Racking' my brain - advice requested, please.

You have a Type 85. Coupe GTs 1985-1987.5 are Type 85s. For a good general  info on your Coupe GT check out http://forums.audiworld.com/4000/msgs/3571.phtml For GREAT DETAILED info check out Huw's Audi Garage (a fellow listers page): http://www.humanspeakers.com/audi/index.html Not really sure what the breakdown for other cars is.

Forgive me for being fairly new to the list and owning an audi...  How do
you know what type of car you have?  I keep seeing people talk about a type
85 or type 44 and such.

Thanks

The leaky racks do seem to be only prevalent on type 44 cars.  BTW I have
a Jorgen rack on my '84 5kt and it's been about 3 years now and (knock
on metal) no leaks at all.
