Official Audi content-was on Ebay looking at Audi cars
for sale.
I was intrigued by an ad that had a 2001 S8 for
sale...supposedly from someone in the Seattle area.
current bid in the $10K range...such a deal!
What you are actually buying is this person's "place
in line" to buy the car from a dealer.
The supposed reason for selling is that the seller
allegedly "can't wait any longer".
What really annoyed me about this deal was that the
seller also auctioned off a slot for a 2001 Lexus too,
using the exact same tactics and the exact same
excuse.
So what we have here is a "gentleman" who puts down
deposits on cars and then sells his "slot".
Caveat emptor, as they say.

Re; Winter tires on a4 and other (what works best)
Hello: My Winter tire input:
Back in the day when I bought my 4000Q I couldn't understand why the quattro
could do 360 spins on the Mass Pike.
It was because of the "shoes" on the car. (And agressive driving beyond
what the conditions warranted.)
The tires were faux Goodyear Eagle GT's.
Like wearing loafers while climbing a snow covered ramp, the "shoes" (tires)
MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
I run Pirelli Winter 210P's (discontinued?) a little narrower than stock
wheel width, and change to a new set of four snows every second season.
The tread lugs and agressive high speed sidewalls (HR rated) with the sipes
in the tread block make the car run thru anything.
(except 12" snowplow drifts when the cars undercarriage hangs the tires off
the ground)
The quattro drive system will propell any "Audi" car with any tires thru the
snow and up grades like hills.
*** its the deep tread WINTER tires "shoes" that keep the car on the road
with control, and make the car track where you steer or brake it. ***
All seasons are all purpose which don't accell at either (summer/winter)
task at hand.
The agressive tread lugs work well (in my opinion during wheel lock-up (Non
ABS 86 4Q and 90 200 TQAvant with the ABS -off))
in the RARE instance that the built up wedge or frozen sand, snow and slush
actually can shorten the cars
stopping distance in "off the road" or straight line braking.
ABS wins out the other 97% of the road conditions.
Some Audi literature mentions NOT to use snows though. Which would you want
: Drive train wear or sheetmetal damage/being stranded?
Four snows for "shoes"! Boston to New Hampshire ski country I run circles
around normal cars, 4wd trucks, and SUV's until the snow depth reaches ~8"
unplowed.

Ameer,
I'm having a CAM ground by ELGIN http://www.elgincams.com/
they will custom grind a cam for your application.
You will need to locate a solid lifter cam with 17 tooth distributor gear.
There turnaround time is not fast, because they batch process the hardening
about once a month. There quality however, is excellent especially for the
price, and they will grind a cam based on your anticipated needs.
See my website for some cam details adn pictures:

IMHOpinion: The belt is to the alternator. It is the first pulley in view
to the elements.
Mine slipped for years when wet and snow etc. 80 4K, 864KQ, Bad design.
Blocking it with something may not be a bad idea but I suspect the
Alternator uses "ram"
air to cool it as the 90 200 TQAvant has a duct to take "ram" air from the
bumper
and direct it to the back of the alternator.

Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 10:28:51 -0700
I spent several hours on various days looking for a problem with an 84 4kq
that would die intermittently, pull over, wait not more than a minute and it
would fire and run fine. This sometimes could be triggered by switching the
headlights to high beam (they were relayed properly). When it did die, the
tack would follow the engine speed indicating there was still likely spark.
I tried several things including known good FPR and load reduction relay
as well as checking cleaning grounds. A jumper wire across the FPR would
solve the problem, but not a way to drive it. FINALLY traced the problem
down to an internal fuse box connection that was intermittently not
supplying power to the switching side of the FPR.
> 89 200 This problem has happened to me 3 times while driving my car in
the last 8 weeks. Driving at normal speeds the car will just die. I pull
over to the side of the road and no spark. I crank the car and pull the
codes and get 4444 no problems. Let the car cool of for 15 to 30 min and it
starts up and purrs. It is not the ign switch and I spec out the coil and it
measures out ok. The only thing I can think of is the RPM sensor down on the
flywheel. Am I correct in my thinking that if the car dies while running the
crank postion sensor would not kill the car? I have ohmed out both sensors
and there is continuity. I do not have the spec so i just measured it out. I
removed and inspected sensors and they look good.

