Three volume set 89-91 100, 200, inluding 100 Quattro, 200 Quattro, Wagon,
Turbo and 20V Turbo. No mention of V8 - unlikely it is extraneous.  "...
that I know of..." would cover a lot of cars.

Has anyone had the rear diffs apart to look inside on the later model 89-91
200TQs?

Sure I may be dreaming, but why not? This is in line with some of the 'makes
sense' kind of upgrades that Audi does without making mention of them.
