Inputs solicited -- 1990 - 90 - 20V Quattro

[Richard J Lebens]

I have a 1991 90 Q 20V

The only big expense was when it started running rough and the cause
was broken inlet filter parts on the Hitachi injectors.  Very delicate
and expensive.

The bomb was replaced once.

Another rough running episode that I thought was injectors turned out
to be the distributor filling with oil due to the rotted rubber
breather hose (replaced with the metal upgrade).

I have to find why fuze #4 is blown, no lights or radio inside.  It now
burns a quart of oil every thousand miles a problem that I've started
to look into.

I have had very little trouble in the 12 years I've owned it.  I am the
second owner, the first was V of A who put about 8,000 on it.  It now
has 160,000  It is pretty high quality and the appearance hasn't
deteriorated much at all compared to cars my buddies bought new (and
disposed of since)purchased at the same time.

The timing belt isn't that hard with the right tools.
