- Just when I think everything is sorted, the Coupe throws up one last problem and fails to start. Unperturbed and with the help of you the viewers, I diagnose and fix the problem.

Fantastic diagnostic work there man! I also have a few "thank god for ebay" moments of my own. Lifesaver at times 😁👍
It sure is! 🙂
This was so enjoyable in that you explained everything that you were doing, Job well done.
Thanks - Sometimes I think I don't know what I'm doing!! 😄
Hello, I have a 88 90 Quattro and have a feeling I’ll be needing these videos one day! , brilliant fix glad it’s running again.
Thanks. Once it's all done, it'll be good for years. It's just that this one sat for so long.
@@garageofdadCan I ask where you bought your idle air valve from as I need one to?
@@batesy536 I bought a new Idle Valve from Germany and turned out, It wasn't working. Thankfully Rob at Nentsport had a working secondhand valve which he put on.
I remember the days of timing lights and tuning, surprised you hadn't got the timing light on it to set it up spot-on, but it's great to hear it running and off to a show it been quite a journey .
Thanks, though don't have a timing light, it'd be another thing I'd have to buy!
@@garageofdad Might be easier to try and borrow one from an old boy locally its only the old stuff that needs one these days, but the audio has made it and is running 😃
@@du7ch384 My friend says he has one and will borrow at the weekend 👍 Will also check the flywheel timing mark which I completely forgot about as per comment below.
O have a mk1 Golf with identical ignition set up. Essential that you have a timing light with and old school distributor car.
@@patrickcannell2258 Yep, getting a loan of one this weekend 👍
What oil are you running? These old 5 pots like good thick oil. I run 10w50 Fuchs in my S2. Should sort your tapping tappets. Also, there should be a static timing mark on the dizzy under the plastic cap. Should line up when at tdc. I use the timing mark on the fly wheel to set. It's more reliable than the one on the crank pulley.
Keep em coming.
Was 10W40 Mannol but I'm going tom change it again. Thanks for reminding me about the mark on the flywheel, completely overlooked it! Going to check it all over again. Thanks
Great news and a lovely car, now for the A2 drivers suspension???😉
😄 I'm avoiding it at the moment! But need to get it done soon as it's starting to knock now.
Good job !
Thanks
I was going to say some way early in the video could it be the timing gear for the distributor as from what I could remember on these the dizzy is run off a gear of its own on the timing belt?.
When you said hall sensor I always thought they were in the dizzy, the unit you replaced in the footwell isn't that the ignition amplifier?
Anyway looks like you got their in the end.
Yes, I was getting confused by the names of them as I'm learning all the time. The ignition amplifier was a cheap and easy replacement. Turned out to be the Hall Sensor after all but I always take it from the easiest and first through to the last to get my head round it all 🥴
The distributor is driven by a gear on the camshaft
A timing light is a must for this job
@@Duffy3074 Yes, now got a loan of one 👍
@Duffy3074 You sure, there is a gear on the cambelt system I could swear I remember doing one many years ago and failed to time up that gear/cog and no start until I realised it needed to be set as it ran the dizzy.
I know most dizzys are run off the camshaft of similar era but could swear these were a bit different.
@@Mrs-NWA the KV code engine is definitely teeth on the cam that drive the distributor
I own the saloon version of this and have literally just installed a replacement distributor 😊
I’ve just bought myself a 1989 coupe and I’m having some trouble getting the exhaust manifold off, have you ever had the manifold off? If so how did you do it?
Ah yes I did, rounded off the nuts. I used my IRWIN bolt extractors to grip them and get them off.
What car show Is it you’re taking the car to? Boness?
Was going to be Thirlstane but the brake servo has now gone along with the in tank petrol gauge sender unit so the MOT will have to wait☹
@@garageofdad Go to Classic Audi forum, look at my thread ‘newbie with a 90’ and you’ll see I can relate to your pain 😂
@@Duffy3074 I'll have a look at that. When they're sorted, they go great but when they're not, they're a pig to get going 😖
@@garageofdad For sure, I’ve spent a lot of time on my K-Jet, but worth it for such a great car and engine
