1988 Audi 90 review from UK and Ireland
"Understated and brilliant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to do a few jobs when I first bought this - some due to lack of use, it's 18 years old and only got 61k on the clock - one previous owner.
Temperature sender, idle control valve and some wishbone bushes had it as good as new.
General comments?
This is one of the few cars I have owned that's a "repeat buy". Audi 90s are that good I couldn't do without one!
Its shape doesn't seem to have aged much, and with a private plate mine looks newer than it is.
Comfy, reasonable on fuel, the fantastic torquey 5 pot engine.. parts are not too dear if you know where to go (GSF or similar) although some jobs are tricky.
If you are looking for one, go for the 2.2 or 2.3 10 valve. The 2.0 I have is lacking slightly in power and the 20v models don't have the same low end torque.
