1988 Audi 80 quattro review from North America
"This has been one of the best cars I've owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced battery twice.
Replaced Exhaust.
Wiper motor failed.
Replaced emergency brake cables.
Replaced rear calipers.
Replaced shocks/struts.
Replaced front rotors.
Rebuilt sloppy shifter linkage.
Lower outside door moldings are falling off.
Lifters have made ticking sounds since I've owned the car.
General comments?
My '88 Audi 80 quattro has been a great car since I purchased it. I have put 240,000 miles on it since 1997 and have only replaced items due to maintenance. Every single thing, including the A/C still works on the car. No complaints here at all.
