1989 Audi 80 S review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front shock absorbers replaced with gas units.
All 4 tyres replaced with Bridgestone ER20s.
Automatic advance/retard diaphram on the distributor to be replaced.
Trademark tappet noise when cold.
Slight slackness in steering (non-PAS) to be looked at.
General comments?
Considering how much stick I give it this car, it just gets on with it. Won't rust and I don't feel safe in "normal" cars after having this. Fords etc feel too flimsy now.
A bit slow but very safe and surefooted and, no matter how hard you push the car, it looks after you. The next cars will have to be German and I want a rare Audi 90 Quattro Sport if I can find one.
