Re: Seeking Buying Advice : Audi 5000S Turbo

[DGraber460@aol.com]

I just bought one 3 weeks ago. The car was very well cared for and test drove 
very well.
What I have found is;
    1   boost will only go to 1.2 (will have to research cause, should be 1.4)
    2   fuel pump is noisy (on its way to fuel pump heaven) and expensive.      
                            Replacement is a DIY but a _major_ pain
    3   hood struts need replacing (not too bad from Rod at The parts 
connection).
    4   thermo-vacuum switch on side of head broken (expensive for its size)
    5   original radio sucks (works, but sucks)
    6   driver side door wire loom has shorts and broken wires
    
Still very pleased with the car. I feel they are a great value (read bang for 
the buck).
