RE: Buying 86-up turbo questions

[quattro <quattro@acacianet.com>]

Actually, there is very very little to go wrong in the quattro driveline,
they are mostly bulletproof. Most of the stuff that does fail on Audi
is also on the non-quattro models, so there is very little or no benefit to
reliability and maintenance costs of non-q Vs q, IMFO.

Oh yeah, the reason why I'm not looking for a tq is because of a little
more complexity as far as reliability is concerned. It would be nice to
get a quattro, but finding a totally good one with no problems may be
tough. I've been pricing parts for the quattro system and am really turned
off by a lot of the things I see and the problems, as well.
