1993 Audi 80 2.6 V6 Quattro review from Australia and New Zealand
"Perhaps the one I had was not a good example?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the power steering pump at just 90,000kms!
Fuel pump sender unit wouldn't register below 1/2 tank.
Unexplained loss of power (which even the useless local Fuel Injection 'specialist' couldn't diagnose (turned out to be one corroded joint)
Wouldn't start one cold morning.
Central locking was so slow to operate.
Front doors suddenly sagged slightly.
Big problem was finding a mechanic who really knew about these cars!
General comments?
Over rated. Even with the quattro it didn't seem very confident in the dry and was good in the wet largely because of its lack of power!
Too expensive to run with too many major repairs for such a 'young' car.
