1985 Audi Coupe GT review from UK and Ireland
"Quality car, a little pricey to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake discs warped, new discs and pads never cured problem, wheel vibration at speed, electric window cable snapped, steering wheel loose, intermittent light/electrical problems, wheel bearings. Head gasket has just blown - damn.
General comments?
Nice to drive, especially with the 5 cylinder growl. Fit a Jetex exhaust; sounds superb and improves power. Handling nose heavy but improved with Sachs sports kit. Fuel consumption very good on long journeys - poor in town. Parts exorbitant unless you use specialists.
