My New 1990 AUDI 200T With 32K

[superfly.nn]

Got this beauty today and delighted with it. Only 32k on the clock and totally original. 2.2 Turbo engine pulls along nicely. I will bring it along to the next cruise if I know dates and places.

Cheers,
Niall.

[gpk_gti]

wow! what a find!!! only 32000kms???? can that be right?

looks immaculate!! .. now im jealous!hehe

[Wayne90q20v]

Nice find. Did they come with quattro drivetrain as std or is it fwd?
Also I think that engine is essentially the same as S2 motor. Does handbook qote power figure? I think stock S2 was about 165kw - give or take 5.

I have a feeling 200T are 10V. Only S2s and S4s are 20V in Australia.

[superfly.nn]

Yeah.. its a 10v

It is a 10v 2.2 motor (not sure of the engine code).
The 200 Turbo Quattro is the 20v engine shared with the S2/RS2 and I'm pretty sure none of these got to Aus. It is a standard front wheel drive. A coupel of minor repair needed (new pads) and is it due for it 6th service although the old man I bought it from said it was serviced once a year not all the stamps are up to date. The car is de-badged from factory but the were kind enough to put the badges in the tool kit. There is a trip computer and the screen is light up but I don't know how to get it to work. Anyone here have an tips on that.

I'll upload more pics soon.

Engine codes KH or JY matey, great car man, that was miles ahead of its time that one.
Cheers

More pics...

More eye candy..

[gpk_gti]

bloody brand new inside!!! did the old guy explain why it has such low k's???

[superfly.nn]

Never left edgecliff

yeah, the old guy has 3 cars that are his - MERC 550 SL, Toyota Landcruiser and a Golf GT. The Audi is his wifes car and he never drives it unless he is taking her out to the shop. Due to some family issues 10 years ago and an accident (she got run over) the lady stopped driving in about 1999 and this ties in with a long gap in the service history but all the K's in the log book checks out. I met her and she explained that she just gave her drivers license back to the RTA and there no need for a car. Its the real deal. I'd rather not say how much I paid but if you saw the advertisement you will have an idea.

Wow looks like you've got a real gem, with a proper backstory too. Here is the red book link to this car:

You gotta love the original 99k sale price

Oh and don't worry, these things have great amounts of performance potential

[superfly.nn]

Paid more than that.

Yeah the redbook assumes average milage (k's) year on year so the upper value is representative but I paid more than that for it!

Update on my motor

Just thought I'd follow up on this thread and use it as a diary of the car to date.

Shortly after I got the 200 I wanted to have the car checked over and have a basic service done. I put the car in with Autohaus One in Alexanderia as I really didn't know who to use. They did a 30 point check on the car and changed a few bits and bobs. This set me back $400.
I was hoping for a full report on the condition of the car but just got a verbal re-assurance that it all looked in order. The mechanic did say they didn't have the kit there to run a diagnostic as the car was too old. Also they specialize in Mercs not Audi so he suggested that I talk with Autohaus Stricker Audi in Alexandria as they were specialists in older Audi's.

I Looked up Autohaus Stricker on the web and had a look over their blurb about their experience with Audi's. I also spoke to a member of the NSW Audi club and he highly recommended them.
I was impressed so called and made a booking. They were busy at the time so it was 2 weeks before I could get the car in with them.
When I arrived there was a 1991 Audi V8 being working in the yard, a few b4 80's and C4 100 so I was in the right place. Tony Haid runs the shop there.

Tony called me later that day to give me a preview for what was required. Basically the message I got was I was lucky to have such a rare car in such great condition but that it needed a lot of work to make it perfect. I was skeptical but listened as he listed all the items that he felt would need to be replaced/repaired. Ball park figure to put the car perfect. Wait for it - $12,000.

The most expensive of the items included:
Power Steering Pump + Rack recon (old rubber parts needed replacing)
Front Bearings (I knew there was a buzzing and I was sure it was in the rear)
Instrument Cluster replacement (faulty trip computer and system check - non essential)
New Spark leads + plugs (Misfire due to a dodgy lead)
Fuel Pressure regulator (car was slow to start up)
Brake Bomb
Rear muffler replacement due to rust
Exhaust hangers need to be replaced
Roof lining had sagged and needed refitting
etc..

Tony explained that the work could be done over time and he could start in order of priority and to contact him when I wanted to start.
He also said he knew someone who would likely take the car off me if I had to sell.

I didn't/don't have $12,000 to spend on my car and I'm not selling so I payed $110 for the report he provided and said I would get back to him when I wanted to start the work.

Tony contacted me about a week later and said he had sourced a new as old instrument cluster. I asked him if I could have the details of the supplier as I was putting the repairs on hold due to major lack of funds but wanted to secure rare parts until I could get the work done. He didn't reply with the details and has not replied to any emails since.

I decided that there had to be a cheaper way to keep this car on the road and got onto this forum.
I posted some of the details of the work required and the costing I had and Matt (aka Golf loon) contacted me. Said he would look at the car or alternatively knew a mechanic who happened to have a 200T and was breaking it for the engine alone and might be able to help me. (I won't put the name of that person on here yet as I don't know if he is on here or if he wants his name on this forum).

I called Matts contact and told him about the car and what I needed done.
The first batch of work has just been completed, for considerable cheaper then I was quoted for by the garage mentioned above, using all Audi original parts.
At the moment I'm getting a few parts together before the second batch of work starts.
I've just picked up a brake accumulator from a parts supplier in Luxembourg and a fuel pressure regulator from the US. Also managed to source an instrument cluster and just agreeing price at the moment.

Coming soon
Replace fuel pump
Full SS Exhaust System
New disks and pads all around
Re-trim the headliner
Repair stereo - Speakers are crackling like mad.

At the moment the car has 34k on the clock.
A big thanks for Golf Loon for his advise which has help me avoid selling the car. The car will be at the VW Nationals in May if you fancy a look.

Niall.
