Wow sorry I've missed this thread . . .

Another victim errr Coupe enthusiast into the rabbit hole.  ;D ;D ;D Welcome . . .

I did the 034 injector kit as well as a new oxs sensor... That alone did wonders.

Also I'd replace the fuel filter. It's probably as old as the car. Its an easy and cheap box to check off on the reliability list.

Are you local to Michigan? Reach out if you have any questions.

Good luck with the car. Post some pics when you get a chance!!!!

Cheers-->

ok heres the deal... as messed up as this sounds, it apparently took only an oil change to remedy my other issue.
i was looking over the motor for loose grounds on top of the motor then i looked beneathto see if something came unplugged when i noticed the oil and filter needed to be changed out (it has been 3hrs of run time after head job) so i grabbed a filter that i had and some oil from murray's oops O'RIELLY'S did the oil change and it runs excellent!!! i don't get it. a family of  little german gremlins must live in my cq!

i actually live in royal oak, the car is not very photogenic right now... the guy i purchased it from did not take the best care of it. he hit a guard rail with the passenger door and rear quarter, and he put some american racing ugly ass rims on it with some snow hogging tires paint is faded in the usual spots and hood has millions of little rock chips on the black paint looks like the sky at night on my hood! electrical issues with the passenger side of the car, rear speakers, tail lights on that side and the third brake light. i figure it was from him kissing the guard rail. drivers seat has come unsewn in one of the seams and the bolster has worn through to the foam. he used some type of high heat lights in the foglights because there is a black spot smack dab in the middle of both of them. if anyone out there has some parts to help me get this one back to presentable please let me know. i would love to have this parked on woodward for the dream cruise!

this is the short list;

(b4 hood, cq paasenger door (preferrably black) black leather power heated drivers seat, wiring schematics for the cq's tail lights, rear muffler, audi tool to read and erase my fault codes, set of 5 tires 205/60/15's)

Sounds like you have a bit of work ahead of you . . .  I'd sugguest contacting Joe out of Toledo. He's got a few parts listed up on audifans.com right now. I would guess he has every part you need . . . .
