Hi Gareth thanks for the names of those brokers. Thats really helpful. I remember having a reasonable quote from Adrian Flux in the past. Ye that would be a good idea to insure the 2 Audis together and it would make sense as my girlfriend and i both live together but just not married yet. The B4 audi isnt up and running yet. We bought it about a year ago. The car had been standing for 10 years and the guy who owned it just never got round to fixing it as he had other projects but my girlfriend fel in love with it so i had to buy it and i liked the idea of us both having the same car although one is a B3 and the other a B4. We got the car running after fitting a new radiator and it sounded pretty good until it just cut out and theres been no spark since. The coil and coil module are both fine as we tried them on my car. Its good having 2 similar cars for testing parts. Its got a brand new battery, rotar arm, distributor cap, spark plugs and ht leads but still no spark. Ive done a lot of research and believe the crank sensor which i think is located on the gearbox or the ignition pulse sensor also known as hall sender or eye of the distributor which is inside the distributor is the problem but while we have been trying to get a spark the intank fuel pump went. My girlfriend fitted a brand new bosch pump as she fitted one in my car about 2 weeks before hers went and knew she could do it as my car runs fine since she fitted it. When the new pump was fitted in her car it primed as it should but after not being able to do anything on the car over the winter it stopped priming so we took the pump out and it looked rusty. We cleaned it up and put fresh petrol in the car but although the pump looks ok and is not rusty it still doesnt prime so weve got 2 seperate issues now of no spark and no priming of the pump. Were changing a lot of sensors and weve got a new pump, housing and wiring so if we can get it priming hopefully its just the no spark we need to work on. Once we get it running we hope to find some original 15 inch wheels and possibly a full respray. All good fun tho. Hopefully one day we will have 2 very tidy classic Audis!!! Sorry for the long story but these old cars give us a lot of enjoyment! This is the part inside the distributor which may be the no spark cause. Thanks Ian!!!
