Intermittently working fuel gauge.
Drivers seat side support worn through.
I bought this particular vehicle in auction, and was surprised that even with a fairly high mileage, that everything still worked as it should.
The obvious wear and tear of a high mileage vehicle was evident, but even then, the engine and gearbox were still in perfect tune.
I find the performance and handling very good, this even compares with new models that are out today.
Conclusion, buy a good one, you can't go far wrong.
That's low mileage for a audi 80 sport mine had 29k and died of rust in the last months of its life.
I am amazed to hear your Audi 80 suffered rust problems at 29k. The Audi 80 had a 27 stage galvanised body with injection cavity wax filling and almost never rust at all unless accident damaged.
I have a 1993 80 and after 12 years there is no rust at all, and I mean NONE anywhere on the car. I checked all the door bottoms, underside, chassis welding points, hinges, suspension mounts, fuel tank Etc.
These cars don't rust unless they have been damaged.
I picked up a 1996 Audi 80 Sport in an auction in New Zealand for $2400 (about £750). It is the 2.6 V6 version, and goes like a rocket. It has just passed its Warranty of Fitness test (MOT) with no problems at all. The only issue I have is stalling at low revs (coasting down hill, in car parks). As it is an automatic this is more of a problem than in a manual where you can just rev it a bit.
There is no rust at all, and it still turns heads here.
