I've got a 1986 200tqw (5000 tqw in the states).  My US model has the US MB
(MC) motor, yours will have the KH (KG?).  Otherwise s/b the same.  Let's
ask the expert...
Frank Bauer, any comments??

I love the wagon.  However I have an opinion about buying Audi's.  While
I'll buy the cheapest one I can find, I really don't like buying them with
body damage.  You are gonna have to buy $2000 at least worth of mechanical
stuff, and body repair here in the states is mucho $$$$.  I bought the last
3 Q's for pretty cheap, and all of them needed $2,000 worth of parts.  Throw
in $2k - $4k worth of body parts, you could get a real nice car instead,
without the hassle.  I'd prefer to put good money into mechanicals instead
of bodywork.  I get more return out of the mechanicals.  Buy a straight car
if you can.  My .02.
