The Project Pad

Everything is back together now other than the two axles. I should have a new CV tomorrow to get the passenger side axle installed.

Today I wired up the reverse lights and used the 016's transmission harness. There was a sensor int the rear of it (near the center diff) that I assumed was maybe a neutral sensing switch for cruise control, but it never had continuity (gear, reverse or neutral). Any ideas? The 01E does not have this switch/sensor and since it was always open, I left the two wires open. Was it maybe on older 016's for center diff locking?

I didn't get to the launch control yet today cause I couldn't find a 5 pole relay to "invert" the clutch switch. I'll do some more searching tomorrow.

sweet, looks like it wasn't very hard

Quick write-up of the courtesy blinker/komfort blinker/"tap to pass" retrofit.

Part needed:
000-998-229 (000-998-229A can be used too) - comes as a kit with a relay, harness, splice connectors and a zip tie.





Next, remove all items necessary to access your hazard (four ways/emergency blinkers) switch. In the 200's case I had to remove the steering wheel, upper steering column cover and the knee panel thing. Next, unplug the harness from the hazard switch and splice in the wires from the komfort harness. By splice I mean add the new wires in parallel to the existing ones. Here's the connections I made for my 1991 200 (I assume other ancient Audi's and VW's use the same colors however no guarantee):

Komfort harness --> vehicle harness

grn --> blk/grn
blk/wht --> rd/bl
wht --> blk/wht
wht/gr --> blk/wht/grn
brn --> chassis ground

I popped out each of the terminals I was splicing into and soldered my wires to them rather than cutting up my factory harness. I can always unsolder if necessary. You slide the brown portion of the connector and you can remove each pin. I tinned each of the terminals and each of the bare wires, attached them and reinstalled. Then slide the brown portion of the connector back to it's original position to lock the wires back into place.

Completed "splices":



Just ground the brown wire from the Komfort harness and you're all set! Put everything back how it was!

Looks even easier for your car: http://www.audic4.de/komfortblinker.html (us Chrome for translate).

Wow nice, good find. Thx

Less of the amenities, more of the go please

Seriously though, that is a cool little mod, definitely adds to the highway-cruiser element of the 200

Today I dropped off the D2 S8 calipers I purchased for my B5 to be powdercoated and I think I have decided that I'll install them on the 200 instead. It deserves the parts more.

Now, what rotors are normally used. I think I recall ur20v saying that I can use B6 S4 rotors. Does that sound correct?

Lol, I agree! The car is complete other than the drivers side axle then the car will be out ripping again!

And it's the little additions that really make me happy...like an extra gear will be nice. lol

323x30 d2 a8/s8 rotors... If building a custom bracket anyhow, I'd opt for d2 345mm disc if your 17's could swallow it...

Shortened axle in route! Should have it Friday afternoon

Damn you guys and your fast national shipping... !!! gah

You're looking at the first running and driving 01E T44 in the states (as far as I know)!!! Probably one of a handful ever.

Quick clip coming soon!

Woot woot. Give me some feedback on the axle length

That's great! I'm happy for you I'm sure all of your trial and error/ research will save us a lot of time and money.

Win!

TPIWWV!

Hanks masterpiece:





All assembled:

Teh awesome! Mine will follow soon

Nick, contact Doug at Apikol. He has brackets on the shelf to fit the d2 s8 calipers and 345x30 rotors to g60 strut housings. Just finished mine up here-- > http://motorgeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=6& ... ead#unread

That axle is far more true than when it came in. Looked like it had been launched a few times It was out about 1/2" over the span of 18 inches. Pretty normal for hard launching on stock axles. I can straiten them out pretty well by setting them up in a press fixture and rotating them once welded to get them within 1/8" or so. Probably feels a little smoother at speed now.

Glad it worked out.

News Flash: I saw it in the wild...

WOOT WOOT! Congrats Nick!

Man I've been looking for this on their site monthly even after I pieced together my kit out of mere curiosity. But alas the only bracket I had available was OEM RS2. So I had no choice but 323. Once my rotors need replacement this will be the next logical upgrade path... thanks for posting...

I'd love to have an 01E'd 200 in the future, guess I should see if/how fast the 20v can eat 016's first