No, the cutout shape for the headlights/corner seems a bit different.
Also, the V8 has a different front bumper, and the shape of the
flare extend down further to match the bumper (the 91 200q's
flare is less pronounced). These may or may not affects the application
of a V8 hood on a 91 200q. You'll have to do some careful measuring
between the two cars. Also I recall Steve B. saying that the core support
looked similar, but did not verify whether indeed they are the same.
That might be an issue. Since the front grill comes down to near
bumper level, you will have to remove the original grill plus some
of the mid section of the lower grill trim. I don't know if the
outer sections of the lower trim (below the headlights) have to
be removed to fit the V8 headlights. If so, you'll have to fill it
with something. The V8 has a body-colored piece there with the
headlight wiper mounted on it, which mates to the fender...

Dave,
It is possible to connect a 'delay' unit between the ignition ECU output
and ignition amplifier input. This would however give the same degree of
retard across the full rev/boost band which is not ideal but still the
same as turning the distributor on a 'normal' car.
I wonder why they used crank sensors on the UR for ignition timeing rather
than the hall sensor on the dizz.
I understand what you are saying though it is not easy.

Wow. I may have a real collectable in my hands... I have an unbuilt
Audi A4q STW 1/10 RC Tamiya :) I paid $225 when it was new, but never
found the time to build it. Perhaps I shouldn't?

Hi
#1:Lots of job, hardware and the aftermarket ECS
#2:Buy a donor car. Connect two CIS:s (with injectors) in parallel ;^)
Not only kidding I´ve seen it: V8 big block with two 6cyl (two blocked)
cis:s, one for each bank. The fuel and el. supplies were common.
A question also: "Does anybody, maybe You Javad, know -what hp
amount is the limit for 7A?" I know the injectors will be the 1:st...PITA.
Just remebering that 2.6L stroker.

Hi P.T. !
RS-2 front? I think there are a couple of good sources for Your project in
the Fi, too. Will soon check my files and get You those connections by
e-mailing directly.
Audi people do it with the style. Whoops... I did mean something like; B-52
tail doesn´t look good on those Corollas ;^)
My best

Uh... waitaminute, it takes a long long time before they're worth anything.
And I think right now, the price has actual dropped on the model you're
talking
about (this is normal) and won't go up for quite a while. Just build it,
it's
not worth the wait.
Incidentally for those that have never tried Radio Controlled: it's
hilarious!
I can do things with my "compact" A4 that I could never do with real one.
For example: seeing how high I can launch it off a ramp.
Thanks,
Peter

Subject: Stumbling at high boost
To: quattro at audifans.com
I was driving in my car today and pulled out to overtake a car in a manner
which other Ur owners will be familiar with ie you are passed and fadeing
into the horizon before the other driver can blink. Anyway this time as I
was along side with my foot to the floor and at full boost my car
hesitated and I had to back off.
The last time this happened I traced the problem to the spark plugs which
I had not checked for some time and the gap was too large. The high boost
was putting the spark out. I checked the plugs and they were OK so for
some reason I decided to check the air intake temp sensor and found the
connecting wires had crimps on them and looked in a bad way. I
disconnected them and out of interest went for a test drive and found at
low boost the car was backfireing/pinking etc.
After cutting about half an inch of cable off I tried to solder the wires
on but old copper cable does not solder well. I decided to try using
Jenolite rust eater which is a type of acid normally used on bodywork and
I found that the copper became quite shiney and it was the best fluxing
agent I have ever used. The temperature sensor is an item which Audi have
thought of a daft price and quattro'd it, about 120 gbp so I did not want
to get it too hot. But not much heat was required to get the solder to
run.
The resistance of this sensor is low, around 25 ohms so good connections
are critical for accurate ignition timeing.
Anyway went for a drive again and the problem was solved.
Sorry for going on but this may help someone with a similar problem.
