What things have gone wrong with the car?

Power Steering failed (common problem), leaking a large amount of fluid into the driver's footwell.

Differential Failed (common problem).

Self leveling rear suspension failed (250ukp+vat and fitting for each shock!)

Dash wiring failed.

Central locking failed on one door.

Fuel injection pump failed.

Wheel bearing failed.

2 CV joints failed.

General comments?

Absolutely awful car whose only saving grace was that it was built out of nice materials.

Parts prices are exhorbitant, my dealer in Cumbria seems quite reasonable (Harper & Hebson), giving compensation for parts not delivered on time through carrier's incompetence.

Auto box in the car seems to be a liability (looks like the differential is on the way out), but thecar is nice, comfortable and meets most of my criteria for transport when not stood in my drive awaiting repair.

Auto box seems to be the biggest problem.

Basically a good car although has had a few problems pas rack leakes badly cost £500, door locking failed again! radiator exploded in style a few weeks ago and nobody inc audi dealers can fix engine cranks at least 20 times before starting. all fuel pressures OK etc, but will not start as it should, also cv boots and rear wheel bearings seem a yearly job

my car a 1990 5 cyl est good for load lugging and drinking fuel!
