Kinny Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Help please. Restoring 80 CAB 2.6 M533 VBV. Getting on nicely,. Couple of questions - How do I tell which power unit it has. There are 2 power ratings for 2.6 engine and V5 gives no clue. As you can see from picture, it is a very quiet yellow colour. Anybody help with Audi exact colour?

Magnet Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hello Mark, Looks a very nice project. Not sure how much of this is going to help help but:- Were there indeed two power outputs from the 2.6 engine, or are you confusing it with the slightly later 2.8? If it were mine, I would attempt to get the build record for the car via. the VIN. I believe there is an on-line Audi VIN decoding system. This should clarify any engine output query, and equality importantly give you a colour code. You should be able to find a code plate somewhere (boot area was popular and front slam panel). Stabs at possibles:- LN1M - Lemongelb which ran to 1999. LK1D - Jasmine. 93/97 . LY1B - Brillantgelg - but might be later. Kind regards, Gareth.

Kinny Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Thanks Gareth Much appreciated. Tried MyAudi but answer came back as Null (very strange) and now will not let me re-register. Will try some other source later. Yes definitely two options 2.6(102KW/139HP) 05.1195-08.2000 or 2.6 (110KW/150HP) 06.1993-08.2000. Thanks for the colour tips Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Doesn't MyAudi apply to more current/new vehicles Mark? Might be worth Googling VIN checking in general, and homing in to Audi from there. If all else fails, then no doubt a call to Audi Customer Services UK will point you towards the appropriate contact. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
