Audi Quattro Sport questions . . .

[Steve Meyer]

>From what I've heard there is no factory wiring
diagram for this car due to the fact that they were
hand built. That and the availability of parts would
be the most difficult things to overcome in case of a
breakdown. There is a local guy who owns (or used to
own) a SportQ. His was sitting for two years (last
time I heard about it) trying to find someone to find
an electrical problem. Granted we are in Iowa and
there aren't too many Audi gerus around!

Good luck!
