Key operated central locking system fails intermittently on drivers door. This is caused by a leak in the vacuum pump (central locking is vacuum operated) and is costly to repair.
No other problems to report.
I wanted an Audi because of their reputation for quality and reliability, and the 80 does not disappoint.
The early nineties styling still looks great, but the interior is looking dated and the equipment levels are poor for it's class.
I found mine to be a huge bore to drive. The power steering is essential as the car is so heavy, and the 2 litre 8 valve engine just isn't up to the job. The 16 valve version has an extra 40 horsepower.
Not a drivers car, but if you want a safe family car for a couple of grand - here it is.
I have an identical car and I would not agree with your statement, I find the car a great balance of sports car and family car and I do enjoy driving this car.
The 2.0e engine is the best economic/power/solid solution for Audib4 in Europe, maybe in USA the petrol is cheaper?!!! and I have noticed in your movies that there are no cars under 3.2litre,
Great drive, excellent erodynamics, great comfort and perfect perfomance.
I am a one year owner of a 1995 audi 80 2.0 E Sedan which has clocked 114,000km
My only disappointment was a diagnosed air sensor which cost me $40.
The interior is dark blue and comfortable except for lack of room on the drivers side.
It is economical on the run and when handled with a smooth drive.
