IHK 11

Hi its under the thin one. It looks like a bracket mounted to the side of the engine. It has 2 bolts holding it on and looks like it may have a gasket. Thanks.

Hi i have a 1990 Audi coupe 2.3e 5 cylinder 10 valve which has an oil leak and i think its coming from a part which is attached to the side of the engine which may have a gasket i could replace but i dont know what this part is called. I was hoping someone on here might know? Thanks. Its the silver metal piece that is bolted to the side of the engine under the black hose. Thanks.

Good idea. Thanks.

Hi ive got a 1990 Audi coupe B3 type 89b and my rear right wheelarch has rotted pretty badly. Ive tried to find a replacement repair panel but i csn only find one for a audi 80 which is diffetent. Does anyone know where i could buy a replacement wheelarch? prefferably a new one. Thanks.

Hi ive got a 1990 Audi coupe 2.3e B3 and my heaters blower motor is only working on number 4. Ive seen a lot of people with similar Audis get the same problem and 9 times out of 10 its the blower motor resistor. I bought a new resistor for my car and removed the old one at the weekend but the one i had bought was totally different. The new one only had a 4 pin connector but the original had a 5 pin connector and the connector from the blowwer motor could plug into it too. It was obviously not the right part. My original part number for the resistor is 894959263 but i cant get one anywhere. I csn however get one with the part number 893959263 which looks identical to my original part but the 3rd digit is one number higher on mine. Does anyone know if this part will fit my car? It looks identical and the connector is for 5 pins like mine. Thanks.

Hi have you checked the fuel pump is priming. I had the same problem when my intank fuel pump died on my coupe 2.3e and it would start then immedietely cut out. Could also be the idle stabilizer valve. If theres a split in the hose the car might not run. Good luck.

Hi my heater blower motor has stopped working on settings 1,2 and 3 but works well on 4. I think the problem is the blower motor resistor.ive bought a new resistor and i was just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the old one. I dont know if it clips in or has bolts. I just dont want to damage anything and cant find any videos showing how to do it. The cars a 1990 Audi coupe 2.3e B3. Thanks.

Thanks for all your help. Really appreciated.

Thats great thanks.

Its a manual 5 speed gearbox.

Hi thanks for replying. The only thing i could find is a gearbox drain plug. Thanks.

Hi i want to change the gearbox oil on my Audi coupe but dont know where the filler plug is. Ive found the drain plug to drain it. Does anyone know where the filler plug is located and how do you know where the level is? Any help would be reslly appreciated please. The cars a 2.3e b3 with a 5 cylinder ng engine. Thanks.

Ye these things happen sometimes but just happy its all good now. 👍

Hi i forgot to update what happened on here. The car did go into the garage last summer and unfortunstely the gearbox was completely finished. The car still ran but it started grinding really bad in reverse 1st and 2nd. I had to get a new gearbox well a second hand one. I bought one off ebay which i was assured fits my car but it didnt so i had to buy a second gearbox which was an absolute peach. I got it from a scrapyard in Stockton on tees with 76,000 miles for £160 delivered which was really good and its been great ever since. There is a 3 digit code on the gearbox which should also be on the cars handbook or service book. I know one is ggg which mine wasnt and the other is something like hfd. I also changed the clutch at the sametime. My mechanic told me that i was really unlucky that the gearbox had gone as they are pretty bulletproof but the car runs perfectly now. Hopefully your gearbox might be ok tho. I think changing the gearbox oil is a good place to start. Good luck.

Hi everyone i just wanted to share my joy in finally getting heat in my Audi. Ever since ive owned the car the heater has been cold. Ive changed the thermostat, radiator, hoses, expansion tank, coolant temp sender and sensor and heater controls. Ive also flushed the matrix with water, white vinegar, coke and lemon juice but not much change so i thought il have to do the matrix but it looked a huge task for myself and a garage would charge a fortune. When i bought the car i looked through the service history and there was a receipt for a mahle heater matrix in 2002 so i kind of ruled the matrix out but it appears a heater matrix was bought but never fitted. When i finally got the dash out i realised the heater matrix was a valeo so couldnt of been replaced. I replaced the heater matrix with a new valeo matrix and replaced the foam on all the blend doors in the heater box with aluminium foil tape which is absolutely brilliant and keeps the heat well. The old foam was absolutely shot and completely gone on the blend door nearest to the blower motor. The heater is now really hot and warms up very quickly. It took me 5 days and a lot of chocolate bars to get it done but well worth the hassle. The most difficult part was getting the dash back in and lining up the windscreen heater duct with the heater box. I labelled every screw, bolt, connector and part which helped so much. Id just like to thank everyone on the forum over the years for help and advice. People have said about the matrix and the blend door insulation. I didnt think i would be able to do this job as it was above my capability but after watching lots of videos on youtube and talking to people on the forum i just had to give it a go. I would advise anyone who wants to do this to just take theyre time label everything take photos and just give it a go. Im no mechanic but if anyone wants any advice on how to do this id be happy to share how i done it. When i had the dash out i thought what have i done but dont be overwhemed Thanks.
