Hallo zusammen,

Viele Grüße
Gerhard

Hier nun der Orginaltext aus meiner PN:


Good day Sir, Sorry but I want to ask for a great favour. I hope that you can understand english becouse I realy didn't speak german for a long time. I am living in Romania/ Constanta and I am the owner of a beautiful car Audi 100CD made in 1983. The car is in a very good shape (less schok absorber and carburater).
If you are so kind please help me with some specifications about carburetor for an enginne WH 1.9 l ,( how works and tips to fix it ) and also about engine (replace timing belt) . Could you point where may I find some files in electronic format from a repair manual for this old but good car? Danke
Have a good day. George

Hi George,

if you're planning to do any DIY repairs on this car and do not speak German, I would strongly advise you to purchase a "Haynes" repair manual. These Haynes books are very comprehensive books on all aspects of maintenance for your car in english language. In contrast to the equally good but more common Bentley manual wich only covers USA models, this one includes your engine.
you can order it directly from the publisher here. Amazon also sells it. ISBN would be 1859601723.
Sorry for not being able to assist with caburetor troubleshooting but I normally go to Audi and say "fix it" when I need something done on my car. Additionally, I have never owned any Audi that was not equipped with fuel injection.

Cheers,
Bastian

P.S.:
Wer kennst sich mit dem WH und dessen Vergaser aus und kann da noch was beitragen?

Hi George,

according to my Audi book, the WH has a Keihin carburettor. I think it is similar to the one I learned to hate in a Golf II.
There are two pages in the book with a detailed picture of the details.
Maybe it is helpful, even if it's in German?

If you want digital photos of these pages, please let me know your mail address. I will do it only tomorrow in day light for better quality.

Regards,
Manfred

George saugt sich wohl gerade 120MB Leitfäden zum Keihin/WH und zur Wartung, sollte also erstmal versorgt sein.

Gruss

Hi, Olly Sometimes ago I learned also russian laguage. I shoud try.

Best regards,
George

[george]

Hello Fourbee, informations than you have send to me are very good. I think that I can manage. Thanks
Some practice tips if you Know about carburetor

[Olli W.]

Hi George,

i will upload the file later that day & send you the link then.

I don´t speak Russian (only 2 or 3 words), but from browsing trough the manual, i can just guarantee, that it´s worth a closer look.

Ok, stand by...

Wsem bolschoj privet,
Olli

Olli, your car is quite beatiful, my wife tolds me that black is best colour for an Audi.

Olli hast du wieder dein Auto poliert ?
Schäm dich

It´s brilliant black LY9B - looks pretty elegant.
But keep in mind, that it requires a lot of care, in order to maintain that
deep glow.

It´s totally different with my other car - the 1986 Audi 80.
This colour is called Zermatt-silver, a strange mixture between silver & gold (depending on the light).
This colour looks always the same, no matter if you have washed the car or not - perfect for the lazy ones
On the other side, one can complain that it always looks somewhat dirty, so then again, taking care is a must. Otherwise people might think of an old rusty Audi in it´s final days on the road.



Ja Kurt,
vor ein paar Tagen...
Und der bleibt jetzt auch bis zum kommenden WE in der Garage.

Heute war allerdings erstmal der Fiesta von Kristin dran - der soll diese Woche nämlich verkauft werden.

Gruss,
Olli

[SL]

Christin will doch nicht etwa Audi fahren?

bestell Ihr schöne Grüße
Sandra

[Olli W.]

Hi SL,

Christin will doch nicht etwa Audi fahren?

Nein, leider nicht

Nächste Woche steht hier ein Ford Ka Jahreswagen, dafür aber immerhin mit 70, statt bisher 50PS. Ausserdem hat der schon den neuen Motor drin, also nix mehr mit "rängdängdäng" und Nockenwelle im Block.
Der Ka fährt sich super - schönes Fahrwerk und ist auch deutlich leiser als der FoFi.

Naja,
ich hätt den Fiesta ja auch behalten, wenn es ein XR2i gewesen wäre und dann ggfs. noch auf Fiesta Turbo umgebaut, ist aber leider nur ein 1.1i und das ist mir zuviel Arbeit, den umzubauen.

Erstaunlicherweise hat er noch nichtmal Rost an der Tankklappe - für ´nen 91er ist das schon ein Wunder. Technik & Lack ist auch ok, allein ein paar Beulen am linken Kotflügel stören die Optik (Kotflügel ist leider geschweisst und nicht geschraubt!)





Und falls jemand Interesse hat - einfach PN an mich...


Gruss,
Olli

ps. Grüsse zurück von Kristin

Hi Olli, I didn't receive the manual about Audi 100 /84 (in Russian language) that you promise. Please if it is still available send to merlinman43@yahoo.com.
Best regards,
George

[george]

Hello Bastian,
I agree, it is better for me to find a manual in English language but it is still o problem for me to buy this manual from Romania. The money transfer via net is a challenge. So that I try to find some useful information in any language in electronic format. I have some abilities in car repairs and using a dictionary for specific technical terms I believe that my car will be soon in good condition. Thanks again and if you ever come in Romania/Constanta please bring a manual for Audi 100 and I will pay cash.
Best regards,
George

This colour looks always the same, no matter if you have washed the car or not

Stimmt ja garnich Olli! Der Lack wird, je mehr Staub drauf is, noch Matter.

- perfect for the lazy ones

Das Stimmt nun wieder , aber morgen oder Freitag wird er gewaschen - für Köln!

Gruß
Bernd
