I think I am glad that I just roll down the window crank to get air in my rare beast (joke)! I thought about looking for Air but it does not seem worth it if I...
Hi Bruce, Did you sell your Audi? I am just catching up on email and the link says the item is no longer available. We will certainly miss you if you sell the...
Hi all, I have seen a lot of technical correspondence going back and forth and am impressed by the members knowledge - even though some members can be abrupt...
Andy, Â I still have it and now, finally, after giving her a "time out" for over 7 years, I finally have her back on the road and enjoying her daily, save for...
Thanks for the update Bruce. I did not realize that you had not been driving the black Audi for 7 years! I wonder if I will end up the same way because of the...
Hi all, We just returned from a 5 hour drive to see a 74 VW Westy camper and have a deal pending certification and delivery. We just fell in love with this ...
Hi Andy. I, personally, do not recommend prolonged storage of any vehicle. However, I see that you are going to anyway. This sounds crazy, but the first...
Mine faired well during storage, only rear was up in the air. If garaged, your main concern is draining all the gas for long term storage and the brakes.. Me...
Thanks Benz, That is very detailed info. I am wondering if I should drive it 10 or 20 miles every 2 years then (and then I would not have to drain gas except...
Hey guys. Audi driver magazine is running an article this month (September issue) with three of my cars in it (including the 100LS). It's a British mag, my...
Hi Andy. All I can say to your reply is that it always seems that the longer a car sits without being driven, that is that many more problems that will come...
That is awesome Rob. I used to teach at univ. myself in the 90s. This magazine may help Bruce sell his car too - not that we want him to sell it. Andy In a...
Thank you Aaron. I will have to think about what to do more once I find out how much insurance is on the 74 camper. The current owner is delievering it to my...
Hi Andy, You will receive many ideas and tricks for doing the right thing on the long time storing of your LS. But I'm sure you will do perfect job... I never...
Hi Theo, Thank you very much. I have been thinking more about your last few paragraphs (drive the car a few times a year - run the engine a while too, etc.)....
Hi Andy have you checked with a collector's car insurance, my 72 100LS is insured with Haggerty, it cost me $60 a year and the car is covered in storage and on...
Thanks Francois, I will look into this when I get the bus and ask about the Audi too. Do you have any comments on this? My wife has only been licensed for a...
I use Hagerty as well. They want to know that the car is garaged or they won't sell ya the insurance. Â Bruce Toski I use Hagerty as well. They want to know...
Your mind has not been on your work Bruce and that is why the brake job took so long! LOL In a message dated 07/09/2008 5:32:01 AM Pacific Daylight Time, ...
Ok, I feel like a moron asking this question, but here goes. Â What exactly constitutes the difference between a 1.9L GL engine and the 1.8L LS engine? Â ...
Bruce, The 1800cc (1760cc) has bore diameter of 81.5mm The 1900cc (1871cc) has bore diameter of 84mm I cannot remember seeing any other difference between the...
Thanks Ron. For some reason I thought the GL had 84mm pistons as well. Ok, a question for the 183 members. Anybody else need / looking for the proper v belts...
Hi, There was much discussion on this about a year ago. The issue appeared to be different compression ratios due to piston sizes / shape of bowl and ...
I have a used mechanical fan here, the pulley is 63 degrees. I have a used YD 004 583 engine, the crank pulley is 63 degrees. I have a used Audi 1985 5000S...
Eric, Did you ever find an engine? I ran across this post if you are still looking: http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/pts/818333730.html 1974 Audi 100Ls engine...
Hello v-belt owners! Guess that's all of us. Okay, here's my take on this: I don't drive my air-conditioned 71 Audi 100 LS much (doesn't currently run) and...
Patrick, You may have eliminated the rubber bushings for the alternator mount but ... that is about it. Now, a great idea would be to use a lathe to make all...
