1990 100 QT Avant

[44avantQT]

hi all, just wanted to put a few pics of my car up after finally managing to register on the forum, (nightmare trying work with online translators )

i bought the car in January 08, it's a 1990 2.2 Quattro Turbo MC 10v motor and since then have spent a small fortune replacing the braking system, hydraulic system including the clutch cylinders, and general bits and bobs that were required to bring the car back up to scratch,

i've installed a custom stainless steel exhaust, and various engine parts to get the car running sweet, and up next is a new uprated ECU, and a set of 17" old style RS4 wheels,

i've also got a set of rear smoked lights ordered from custom auto craft which should be here by the end of the week,

so there's my introduction over and i hope you enjoy the pics,

[DeeDee_KL]

Scootlund? ne'er ever wull a' body git me thare again! wis in Outer Troon 'n' Glescae fur some stuff th' foremaist ill quaistion wis "How dae ye lik' tae be a pairt o' England?"


... and then the fight started ....


(translated using a colleague from somewhere around Yorkshire)

when i was there i was always "how it would feel to drive my car (200 10v Turbo Avant Quattro) in this nice scenery" ... and you are the lucky one

[turbaxel]

Hi and a big welcome here from Munich

Nice car indeed... My second type 44 was a light antrazite Avant looking pretty similar to yours. Only I took care to have the steering wheel mounted to the right, errr, left side

Any chance of gettin' more pix from the Avant and Scotland?

Here you'll finde a few german get-together-pix:

[44avantQT]

DeeDee, your last post made me laugh out loud because it's so true about our rivalry with England i live only 30 miles from Troon too, so if your ever back there, drop me a line

Paul, i appreciate your comments greatly as i know you have a vast knowledge of the C3, so again thank you,

turbaxel, thank you also, i have lots of pictures so i will look them out and post them up for you.

[44avantQT]

turbaxel, man there is some serious cars going on in that link you posted, i'm drooling everywhere

[44avantQT]

here is a video of the exhaust when i first had it installed last year,
best viewed with a 5.1 speaker system

and also a video of a problem i have with the speedometer, it has started to bounce sometimes, so if anyone know's what the problem could be, i would appreciate some advice,

Hello from south Hesse (approx. 40km south from Frankfurt)!

[turbaxel]

Dear 44AQT,


your speedo problem is a quite common one. Hence, there's a repair guide in our online self docu:

Here's the autotranslated version:

There's even an english start page, but the links are autotranslated as well:

Have fun
turbaxel

[44avantQT]

thanks Turbaxel, but after reading that, i may just live with it for now as it is an intermittent problem, or i may cansider just replacing the whole dash clocks as opposed to repairing the original, as it looks to be a very fiddly job.

[Ignas.quattro]

Hello and welcome to the forum , 44avantQT
This problem which you have with your speedo is very easy to repair , even for me , who doesn't know much about soldering and electrics

[44avantQT]

thank you Ignas, but i may just live with it for the time being

by the way Ignas, i was very gutted for you when i read your thread and seen you crashed twice, but you have your avant looking very nice with the 200 front end and 5 spoke wheels,

anyway, a few more shots of my car from a show we attended last summer,









so, outwith some more historic pics, the next batch of pics should be with the CAC rear lights, as i am expecting delivery of them any day now thanks to Paul, and i cant wait for this as i think these smoked lights will set the car off just fine

[44avantQT]

and a few more pics, including some interior,

[turbaxel]

Brillant pix, brilliant colour (so to speak)

Nice!

Mine:





Have a lot of fun this summer.

[44avantQT]

very very nice Turbaxel, i love the 2 tone colour, very elegant, and also the colour goes very well with the Aero-6 wheels, a very nice example

i must ask though, i have seen this body shell many times, with the rounded rear arches, but i thought this shell only came on the 200? no?

was this shape standard on the 100 avant models? as i have never seen a UK car with these rear arches.

[DeeDee_KL]

Audi 100 Sport (Avant)
Audi 200 20vT (so-called 220v)
Audi 200 Exclusiv

(OT: Fun telling in CZ about round ones: the hole logic/story behind this was "Hey Kraut, how many of those round arches we should made? what? .. cannot hear you ... ok .. you know what .. we will just build 200000 of those mkay? ... so they had a lil bit of overcamped the prod nrs. .. my colleague always hate this when im telling him a "story how the precise german engineer produced a lil bit more parts" )

those models were round ... anything else was "Flat"

i have seen two Sports ... one in "the almighty capitol" (near LHR) and other one in GLA

[turbaxel]

Well,

since the type 44 was ought to become the aerodynamics king, those rounded wheel arches simply had to go. As had the passenger side's rear mirror and a few other unimportant things.

If you keep in mind that well known features as the full flat Aero alloys (or the plastic caps), the small aerodynmic lip under the hood are there just because of low cw. So there's a very good technical reason for those flat wheel arches, indeed. They simply don't look as good and sporty as the rounded ones, though. To most people, that is.

So Audi (Treser etc.) began to produce small ammounts of custom built carswith rounded arches. They sold well, so Audi decided to use this feature as an official destinction detail for exclusive and sporty or luxury models ( V8 )...

But, the fender of a 200 20V is unlike the fender of a 10V Sport and so on. The V8 again

[44avantQT]

well, i got my smoked tail lights today, and after work i decided to fit them as i could'nt wait untill the weekend

removing this black panel was a bit of a nightmare as the 4 retaining screws on the underside were rusted rotten,



but after several different tools and some perserverance later, i got it off, all be it i actually broke it but not to worry as it is redundant anyway



and now with the lights fitted,











so now as i have them fitted, i will now spend the weekend with a leaning and detailing session and head out for some good pictures.

oh and a big thanks to Paul at CAC for such an excellent product and service

[Mario20v]

Really nice!

In Germay we would say to the stock taillights "Baustellenlampen" "Counstruction area warning light"

[44avantQT]

so, i went to feed my horse earlier and decided to film the journey for the sake of it,

best listened to in 5.1

[Ignas.quattro]

Now that is the video I like
And the taillights as well!
You probably won't believe this , but somehow , today my avant was equipped with these Treser smoked lights too

[44avantQT]

another tiny little video of me messing about in the car pak, but you tube really kill the quality

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZY6Csz6rZg

and a few more shots from this evening,

[Olli W.]

That Avant looks really nice - inside and outside.

The flared fender cars are pretty sought after, as these are pretty rare and often well equiped.

When it comes to drag and Aerodynamics, those arches do not have a large negative effect on it, but in the beginning they were simply not necessary, as the wheel track was pretty narrow for a vehicle of that size (almost identical to the Audi 100 C2).

Welcome and all the best,
Olli

ps. here´s my ride

[Avantus]

Olli, what are the specs of your car? I love all the testing and upgrading you've done to it. Any idea about the HP/Nm? And at what boost do you drive to achieve those numbers?

[Ralf-200q85]

heres my 200 turbo quattro avant:






and here my last modification,us reflectors
