[urq] ur-quattro VINs + Canadian car request

[Louis-Alain_Richard at computerhorizons.com]

Nice job, Phil.

To complete what Martin said:
I just perused TFA and found these 1983 VIN breaks for North-America. 
Looks like we got some cars with "leftover" parts. Updating was a 
continuous process...

Examples:

front suspension : 85-D-900 582 and up got the new style swaybar with end 
links and the newer a-arms.

rear suspension : 85-D-900 500 and up got the new style rear suspension 
with inverted ball joints (4KQ style).

braking system : 85-D-900 358 and up have different master cylinder than 
the early cars.

rear calipers : 85-E-900 001 and up got the new style calipers

brake cables :  - 85-D-900 351 and before got the single brake cable
                - 85-D-900 352 to 902 500 got the early style dual cables 
($$$$)
                - 85-E-900 001 and up got the 4KQ dual brake cables ($)

rear diff locks actuator:
                - 85-D-900 581 and before have the 1 position switch (both 
diffs locked at the same time)
                - 85-D-900 582 to 85-E-901 500 have the 2 position 
push-pull switch
                - 85-F-900 001 and up have the rotary switch.

Fuse box: 85-D-900 582 and up got the underhood fusebox

So, if there's a lister with a stock 1983 north-american car which VIN is 
between 85-D-900 500 and 85-D-900 582, could you confirm the above?

HTH, 

Louis-Alain

"Front wishbones revised
Revised anti-roll bar
Leather steering wheel from Audi 200
Revised rear track rods
Rear anti-roll bar deleted
Revised rear subframe with different handbrake cable mounting"

These changes did not take effect from VIN:85-D-900 001
I believe this was from VIN somwhere in between 85-D-900 700 and 85-D-900
800
Some cars had the new suspension but older wiring and some vice versa...

You missed the revised electrics... they were as before.. between 700 and
800 on D cars.


Thanks in advance
Cheers
Martin Pajak
