Re: Cruise Control

In a note dated 2/18/97 Ray Park asks:

<<I just bought a 1990 80 Quattro.>><snip><<First, the cruise control on the
car does not work.  I brought it to the mechanic<snip>  He thinks it could be
a 
switch but I am not sure if it is worth it to look into more deeply.<snip>>>
Could be the switch...I know I have to jiggle mine if it hasn't been used in
some time (usualy the case), but more common is a split in the vacuum hoses
for the CC system-usualy on the bottom where you can't see it at first
glance.

<<Second, when I drive my car in the morning for about seven miles and
eventually come to a complete stop, the idle bottoms out and the car
stalls.>>
Should perhaps have the CO and idle set along with a complete check for
vacuum leaks by someone who really understands Audis and Bosch FI systems.

<<Third, what upgrades can I get to improve the performance of the car.>>
There really isn't much you can accomplish here without spending big$$$
(turbo motor transplant would be the best bet)...best to leave well enough
alone and enjoy as-is.

<<What manuals can I get on repair and upgrades?>>
Get the Bentley if you plan to do your own maintenance and repair
work...upgrades? No literature I'm aware of...

HTH and go drive and enjoy your new q!!!
