4000csq inquiry
I just bought my first audi quattro. It is an 86 4kcsq. I picked
it up for $1,000. It has 192,000 miles, and a few problems of course.
I am not quite sure if this will turn out to be a smart purchase, but I
am sure it will be fun finding out.
Problems:
1. Drove it home (2.5hrs!!) and drove it all weekend. Come monday
morning- turn the key, crank a couple of times- nothing. Jumpstart it,
starts right up. Change battery, same problem. Wires on the battery
terminals seem alright. Never got any warnings for alternator problems.
2. Seems as though there is a gas leak in one of the lines. It is
right in front of the middle exhaust. How will this have to be fixed-
whole new line? If so, is this dealer only?
3. Headlights really suck.
Also, what should I look into for maintenance? I just ordered all of
the ordinary stuff: Belts, filters etc.
Thanks in advance for any help.
