I guess the electrical system is one place where Audi made major strides
in quality with the later ur-Qs. My '85 has the "new style" fues box
under the hood, not the "old VW-style" fuse box under the dash. I've had
virtually no electrical problems in >182,000 miles. What has failed: both
taillight assys needed repair due to poor manufacturing quality and poor
design/engineering (made in france). The wire to the center diff lock
indicator light switch got toasted by the exhaust sytem and was rewired.
That's about it...... Total repair cost: $0.00. >182,000 miles.
YMMV*3
