Just got back from the dealership, it was fairly common, and you need a specialtool. Thought i had to buy a new wheel bearing housing.

While removing the tie rod from the wheel bearing housing, a sleeve(?) from the wheel bearing housing came along with the tie rod end. Now i cant get that sleeve of the old tie rod, and searching etka i cant find it. Has anyone experienced some ting similar, or know if i can buy the sleeve...

I just had some work done at the dealership, and the technician told me that the rear brake lines were incorrectly installed. I forgot to ask how to install them correctly. Does anybody have any pictures of the correct orientation of the rear brake lines?

Great!

I could not find any stickers, I know it should say on the brake reservoir, but after 22 years it's unreadable. I am going to take a gamble hoping that there is no difference, and just order them.

Are there any differences between Lucas and ATE rear calipers? I have ATE front calipers, and I need new rear brakes, but the only ones I can find is for the Lucas system. They seem to look identical and use the same size discs.

Sparkplugs are new and clean. checked for codes, looked like this first: Cleared codes, and tried again: I will change the crank sensor, and clean the maf (I have a k&n filter). I also had a code on the rear abs sensor, but i already knew about that, I can use a front or a fwd rear sensor...

Swapped the battery, and the car runs, icm delete complete! But the car still has a rough idle and somtimes "chokes" while driving. could it be the cam- or crank pos sensor?

I've never runned the icm with any of the new coils, just the old 3 pin coils. I think I have burned the starter motor from when I where looking for spark. I also forgot to disconnect the injectors the first couple of times I was looking for spark, so the sparkplugs sparkplugs were black and wet.

The coil i bought yesterday had spark, so today i bought 3 new ones. Installed them and tried to start, the car cranked really slow and did not fire up. I charged the battery for a couple of hours and tried again, still slow cranks. So i called a friend and had him help me jumpstart the car. It...

Just bought one coil, but there is some serious quattro weather, so I'll have to postpone testing a bit. Edit: new coil had spark, the beru ones where defect.

This is how I test for spark, the spark plugs are touching the valvecover for ground, and I get someone to crank the car while I watch the sparkplugs (now i got a sparktester which gives a light, as seen in post #10). It does not give spark with these coils, but it does with the old ones and...

It is as shown in the picutre i.e. the one i have drawn the number 1 on is the closest to the bulkhead and number 5 is the closest to the headlights. I think the numbers written inside the connector is the other way around, I am sorry for the confusion, I will double check tomorrow. Thanks for...

I'm sorry I did not really understand the diagram. Red: Ground Yellow: signal from icm Green: ground Pink: 12v What is wrong the coil pins or the icm pins?

I bought a testlight to check for 12v, which it had. I also bought this: It gave no light on the new coils, but it did give on the old. It seems like everything works except the coils. The coils where brand new, bubble wrapped and all, I connot have gotten 4 production error coils?
