[200q20v] Fan fusible link question

[Brett Dikeman]

Check http://catalog.exist.ru ...select the '91 200 quattro 20v, or 
call one of the list's favorite suppliers and ask for help; I got a 
replacement fusable link a few months ago when mine cracked.

I wasn't aware of a fuseable link for any application on an Audi that 
would be spec'd for 30 amps.


   70-80 amps is correct, not 30.
