Re: Help needed in hunting Audi gremlin.....

[Heather & Jeff <hjr@buffnet.net>]

Twice in the last week, my wife's '88 80q was besieged by the gremlins. 
Whilst tooling down the expressway at 60 mph, the car started to surge
and slow down until it slowed to about 20 mph, gave a healthy cough,
then resumed at power back up to speed.  If the car died for good, I
could troubleshoot it (not that I want it to on the expressway, of
course).  The current fuel pump has been getting noisier over the last
few months, so I suspect that it may be due. (plus when I bought the car
three years ago with 75K on the clock it had a new pump & filter; I now
have 150K on the clock)  Next on my hit list would be the filter & maybe
the relay.

Anybody else have a similar problem, fixes?  Seems to me there was a
similar "Buzzing bees" thread awhile back.

TIA!
