Dragging Coupe-Starting a database!

[Nivi@aol.com]

Hi everyone!

As Peter Schulz has been asking the questions regarding Coupe Quattro
servicing, I'm thinking of establishing a database on the car. (both 1990 and
1991 models):

BTW Peter,

I just had to have new pads and disks installed on the front AND back, but my
calipers were okay...I think these were the original disks as I checked the
Audi service database with the dealer, and found no other replacements. The
pads seem to be the second set it's gone through. The second set was put in
at 38K miles.

The car was making an intermittent squealing noise from the left side at 57K
(1990 Coupe Q) when I was "soft braking" and would disappear when I tapped
the brake pedal.

If anyone would like to submit their service histories (90 Coupes only
(1990-91)) to me, I will post a summary in a month, and if you want a
detailed one, I could e-mail it to you. If you bought your car used (as I
did), try to get a copy of the service history from the dealer computer. 

Thanks.
