Carburetor Audi 80 B3. Topic in "Car Repair" by sportcar, Aug 11 The Audi 80 carburetor has a pair of falling air mixing chambers at its disposal.
Audi 80 cars are simple and reliable, but the carburetor eventually fails and cannot be repaired. Keihin 2 - for Audi engines only B3 platforms. Typical malfunctions of Audi carburetors.
To eliminate all the shortcomings, a more fine tuning of the carburetor is required, it can be done by a specialist. Pierburg 2EE Ecotronic is a carburetor with an electronic control unit, installed on Audi 80 platforms B2 and B3 with volume 1. Vasya, tell me please - the mixture quality adjustment screw should be installed o-ring rubber or not? Press firmly on the slow bar .. In any case, the excess oil must be drained or pumped out with a syringe ..
SanyaG last online 6 hours ago. Alexander Golub, 31 years old. Now the accelerator has flowed again and had to be disassembled. An autopsy showed that cracks had formed under the lid, and plus the second chamber was coked up and did not open .. I cleaned everything with a carburetor cleaner, then lubricated all the mechanisms with a WD-shroud, put washers and fitted the lid under the case .. Putting everything in place, I started it normally, but how I drove, then the revolutions hung by 2 thousand. After that I took apart and put everything back two more times, but the result remained the same ..

Today I had to go to that carburetor and he sentenced the accelerator pump lid! Hike my alignments killed her. The balls dangle inside and I did not bent it very much beforehand with a hairdryer - but that's it, the ball does not hold the fuel .. I was very lucky that he had such a cap, someone donated his old carb.
We went over everything again, installed it and the car flew .. Having talked well with him, I want to note from his words - Keikhin 1 cool carburetor, tenacious and economical! But his main problem is an accelerator pump made of dibbles.
Everything would be fine if the body of the carburetor and the lid were thicker, and they turned out to be very delicate, and they stand above the collector where there are large temperature drops. For myself, I drew conclusions from the conversation - the sealant and the carburetor are not compatible things - it should not be there anywhere!
If you cut the gasket out of cardboard - it’s paranoid for a maximum of a month, don’t repeat after me. If you make a gasket under the accelerator cover, initially it should not be there, then the hole should be larger than the membrane. The lid should press the membrane and the gasket around is purely for safety reasons .. I hope it will be useful information and do not repeat my mistakes - extra funds and a lot of time were wasted ..
As for the wedged second camera, I will add - periodically you need to use it so that this does not happen. And in my case, it flies a little from the breather - for this I have already bought a tank from the Volgovskiy hydraulic booster.

Audi 80 cars fell in love with their simplicity, reliability, excellent corrosion resistance. Many car enthusiasts still enjoy using Audi on B3 and even B2 platforms. However, the headache for the owner of the 80s Audi models is the carburetor, which eventually becomes unusable. First, car enthusiasts try to repair the original, but then they think about which carburetor can be used as a replacement.Our article will help you with minor repairs or finding a suitable replacement.
From the moment the Audi 80 was launched on the B1 platform and until the B4 platform was launched, the cars were equipped with carburetor engines. Initially, German Pierburg carburetors were installed, then with the start of the B3 platform, Japanese Keihin were added.
In 1991, a platform with the B4 index appeared, in which gasoline versions were equipped only with injection engines. From the moment the B1 platform was launched until the B4 platform appeared, the following were installed:
- Solex 35 PDSIT - only for early models of the Audi 80 platform B1;
- Pierburg 1B1, Pierburg 1B3 - simple single-chamber carburetors, installed on Audi B2 engines;
- Pierburg 2B2, Pierburg 2B5 - two-chamber carburetors, installed on Audi B2 engines;
- Pierburg 2E2 - for Audi engines of B1 and B2 platforms;
- Pierburg 2EE Ecotronic - carburetor with an electronic control unit, installed on the Audi 80 platform B2 and B3 1.6 liter engines;
- Keihin 1 - for engines Audi B2 and B3 platforms;
- Keihin 2 - for Audi engines only B3 platforms.
