Mr Pastry Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 2 minutes ago, Dyslexic Viking said: I do not know as I can not find any information about it. I hope not. And there is a new manifold for the larger Weber carburetors to 1.6 and 1.8 which is similar to mine in attachment so would think it is similar? It probably uses a different carb because it is a different engine. It may look the same and use the same basic castings, but it is quite likely to have a hotter camshaft, larger valves, etc. to make best use of the twin barrel carb. You may get the twin barrel carb to work on the single barrel engine if you can find a manifold, but probably not very well. Sorry if you know this already.

If that is the case then I can live with it as long as it is drivable as I am not looking for performance increases but looking for reliability. And the new carburetor should be set up for this engine. And I find it a little strange if they had such big changes on the same engines series as it would have led to big costs? I also can not find any information that suggests it? Mr Pastry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 50 minutes ago, wuvvum said: It's a 2-litre CRD - effectively a VW 2.0 TDI - with a 6-speed manual 'box. The engine has issues - from cold it overfuels like feck, so it pulls well when you floor it but smokes and stutters a bit on a light throttle. Then it goes into limp mode, where it runs lovely and smooth and doesn't smoke but takes forever to get up to speed. Code reader says MAF sensor and EGR valve - there's a new EGR valve in a box in the boot which is handy. It also has a hole in each outer sill towards the front, and some grot in the rear crossmember. And it only has a month's test left. It's actually been quite well looked after by the look of it - there's a stack of paperwork and the tyres are matching Bridgestones all round. It's a typical American car in that it has all mod cons but the quality of the interior fixtures and fittings is comically crap. It does look quite nice though. I think so anyway. Is this the one with expensive road tax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 11 hours ago, Dyslexic Viking said: I am now on the 4th day in the search for an intake manifold for the Audi to get the new carburetor to fit. And I'm running out of ideas where to look. Have searched through ebay, german and swedish used car parts pages and some in the uk. And has searched everything in Norway and has spent a lot of time on the phone today and is the same no one has VW and Audi parts from the 80's anymore. And no one has the right manifold so now everything rests on a scrapyard in western Norway that has a newer Audi 80. So I hope I can be lucky and that it has the right intake. I have found this site useful for cross referencing parts for my Cavalier diesel which is very hard to find parts for: https://webautocats.com/etka/audi/a80/ Dyslexic Viking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asimo Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 21 hours ago, Mr Pastry said: Is the engine with the single barrel carburettor identical spec. internally to the one with the two barrel carburettor? When the 2B2 carb (mk1 Audi 80GL, 85hp) fell to pieces I replaced it with a single choke from an LS, 75hp. It ran ok but the throttle linkage was completely different and I went nuts trying to make that linkage work properly, and vengefully scrapped the car, after six good years. There may be internal differences between these engine variants, but the carb. models are so low-tech anyway such differences will be trivial and I would ignore them.

Only been stuck in a lift once - donkeys years ago at Woolworths in the goods lift. Something tripped the breaker on the main supply to the lift - there I was stuck for ages till the Otis man came as no one else would touch it and flick it back on. On the plus side I had some Spira bars to keep me company. There was no lift shaft to fall in to. I was in the lift, the lift was in the shaft, they tend to be quite a tight fit.

High Jetter Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Though if the doors were forced open with the lift floor only 2' from the top of the opening, there would be that risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 FINALLY Got the thermostat for the Cavalier and IT FITS. Not sure how things will go with the original housing mated to the different top but they certainly appear to fit. We'll see. The Civic brakes were squealing yesterday and they are down to the indicators. I picked up some new pads today so I'll try to fit those after work. Hopefully nothings seized as I want to crack on with the Cavalier. BorniteIdentity, dome, 320touring and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
