Week one:
Donor car comes in the form of a 2002 A4 1.8tq with 130k km and a tiptronic transmission.
No final plans for build as of yet, first impressions are to have a look at the crank and decide from there.
Haven't had time to edit my photos, but figured I'd post an early teaser for the locals.
Enjoy!
I see a dark grey coolant tank that I'll use for my car, and what's that silver cylinder below? Headlight auto-level sensor?
Speaking of coolant... when I went to take the elbow off the bottom of the IC, oil and coolant both spilled out, separately. So is the HG likely f'd?
WTF am I supposed to do with this mess? I'm assuming they go to headlights and the radiator and/or A/C condenser.
That's all for now. Day one was basically pulling off and disconnecting all the easy, obvious stuff and labeling what I know along the way. Today will get gritty as I dig deeper. This car was neglected.
