1996 B5 Quattro 2.8L 5spd
For Sale1996 Audi A4 Quattro
Description:
'96 B5 V6 5spd manual here. Was sitting for maybe 7 years before purchase last month (Aug 2023). It's got potential if you have the time and know-how! NOTE: I recommend towing, read on...
Valvoline did the following last month:
- New air filter
- New wipers
Oil changed (full synthetic)
- Power steering fluid changed
- Radiator fluid changed
I did the following last month:
- Replaced climate control unit
- New tires (under 300mi driven)
- New ignition control module
- New mass airflow sensor
- New shift boot and **** Extra Parts for You
- Spark plugs
- Fuel filter
- 3 cassette adapters
- Hella tools
The Quirky
- Hood support arm is out (can buy new from anywhere)
- Driver door latch won't always spring back (can get donor from LKQ probably)
- Hood trunk lock cylinder missing (previous owner removed for another B5, pick one up at LKQ or eBay)
- Typical ~30 y/o German car window goofiness (all functional, just roll them up in stages, will reopen in auto haha)
The Super-Dee-Duper Stupid
- Howl upon acceleration. Could be fan clutch? (I can share a video of the sound upon request).
- Car cranks, starts, runs, then shudders and stalls
- Fuel pump primes, fuse and relay look good, tank is 80-90% full, gauge reads empty
- Was throwing CEL codes P1101, P1106 and P1250 last week (running lean, low O2 voltage). They aren't showing up currently.
Might be the fuel pump still, or maybe the system is stuck in open loop, could be wiring. When it was throwing codes I could clear them with a Bluetooth OBD2, but they'd come back, the car would run rough then stall. Now asking $1200. Open to reasonable offers, worst I can say is "Don't text me again" lol. Thanks for considering!
