What did you do to your 5000, 100, 200 or V8 today ?

[Ktownboostn]

Not sure if there is a chip for your car....

Yep i have the GTQ 2.0+ bar chip.

Installed New front and rear Door Panels, center armrest , Front seats and Rear Headrests. Nice Brown Interior now ratehr then the fading tan.
Anyone have a Brown Cloth Rear Bench seat in good shape ?

[loxxrider]

Drove my car like 700 miles this past week. Didn't miss a beat!

also have new info that will help me get the car up and running better on the VEMS

[Ktownboostn]

Picked up a set of 16 x 6.5 ET33 Tiguan Steel wheels. Had some tires kicking around the ship. They look pretty cool. BUt will look alot nicer onces it's lowered.. and painted flat army green. Also found out why i had a bad clunking noise... rear diff mount was snapped !! SO welded it back up for now. ALso the rear strut had snapped at the base too.. so looks like i'll be buying new rear shocks while i do my springs.

Got a almost complete brown interior in mint shape !! Only thing missing is the back bench... i have the headrests though... figure that out. Got it for free from the PO. Have some issues to work out with the front seats but not a big deal.. have the original interor that worked perfect to play with. Digging the brown alot more then the faded tan.
SO if anyone knows of or has a brown rear bench kicking around.... please msg me !!!!

Was checking around one day and saw that the ground from the front of the engine to the body was pretty brutal looking. so i sprayed it down with contact cleaner and cleaned it up.. can seemed to run alot better and not hesitate. So i will be replacing both engine grounds with 0 gauge wire....hoping maybe this helps

Had my coolant bottle spring a leak at work one day.... so got a new one of those too lol.

Still waiting for my friend to get back to install my chip...

[Articulation]

I got my 100 running the other day and today I finished up the last of putting the interior back together and mounted my LS2 coils to the fire wall. It's all set to get the exhaust done.

[Ktownboostn]

The Re-welded diff bracket snapped again today... called up Shokan ( http://www.shokan.com ) waiting to hear back now...

[Tdotdub]

Yesterday I brought by 2 euroheadlights back.. need to clean them.. and find euro-reflectors or I need to modify the north american style ones to fit the euro ones.. cuz I was unable to find thoes in hungary.

Hopefully will buy paint today and start painting my car soon fix all the minor blemishes up.

Oh and patched up my gas tank again yesterdat and should be fine now

[Ktownboostn]

so $245 later... i have a bracket on the way

[Tdotdub]

Got paint for my car this afternoon... And crashed my car 2 hours ago ...... At fault.. need I say more? Ktownboostn do u know where to get a passenger side rear door?

[Ktownboostn]

ummm....I think i know of 1 or 2 5000's in my local junk yards.
I've heard of a place called Dominion Auto Wreckers....was told they have a mass amounts of 5000s
or try http://www.shokan.com..might be a bit pricey... and it's gotta be shipped.. but i bet they would have one.. and possibly even in your colour

[Ktownboostn]

Got the LAST remaining Speedo Sender in all of NA yesterday from the dealer... part is obsoleted ... lol sorry guys

[J-Rivers]

i got a back brown bench, i have some v8 doors too but they are a bit differnt than the 5000's

[Ktownboostn]

Sent you an IM !!!!

[loxxrider]

made some interesting findings about my car last night that might lead to it running properly on the VEMS THIS WEEK for the first time in A YEAR. lol

[Ktownboostn]

Backing out of my driveway this morning.... Blew the Clutch Slave Hose... but it was clamped together from the PO.
And the rear diff bracket completely snapped ... no car untill part arrives

[Tdotdub]

Bought an 1985 audi 5000s turbo diesel to part. And replaced my turn signal today

[Ktownboostn]

You could build yourself a serious turbo engine with the....

- Diesel Turbo
- Diesel block
- NA Cylinder head

Some new pistons and maybe a cam .. 034 EFI and you have one hell of a Super torquey high HP engine

Well I want to make it a serious engine. Just need to see how much time I will have. But I can assure u. With time this will be a SERIOUS engine

And u can not use the NA head because the diesel heads don't have spark plugs but rather have glow plugs and the injectors are different.
The engine was apparently rebuilt not so long ago and than it sat a long while. Honestly I don't believe it. I also bought the car with no keys. Only papers. So I will try to get it running tomorrow.

Oh I will also put a semi good door on my car cuz its still rapped from what happened a few nights ago.

To stay on topic I also replaced my power steering bottle cap cuz the gasket was damaged and was leaking.

I'm talking Gas engine though... not diesel.. i know a NA gas head won't work on a diesel.

Oh lol yes yes ur right than. And na. And diesel quattro sounds more fun and also I will look into getting some big injectors and other stuff on my diesel to make it fast

[Ktownboostn]

lol ya a soot blowing quattro qould be sweet !! Look up Giles Performance in Markham. He rebuilds Diesel Pumps to perform almost 200% better then stock.
My Friend put one on his 1.6TD jetta... it's insane how much of a difference a Super Performance pump makes

[Ktownboostn]

Ordered a windshield today... not that i need one... BUT There is a liquidation going on with Audi/VW parts..... so if anyone local want one.. PM me ASAP... i'll let you know price

[Tdotdub]

I got my diesel audi started for a little bit. But now the starter is acting up so I donno if I can start it again with out work.

[loxxrider]

Just curious...are you guys (tdot and ktown) on motorgeek?

[Ktownboostn]

I'm not on MotorGeek
But i am on a wack load of other VW/Audi Forums

[Tdotdub]

This is the only forums I'm on. Don't have time to also fallow forums on other sites lol. Why is there any good audi 5000 forms out there?

[loxxrider]

Ah ok, well just FYI MG is probably the best forum out there for oldskool audis. There isn't a question that can't be answered there. I'd suggest stopping by if you ever need an answer quickly.

Yesterday got my DS window regulator in... after waiting for a MONTH for the part to show up .
Also got my clutch slave hose in, just hand to bleed it
Gonna be tackling the rear diff bracket today.
Then just waiting for my ECU to come back from being chipped and i am back on the road !

[Ktownboostn]

Stared on the bracket... going to need all new nuts and bolts and outer bushings..... so a few more days it is down....

[Tdotdub]

Drove an mk3 td to Ottawa and back.. almost 500 kms per way. And I noticed how much I like my audi! Now just need to make my audi diesel

[Ktownboostn]

Anyone know ehere i might be able to find side bushings for the reardiff bracket ? or am i gonna have to customize some poly mounts ?

[Ktownboostn]

Here is the side of the bracket that snapped off.... and the sized sleeve attached to the bolt still

And i figured since it's down for a few days... might aswell tint the lights
