1989 Audi 90 review from UK and Ireland
"Stylish, reliable but expensive to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thermostat stuck causing the head gasket to blow, very expensive.
Back callipers seized and the regulator on the brakes also seized - common fault apparently and very expensive, cost approximately £450.
Check the handbrake thoroughly before purchasing as they can be bodged.
General comments?
Good reliable car, but a little heavy on the petrol. Engine has a wonderful trustworthy sound to it.
