Checklist for Reliability of Older Audis

[Huw Powell]

All the belts and hoses would be a good idea.

But I'd troubleshoot the electrics first, since they are going to be 
awful - the early 80s cars wiring and connectors were far from weatherproof.

If you're going to put a lot of work into it, you should either swap in 
a later underhood fusebox, or buy mine.
