HP2 Struts into C3 100 QT

[Quattro Power]

Hi Guys,

I've searched for info on this and couldn't fin any, so sorry if it's been asked before but....

I have a C3 100QT, and 2 x URS4's sitting waiting to be broken, one has nearly new discs & pads, koni yellows and cobra lowering springs, my question is can the HP2 struts be fitted to a C3?

If so whats involved?

Best Regards,
Leigh

One of them was my daily until it developed a wiring loom fault.......non-starter

Other is a great runner but is rotten as feck.......

The runners engine is going in my B3 80Q , and the non runner may be going in the C3 100QT

Just wondering about this suspension though......mind you I haven't offered it up or even compared, but just thought one of you nutters must have thought about it or tried it by now!!

if you have ignition on the non starter, have you tried vag com on it? could be something simple

pity to break if its easy to fix. pity your up on Shetlands!!

are either of them autos?

No Fault codes, tried everything, it's definately not anything on the engine side, it's a problem between the plugs at the bulkhead and the ECU??......ECU's fine, along with everything else that's been suggested, I went through a massive thread discussion on S2forum about it! I reckon it's a broken wire / wires in the wiring loom PITA

Basically the car wouldn’t start and then would sometimes start and run fine then turn it off and it wouldn’t start again, so intermittent starting problems.

We tested the Camshaft Position Sensor (G40), located behind Cam Pulley with an LED tester and found this to be faulty, so replaced it and tested it again and it works, crossed referenced the results with my other URS4 which runs and it’s the same.

As the timing belt had to come off, we replaced the belt at the same time. The car has started from then, and it ran perfect so we know the timing is correct, the belt has been double checked and it’s the correct belt also.

I swapped bits from the running URS4 and Vice Versa. The following was ruled out;
- ECU
- Coilpacks and Earths
- Power Output Stages
- Engine Sensors @ Flywheel; Namely Crank Reference Sensor (G4) and RPM Sensor (G28)

I put the car to Auto-Electrican to remove the aftermarket immobiliser and put the wiring back to factory, they say they have by-passed the immobiliser under the dash instead…………..it still wouldn’t start.

The Auto-Electrican also by-passed the fuel pump relay, and confirmed that they tested the injector plugs with an LED tester and there is no power going to the plug to activate the injectors. So in addition to there being no spark, the injectors aren't getting power.

We also checked the pin on the flywheel and it's there, if that was the problem the car wouldn't intermittantly run, when it did run it ran sweet as a nut!........

As time went on it began not starting less and less until eventually not at all, leading me to believe it was a frayed / broken wire.

i had to replace my ignition key assembly because that was playing up..... yours sounds much more indepth than that

pity your so far out in the sticks to get someone to have a specialist look at it for you... assuming your not one already

send this info to tonks4x4 on here or spink, they're pretty clued up 5 pot guys
