1990 Audi 80 review from Netherlands
"High performance and costs, lovely car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems with the front suspension
Bad fuel pump
Troubles with the cold start injector
Electrical problems with the light switch.
General comments?
When the car is in a good state it's really perfect!
Only trouble is that there is a lot of work to be done before you get the car in a good state.
I'm no mechanic, but with a good manual it's possible to do almost all the repairs by yourself (that's a big plus).
I bought my Audi for 1000 euros and needed for about 1200 euros extra for repairs to get my Audi in a perfect state.
