new turbo for one of these engines? I have one, but it won't clear the oil filter housing on my DE (2.0 TD) engine.

 

[ralleyquattro]

Thanks for the offer, but if the original turbo ever goes it will be replaced by a GT22V from a Eurovan.

holy smokes...the first post on this was like 7 years ago...talk about commitment! still pretty excited to see this finished - I`m bringing my B4 Avant out of hibernation this year too - perhaps we'll meet at a show somewhere in the region...

 

[ralleyquattro]

Still have to get it to this side of the pond. At least there is a glimmer of hope that I can get it onto a container next month.

Any news Martin ?

 

[ralleyquattro]

Still there, slowly but surely. They are working on the wiring now.

Tiny bit of an update.
Going with the serpentine belt setup on the 80q as opposed to the V-belt on the 90q.
Will make installing an A/C compressor a bit easier.
