[urq] Carpet Mat

[Peter Golledge]

Max,

I think it is just the rubber breaking down over time, just today we pulled
the mats from my daily beater (89 200TQA) and found the same thing.  No way
to fix it, just find some new mats. :-(

Today the reman steering unit in the S6 pissed a litre or so of hydraulic
into the driver footwell upon first use! The Audi gods hate my carpets today
for some reason.

Hello all,

 

For a 1986 Type 44 Quattro with Turbo, my right front carpet mat, which lays
on top of the base carpeting, has a tan rubber underside, I was vacuuming,
and found that the front leading left edge of the tan rubber came off the
carpet mat and was impregnated into the base carpeting. This happened as if
the rubber melted or was dissolved into the base carpeting.

 

What could have caused this? How to remove the impregnated rubber in the
base carpeting?

 

Max
