HELP-Rotten Egg Smell

Tue Nov 19 20:43:07 EST 2002
Hello
My 1991 200tq is trying to kill me. While sitting at idle it occaissionally
develops a rotten egg smell odor. It is not always there but when it
is...WHEW!. Any ideas as to what might be leaking that could cause this? (
The car never drips anything on the garage floor)
Also there is a large build up of crud on the oil pan that seems almost like
a solid coating. What is the fastest/easiest way to clean this off. I
suspect some of the smell is this stuff baking away....
Thanks

Ay Bernie,
You really let me down with that last note. I was looking forward to hear
how you replaced a piston set with old soup cans

Subject: time to sell the 91 200 avant, probably
This is a decision I've been struggling with.
I enjoy tinkering with my Audi(s) but with two small kids and a crappy
economy, my time is best spent with my family, working on my home or
trying to develop my IT technical skills in case I lose my job.
A car that is over 12 years old, like the 200, is simply not reliable
enough as a daily driver, unless you also have a 3rd car and/or a
mechanic who lives nearby. I have neither.
This past weekend, with the assistance (yet not encouragement!) of a few
listers, I flew/drove to New Hampshire and picked up a 2002 Suzuki XL-7
for my wife. Why on earth would you buy that, you wonder?
It has a third row for occasional passengers, which comes in handy when
you have kids. It's bulletproof reliable and Suzuki just added a fully
transferrable $0 deductable 7/100 powertrain warranty. It got good
crash test ratings. And I got it for a really good price.
Most important, it's the only new vehicle sold in the US with a 3rd row
and a 5 speed manual transmission :)
So, enter the Suzuki. Now, what to sell? Well, as I've explained I
don't have time to work on the 200. I've even thought of proactively
replacing things that are likely to fail, but that adds up quickly.
My other car is a 99.5 Jetta TDI which of course gets great MPG, and I
have a 70 mile/day commute. The practical thing to do is sell the Audi.
I could keep it as a third car but I still wouldn't have time to fix it,
and frankly if I'm going to have an Audi as a 3rd vehicle, I'd rather
have an urq.
It's kind of sad that I have "outgrown" so to speak the older Audis, yet
I can't afford the new ones. An A4 Avant Quattro TDI would fit my needs
perfectly, but you can't get one. Audi's US lineup interests me less
and less these days.
So, I'll drive the TDI through the winter and see what happens. I may
come across a deal on a neu-S4, otherwise my next vehicle will be an 04
WRX or WRX STI, which are due in the Spring.
Anyway... just musing. Anyone interested in the 200 drop me a line.
It's a well sorted silver/grey 91 200q20v with 104k miles for those that
don't know the car, located in NY.

I had some old VW Interior screws with a washer. I tried them I will go

I just talked to Forge in UK and told him about the GP.
He told me you could individually email him and make your order, but there
might be a delay since Samco isnt making many at a time.
But you could email him and ask what the ETA is and let him know that I sent

Okay, this is what I know so far. I emailed Forge Motorsports in both the U=
SA and UK locations. The UK office said that they would forward my GP reque=
st to the USA office and that they would take care of me. So then I get an =
email from the USA office saying that their prices are already VERY competi=
tive so the GP would only get us a 10% discount off regular retail (not sur=
e what regular retail is, hoping they will let me know soon). Apparently, t=
he last GP that was sourced from overseas really pissed off the US vendors =
so they may not be willing to do a GP for us. However, I emailed a contact =
at Forge UK asking what the price for an individual (not GP) would be. If t=
he price is similar to what Chewy4000 paid it would be a better deal to go =
that route. Waiting for a response from him.
Also, Samco says they are currently working on an 8-10 week turnaround. So =
it would be at least 2 months before they could make our hoses and get them=
shipped. Though we all know how unreliable these estimates can be.
BTW, I have been keeping track of everyone who expressed interest in the GP=
, so far we have interest for 7 sets. If you haven't made a post expressing=
interest go ahead and do so.
Will keep you guys updated when I get more info,

Thanks Bernie
I am glad to know
I had former run into troubles when a proff rebuilding a Chevy big block for
my powerboat interchanged flywheels without
knowing exactly what he did. Some year they were extern
balanced and some later models internally.
The pulleys from my 2 3B's have different drill pattern for balancing
but the casting may differ.
Thanks
Claus

