Hi Gerry!

Are the UrQ window regulators the same as those in Coupe GTs?  I would
imagine that they are.  Try calling Wolfsport (www.wolfsport.com) and
see if they have them.  Their prices are usually decent.  Another place to
try is The Parts Connection (www.thepartsconnection.com).  Lastly, if you need
dealer items, call Linda at Carlsen.  Tell her you're a member of the Internet
quattro list and she'll give you a substantial discount.  I'm sure it'll
be quite a bit less than $485...

The UrQ has a digital ECU that has fault memory that can be dumped,
right?  If so, you can dump the codes and see what it tells you.  I'm
sure others that are familiar with 83 UrQs can help you here on the list.
