Any idea what went wrong, it seemed to be going well at the start?

He had some financial problems, ended up in Norway (more $), said someone else has taken over the project, but have not heard in over 6 months now!.. Never again!

Oh my..... not good to hear.

Pete82 · **Posted:** Mon May 26, 2014 2:32 pm

why did he leave it to someone else that you don't know?

Even so, if he said that he'd do the work why did he leave it with someone else?

Surely if its more money in norway then he could do it in norway?

If you ever get the car/parts back and want to sell the seats pm me, cash or parts exchange. I want some to retrim. Hope you get it sorted.

Time to revive the project
Found another shop in Poland willing to take over and finish the car for me...
This is what they received... I feel like crying.

On a positive note the new shop has actually finished few projects and they are on FB so updates will not be an issue.

Onward and upwards!!

I feel much better now...its like a big peace of steel go out from my chest... Martin, You are a great guy and I am sorry so much that I cant finish that job for You. Now Audi is in a better place with guys who take care of that car.

Good to follow the project again.

Still there :-)

ralleyquattro · **Posted:** Sat Nov 05, 2016 12:45 pm

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...

Thanks! Can you PM me his contact info?

Pete82 · **Posted:** Thu May 11, 2017 4:35 pm

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 · **Posted:** Mon Feb 12, 2018 7:32 am

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