Subject: Foul Weather Mystery
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 16:53:14 -0700
Listers,
I posed a "baffling problem" to the list on 10/16/02 regarding a "loss of
power in foul weather". The general consensus was to replace my plug wires
and the problem should be resolved. I replaced the wires as suggested
however the problem is still there. More than likely, I mis-stated the
symptoms since it had been a while since the car exhibited the problem.
I'll try to give a better description now.
I'm driving a '91 200q20V Wagon, Hoppen Chip, K&N Filter, Bilstein's,
otherwise stock. The car is solid and strong until I hit heavy rain,
standing water or sloppy, slushy conditions at which time the car develops a
throaty, grumbly sound with accompanying vibration. Sometimes it will start
to screech and scream - LOUDLY. When it happened this weekend, I put it in
neutral and revved the motor - the screaming continued regardless of RPM's,
however the throaty noise did follow the RPM's. It's difficult to say if
there is an associated power loss because the noise is so disturbing that I
slow down and try get off the road. On Friday, the screaming was VERY LOUD!
But by the time I got off the road, it had stopped. Within a few miles, the
road turned from wet slop to dry pavement and the symptoms vanished. In
Colorado, sloppy and/or heavy rain conditions are usually short lived so I
have just dealt with it over the past couple of years. Now I want it fixed!
One more thing, it does NOT happen when the roads are snow covered - there
has to be water.
Background: New belts last month, new plug wires last week.
Ideas: Exhaust? Breaks (UFO's)? Some sort of thermal condition inducing
warping somewhere?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Peter

Alternator. When it gets soaked it doesn't put out all the power it
should. Especially if it's already compromised by old age.

New belts last month? Just about the time this problem started. Leave the
wheels on, have a peek at those round dials above that nice wood, a little

the right. A 10 is nice elsewhere, not here.

What you are describing is exactly what happened to me - it even
happened in Colorado. I bought my car in April of 2000 in Taos, NM. Flew
down and drove it back to Seattle. Leaving Taos north into CO toward
Durango I hit a storm with snow and slush and super wet roads (it wasn't
quite freezing). The screechy screaming started and I freaked out
thinking the engine was blowing up or ??? I stopped quickly and the
noise was gone. Started moving again and it began screeching again so I
slowly proceeded to the next town and called the PO who said it happened
to him a couple of times in the 6 years he had owned the car and he was
told it was the water/slush accumulating in the UFO's. I imagined some
sort of harmonic vibration that builds as speed increases, but really
have no idea why it happens. I was very relieved to find that it was not
a harmful situation for the car and that no damage was being done. It
was not related to engine RPM, but was totally related to MPH. Slowing
to below 40 MPH or so made it begin to fade away. Stopping the car
stopped the problem entirely and it came back slowly after speeding up
again to 40/45 or above. It was such thick slush and deep standing water
that speed was effected just from the car meeting all that resistance
and I don't think there was any power loss - again, I don't think it's
engine related at all. It happened one more time on that trip going
through slush and standing water going over the pass into Salt Lake
City. It 's never happened since. However, I have never encountered
those conditions since either. BTW the PO never heard of any fix for it.
He just excepted it as a rare and unthreatening occurance and I guess I
have adopted the same attitude. I suppose if I had to drive through
those kinds of extreme conditions regularly I would look for a solution.
Makes me wonder how many other's have had this expirience and if it's
ever happened to a car without UFO's. Maybe getting rid of the UFO's is
a solution.
My car has been nearly perfect since I bought it and there has never
been any sign of damage or failure of any part that could have been
related to that incident.
BTW I don't remember a "throaty noise."

Aha,
I too experienced a similar noise once. Turned out is was a piece of
grit/sand/rock from sanding the roads around Wenatchee, WA, started as we
were coming down the road from Mission Ridge. It was stuck between calipers
and disk or shroud and made quite a screeching sound, was quite worried at
the time, but eventually the rock wore down and fell out and suddenly the
car was silent again... Have driven in slush a few times and brakes act a
little weird, but a good application or two heats things up and have never
had any real problems.
