1993 Audi 80 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The idle control sensor on the fuel injection failed. This did not stop the car but caused erratic running. Had to be replaced by VAG dealer at £160!!
Otherwise the car has been very reliable.
General comments?
Front tyre wear is heavy: 15,000 miles on a budget tyre; 20,000 max. on Michelin Pilots. The 2.0 litre 8v engine is underpowered for the size of car and only delivers 32mpg. The 16v would be a better choice. The boot is massive and with the seats folded down who needs a hatchback? Build quality is excellent, although red appears to be a colour that fades easily. I service the car myself as I would not pay dealer prices.
