Hi Joe,

As far as Im aware the 2 door Coupe was introduced in Europe in 1988 and was basically an 80 with a shortened wheelbase and a modified rear end. Therefore the majority of the parts are similar for both models - It came with the 115 PS 2.0E as well as the two 2.3E engines before a number of 5 pot engines were added later.

I am actually looking to place a 1.9 Tdi engine in a Coupe and am wondering if I will need to use one from an Audi 80 or if i can get away with the higher output later 1.9's from A3's and A4's. Are you also looking to do an engine swap or just looking to source general parts?

Cheers,

Laurence
