Brakes wear down fast.
Digital clock lives its own life.
Carburetor trouble.
Rust (actually) in left front wing, and doors. And that is not by treating it bad.
Left front seat starts to wear.
Blinkers in front falls out.
Rear seat belts fastens.
The car seems very solid inside, except the seat upholstery.
It's comfortable and seems very safe to drive, despite it's age. Heels over a bit in tight corners though, and feels rather under-steer.
The car runs very economic at highway driving.I've been down in 0,56L/10km.
In the city it's no so good. 1,1L/10km.
The engine runs good at high speed, but a little noisy over 3000rpm.
Not the most spacious car. Small trunk.
Owned the same, some years ago. It went too fast at 132 000 km. Someone drove into it. Yours has a whole lot of kms. My engine was still perfectly intact. Got back from insurance and bought R 25. I liked driving this Audi.
One thing I had, the cable to the reverse lights indicator wore out by opening and closing the trunk. I can believe that not everyone has as much luck as I had with it.
The thing you wrote about brakes wearing out. I still remember thinking the same, at the time. There must have been something quite wrong with those, construction wise. I did not have to replace them, but sometimes I heard them cracking under not too much pressure.
