1992 Audi 100 Avant Quattro review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New ECU, expensive (£1000) - paid by warranty.
New knock sensors, cars torque delivery under full throttle varied - performance now much better.
Engine very smooth but not fussed about being above 4500rpm.
Excellent high speed cruiser - and fast 'A' road car.
New power steering pump - leaked badly.
Aome new hydraulic tappets changed - rattled prior on warm start up.
Not changed exhaust yet, Audi system approx £1500, but fortunately as this car was registered prior to CATS becomming legal I can remove them (2 off) and save a considerable amount of money.
Car has full VAG history.
General comments?
Generally not as reliable as I would have thought, although some problems were obviously down to the previous owner not bothering.
I would have preferrred the engine to develop more torque lower down, the S4 would provide that but spares for those are even more expensive than for this one.
