5 cylinder Audi's..

[sweep]

One of the finest engine sounds in my opinion!

My question is, what cars did they come in? I can't exactly afford an S2

[Llewelyn_]

Coupe GT are a reasonably priced 5-pot Audi!


(or a VW Santana if you want to go oddball!)

I had a MKII Passat GL5 and an Audi 100 Avant - both 5 cylinder. The Volvo 850 is 5 cylinder as is the Focus ST. Fiat Coupe 20v is 5 cylinder. If you go diesel then there is the Land Rover TD5 as well as Volvo and Mercedes models.

VW LT 2.5 10 valve diesel which was also used in volvo's.

Audi 100 and 200. 2.300cc and some come standard with a turbo. Had a 1988 2.3 Audi 100 myself a while back, wouldn't think twice about having another, awesome car

Audi 90 and early 80 quattro (they called it the 90 later).

I liked my 90 (both of them). Went well, made a nice noise and not too heavy on the juice. Very durable if looked after.

Got a 5 pot A6 TDI now. Doesn't make quite such a nice noise but 140 bhp, 50ish mpg and still going strong at 254k.....

B3 2.3E coupes are cheap enough to pick up, i have a 91 B3 coupe and i agree 100% about the sound.

Are they turbo, Bryan?

[Jizmondo Scrotmondo]

I had 16v Audi Coupe. It was a lovely motor but there was always that feeling that it should be a 5 pot, especially the sound. I'm thinking of selling my Golf after Chrimbo and I'm really hankering for a 5 pot Audi (with a Dolomite second) Nothing sounds as nice as a 5 pot IMO, turbo'd even more so.
I'm in the habit of scouring Ebay and Audi 5 pots don't seem as plentiful as they used to be (not in my price range anyway)

personally, I'd love a big old Audi 100 (preferably estate) with wheels, lowerage and an exhaust to bring out that sound.....

No mate, non turbo, they don't do a lot if money on ebay, you get a lot of car for not a lot of money, if you get an early 2.3 take the cat iff and fit a de cat pipe as this ups your power a bit.

[ag51bye]

early audi s4, One went on ebay for £1500 last week!

[bigt]

Some VW T4 vans have the 2.5 5 pot......best engine I have ever had in a vehicle

[86mike]

Has to be the Audi Coupe quattro, after thinking about it the Audi 90 2.3 quattro is pretty awesome.

[sweep]

That sounds naughty! Ah I need 5 cylinders in my life!

[andye]

Has to be done mate, I've been fortunate to own Ur quattros (10v and 20v) S2, coupe GT, 100 and 200 turbo over the years and the 5 pot is the most fantastic sounding engine. Although I now own a Colt Sapporo I still have a couple of VW t25 which both run 2.3 5 pots.

I'll just leave this here:



And maybe this:



5 cyl

[ToolsnTrack]

This thing was putting on quite a show at crail this weekend:

[jonw]

There was an 80 or 100 made with the 5 pot in the late 80's, not top of the range either.

Failing that the more modern VW V5's are a srceam. Have driven a Golf and a Bora and both can haul butt!

[Jizmondo Scrotmondo]

Audi 90 Quattros pop up now and then for good money. A lot seem to be neglected and they don't seem massively popular with the Audi crowd? Personally, I love them and would definately have one.
