Dont know what i should do
Hi guy's
So heres the story. i bought a 1988 s4 n/a i think its a glx. Its been standing still for over 15 years. Im a bit scared to start it. I didin't even turn it over. What i did do is change all the fluids. And now the question.
Should i just try to start it or should i first do a rebuild? I dont know how rotarys do after standing for so long. Thanks

Ok thanks i wil try that. Do i have to take the intake of an clean everything out? Or isnt that nessesery? And can a Rotary freaz up like a piston engine? The previous owner took good care of here. Atleast the service history says so . She had fine 118k kmtrs. And only did 10000 kmtrs a year. So i gues Every thing should be ok in There ?

So she has finaly shown a sign of life. I can get her started with Some starter spray when she's cold but Everytime i touch the gas its stops running but idles fine. And when she's up to temp i can slowy accelerate a bit net then same story. A friend of mine sayd it could be the old gas in the tank. I forgot to draine it. You guy's think its the problem?

Can i clean tje injectors myself? Ive seen a fluid that you put in your gastank that should clean the injectors. Is this the same or should is just let a specialist doe it? And another question what is the best octane level i sould use ? Ive read that in the us they use 85 or somthing but here in belgium tje lowest you can get is 95. Could this be a problem?
