1986 Audi 80 review from UK and Ireland
"A workhorse who needs more attention than I would give!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's door Llck does not operate.
Oil leaks.
Clogged feeder pipe.
Water getting into the engine (hence blocked feeder pipe from sludge)!
Wheel bearings.
Shocks.
Dash lights and speedo not functioning.
Oil pressure valve malfunction.
Engine mounts.
Brakes grinding.
Seats are worn.
Heater/fan in car has stopped working.
Rear de-mister only works if the fog light is on.
Numerous CV boots gone!
General comments?
But, I expect that from a car of this age.
It is fun to drive (needs power steering though!).
There is not a spot of rust on the entire car (great plus for a car of its age).
Very easy to work on.
