Race Prepping an 1990 Audi 80

[Geraint Lloyd]

If you are talking about the factory alarm then there is a relay in the wire
from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid (at least there is on my
similar vintage 200). I would assume that you could bypass this relay then
pull the multi-pin connector on the alarm control box.

It should be in the Bentley

Most alarms shut down either the fuel or spark, sometimes both. Also
some will not allow the starter to engage. I guess what I'm saying is,
you will either have to figure out the alarm, or, eliminate it and
connect the wires per the factory. If you need help with schematics, I
have a manual that I can look at.

air filter.(curse the engineer who came up with the design)  I have the
bentley new two volume in one manual. Yes it includes the owners information
in the appendix. So it was originally writen by Audi. However when you look
for air filter(air cleaner in the book) it tells you to see the appendix. So
in a repair manual with a msrp of $150 it tells you to see a dealer. However
I think bentley has gotten better. I have a 06 Jetta TDI and the bentley
manual is easier to follow, although not as easy as a Haynes or Chilton
guide.

truck and then could not start the car. After backtracking I found one of
the wires to the alarm was disconnected. Does anyone else know where I
should more carefull in removing/disconnecting. Ideally I would remove all
the alarm but I don't know what would happen. Thanks for any help.
