Happy new year buddy! How's project 200 coming allong? I've got my suspension on now, and what a difference!! It goes around corners a treat, www.potn.com £250 delivered, not bad!!
My car has now covered 3500 miles since ADI, and all is well apart from the cluch hydraulics beginning to let go, its booked in for these at the end of the week after I've changed the blower motor which I'm planning on doing tomorrow.

Ah, still being a pain in the but then, I'm sure you'll crack it in the end! Don't know if you saw the 200 turbo on ebay being broken? I've got the number if you need it. I'm not sure but I think its closer to you than Devon!
Mine is running very well to be honest, the tickover is a bit high, I think it might be due an idle air control valve.
I got the lowering kit ordered, yeaterday actually, from a web company called ponit.com, just under 250 delivered! Thought that was good. 40mm front, and 35 on the back. I was driving back up north to uni yesterday, and thought to myself on the A1 "there is no way you're going round that at 90!". Once the kit is on, i should be able to take the casters off the door handles! I have the added dis advantage of leather seats, which means you have to hang on to the steering wheel in corners anyway! Pasengers who are not wearing seat belts beware!
Bad luck with the windows mate! Can you get it paintedwhile their out, no ugly tape lines!!
Let me know if you go and see the saint, i'm sure the're be something!
Good luck!
Oh, just a thought, fuel accumulator? Had a mate with a capri 2.8i years ago who solved a bad running problem with an accumulator. Can't remember exactly how badly it was running though!

Hey fella, no she's not purring yet, growling maybe as the exhaust is only a downpipe at the moment! I wish i could leave it like that, sounds awesome!!!

I have spent the last few days stripping her down, in this weather we've been having I noticed that both screens and both quaterlights are leaking so all the bonded glass is going to have to come out.

When I tried to take the carpets out to dry them, they started to fall apart!!

I'm going to have to make a Devon trip to see Saint001, is there anything you need picked up?

RE the running problems, I'm going to try and borrow some gauges from a "mate" but if I can't get the K-jet to work properly then I'm not spending another £350 on it, I'll rip it out in favour of an efi system.

Sorry if my reply on FB seemed a bit off, I wasn't trying to be rude, just a bit pissed

Hope your baby's running well? regards Peter

Hi Mate, how are you getting allong with the 200? Is she purring yet? I've finally got my handbreak fixed after loads of hassle with wrong parts being supplied and one of my new callipers having a fault on the mechanism internally. Nightmare, still, its on two clicks now, so impressed! I don't have to park in gear any more!!

No, the engine it'self is sweet, it has only done 10k since I rebuilt it, so no knocking or anything like that.
I also had the metering head, and warm up regulator rebuilt and the injectors checked and cleaned at a total cost of £350 so i was a bit miffed at to why it started to play up within less than a year, but have now left it far to long to try and get any sort of warranty on them.
Yes I bought it from a friends dad, I asked about an engine which he used to have but had chucked out, then out of the blue the car came up for sale a month later. I had already bought it before I realised quite how rare it was.
The good news is that I now have a target date to get her on the road 13/2/2010 to be the bridesmaids car at my sisters wedding

I just noticed, your 200 turbo is a manual! I thought all 200 turbos were auto, I've never seen a manual one!! RARE BEAST!

My theory goes something like this. If it run (no matter how badly) and its not knocking its head off, there can't be that much wrong. The injection system is Bosch and even if Audi can't supply parts, bosch might be able too: Bosch dealers can supply parts from part numbers (usually cheaper than the main agents too) I use TT automotive in Loughborough for bosch parts. Just a thought. I wish I lived nearer, you know we'd be having some late night 200 sessions! Good luck mate, stick at it!

Thanks, and yes get to the bottom of it I will, if I cant do anything with the standard K-jet system then EFI it will have to be (saying that Dave has running problems with his). But Puglife on here is talking of a project he is doing to fit the motronic system from a 3B 20v onto a KG 10v. I have asked him about this and am anxiously awaiting his reply, lets hope it's not a top secret project!
Oh, friend request on Faceache as Coxy so aptly calls it!, done. Ill have a look at that quattro place now cheers, P

Awww, not so good mate, but I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it. I was on a site for a london based Quattro specialists that I found from the "any old audi" group on face book, they had some 200 bits, give them a shout. That reminds me you haven't accepted my friend request! If i see any info I'll let you know its location.
