I have a 1980 Audi 4000 4cyl/4spd. with 65,000 miles
and love the car.
When the day comes to replace this car it will be with
another Audi.

DEFECTS ENCOUNTERED:

at 7000 miles waterpump began to leak.        Repaired under warrt.
at 60,0000 miles timing belt broke.           Repaired at dealer for 110.00

This are the only major problems I've encountered.
The dealer service center has been excellent.

I wish you would have been more specific with the problems you have 
encountered.

The bottom line is, of all the cars I've owned the Audi cost me 
the least in repairs, and has been the best to drive.
