[s-cars] 1991 AUDI 200

Fri Sep 20 13:59:29 EDT 2002
I am considering the purchase of an unmodified 1991 Audi 200 Quattro
Sedan, with 77,000 miles. In addition to the usual, what should be
checked on the Car? If I purchase the Car and decide to add a
Performance Chip, what is recommended and what else would have to be
modified on the Car? And what would be the estimated cost of the
Modifications? I am a novice when talking about Chips and
modifications of this type. Currently, I have a 1998 A4 Quattro Sedan,
with a V6 and Tectonic Trans., and very much appreciate the Audi, but
want a Car with a stick and more horsepower. I am also considering 1995
S6. Thanks for help. Dan.

for you guys who are language challenged, as i am, you can use this
translator website. although i've been told the translations done
through
this website may not be 100% accurate, it's better than guessing. i
think
it works pretty well, but to qualify my last statement; it's hard for
any
translation software to be 100% accurate because of innuendos or words
that
are used in multiple ways, etc.
this site does russian to english phrases or web pages.

Well, Ken, I am not exactly challenged when it comes to my mother
tongue.
;)
As for the altavista translation, here's my old post to the A4 list of
31 July 2002 posted on the identical occasion.

Well, I am a bit skeptical about bablefish successfully translating such
an enormously complex language as Russian into such fairly simple
language as English, where the word largely stays the same, yet its
meaning depends on its position in the sentence. No cases, no
declensions, no genders, no prefixes, no suffixes to worry about like
the case with Russian would be.
As an example I have taken one of my cars, a '98 A4TQ and drilled down a
few pages:
http://194.87.53.210/audivw/vag4.asp?cid=219&motor=AEB&cyl=4&vol=1,8&mye
ar=1998
Here's the result.
Lines 1 through 4 are OK.
.....
Line 5.
The actual Russian page: Final Drive, Differential, Steering
Babelfish translation: Front axle, differential, steering control
Line 6.
The actual Russian page: Rear Differential
Babelfish translation: Rear axle
.....
Line 8.
The actual Russian page: Steering, Pedal Cluster
Babelfish translation: Control, the treadle knot
.....
Line 10.
The actual Russian page: Electrical System
Babelfish translation: the electrician
It gets worse if we drill down further, say into the Engine link.
Firstly babelfish has no way of knowing that the left button's caption
reads "Search"
Secondly, it can't decipher abbreviations and instead it simply
transliterates them. Such as:
Line 1.
The actual Russian page: Air Pipe, Viscous Coupling (the long Russian
adjective "air" is abbreviated)
Babelfish translation: vozdushn. pipe the viscose clutch
.....
Line 3.
The actual Russian page: Clutch (the long Russian "Clutch" is
abbreviated)
Babelfish translation: it is coupled.
:)
Nothing beats owning the Family Album.

I don't see why not, Igor. There are certainly a large number of
Murkins
who are English challenged. You'd just fit right into the crowd. :-(

I was pretty sure they were both 55 pin connectors, so I'm assuming
you're saying the pin outs are not set up the same?

Subject: [s-cars] Procedure for changing ATF in automatic gearboxes
Hello everyone,
I know that the S4/S6 did not come with an automatic
gearbox for most of you but you might have information
that will be helpful to me if you have a Bentley
manual. I don't have one and can't get one...yet.
I want to change the ATF, final drive fluid, centre
and rear differential fluids. My mechanic tells me
that there is no way to completely drain torque
converters without a pump even when a drain plug is
present. Is this true? I thought that dropping the
sump to clean the strainer drains everything.
Would someone please have a look in the Bentley manual
and tell me what it says with regard to changing the
fluids in the automatic gearbox/final drive and
centre/rear differentials?
Thanks very much.
Jonathan

Jonathan,
Believe your mechanic. The closest thing you can do to change as much
fluid
as possible is to do multiple drain/fill operations (running the engine
in
between so as to exchange as much ATF as possible). I suggest a minimum
of
three times if you're really concerned or have burnt the fluid. I did
this
successfully with my v8 and nary had a problem with the tranny (and I
had
her on the track numerous times for the 120k that I drove her).
