1989 Audi 80 S review from Netherlands
"Despite of the problems I had, I never regret I bought this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Temperature sender needed to be replaced.
Torn carburettor gasket.
I think I've had all common problems as for example: worn tappets, worn driver seat and a worn gear lever boot.
Ignition 'switch unit' replaced.
Timing belt tensioner bearing worn down.
Upper cooling hose broke from the radiator pipe.
General comments?
I still like to believe that this car is more silent than other brands with their last year models.
I like the acceleration and the steadiness in the corners and on the roundabouts.
First had 4 Pirelli tyres now the front wheels have Michelin tyres. This is a big advantage...