Keihin and Pierburg carburetors are made up of many parts. During operation, moving parts will wear out, internal fuel and air passages become contaminated, which leads to a significant deterioration in engine performance. The main faults are air leaks, the development of moving parts, cracks in the diaphragms.
Often the reason for the deterioration of the Audi 80 engine is a crack in the elastic cushion installed between the carburetor and the intake manifold. Additional air enters through the crack, which significantly depletes the air-fuel mixture. For diagnostics, it is enough to shake the carburetor with your hand while the engine is running. If the motor stalls, then the elastic cushion must be replaced. The pillow cannot be repaired. Both the Keikhin and the Pirburgs are susceptible to the problem.
Over time, rubber hoses and gaskets lose their elasticity and break. Additional air is sucked in through the cracks in the hoses, the mixture becomes leaner. Defective hoses should be carefully inspected and replaced if necessary. To search for leaks, you can use a quick-start aerosol can, carefully treating suspicious places with it. The change in speed will tell you where the suction is.
Parts most susceptible to wear are the needle valve, needle valve seat, accelerator pump parts, throttle valve actuator assembly. With the wear of the needle valve, the level of gasoline in the float chamber rises, the mixture is enriched, this leads to increased consumption and deterioration of the engine. The needle valve cannot be repaired; it must be replaced. Carburettors with a depletion between the throttle shaft and the throttle body are also not repairable.
Many motorists do not understand why to put Solex on Audi, and are trying with all their might to restore the worn-out Keihins. But when trying to restore Keikhin, a motorist is faced with the fact that spare parts for them have not been supplied for a long time, or the price of spare parts is prohibitively high. Therefore, in this case, it would be reasonable to replace Keikhin with domestic Solex from VAZ and Niva cars. The Ozone carburetor, which was installed on the VAZ 2106 and Niva 2121 cars, turned out to be less reliable in operation due to design flaws, therefore it is not recommended to install it.
There are several varieties of Solex: DAAZ-2108, DAAZ-21083, DAAZ-21073. The DAAZ-2108 carburetor is installed on front-wheel drive cars VAZ 2108 and VAZ 2109 with an engine volume of 1.3 liters. The DAAZ-21083 model is installed on VAZ 21083 and 21093 cars with an engine volume of 1.5 liters. Niva cars are equipped with the oldest model DAAZ-21073, it is designed for a volume of 1.7 liters.
To figure out which Solex is suitable for your engine, you need to know its volume. The volume of the engine can be found both from the vehicle title and by the first two letters of the engine number.For an Audi 80 with a volume of 1.3 liters, Solex with an index of 2108 is suitable, a carburetor 21083 is suitable for a 1.6-liter engine, and Solex 21073 from Niva is installed in 1.8-liter engines of the Audi 80. On a 1.6 liter engine, it is allowed to install a carburetor 21073 from Niva.
- Carburetor 2108, 21083 or 21073, depending on the engine size;
- adapter for installing Solex on the intake manifold;
- new air filter housing.
It is also often required to rework the air damper drive cable and install an additional wire to supply power to the idle economizer valve. It is convenient to take power to the valve from the positive wire of the ignition coil. When powered from the coil, the valve will not function as an economizer, but will cut off the fuel supply when the engine is turned off, which prevents a possible glow ignition.
Usually, after the correct installation of Solex, the car engine starts immediately. Further, idle speed, operation in transient modes and dosing of gasoline with a sharp opening of both throttle valves are adjusted. Then a test drive is made, after which problems are often identified: dips during acceleration, detonation, pops from the intake manifold and exhaust system, increased gas mileage. To eliminate all the shortcomings, a finer carburetor adjustment is required, which a specialist can perform.
It is rather difficult to perform the adjustment on your own; additional equipment is often needed, such as a stroboscope, a gas analyzer. Usually, when adjusting, it is necessary to replace the main air and fuel jets, the idle channel jet, sometimes it is necessary to replace the accelerator pump cam. To fine-tune the carburetor, sometimes it is necessary to disassemble the carburetor several times to replace the jets, but after the final adjustment, Solex pleases the motorist with its stable and long work.
