Hello! Up for sale is my 1990 Audi 200 Quattro wagon. Car runs and drives. It is a 5 speed and has the 2.2 10v turbo engine. I love this car, but my commute is increasing from 4 miles a day to 50 miles, so I cant rely on my bicycle as a backup.

Good:

Timing belt, pulleys, tensions, cam seal, crank seal, valve cover gasket, injectors, fuel filter, all coolant hoses(034 silicon), rear shocks (koni), all rear suspension bushing, radiator, starter, front control arms, rear calipers, rotors, pads, parking brake cables, rear wheel bearings and more I am forgetting have all been replaced in the last year.

Body and interior are in good shape overall considering the age and mileage.

No rust

Drives nice. Trans shifts good, with no issues. Locking center diff still works!

Bad:

Hard starting when cold (first start of the day)

Information center in cluster inop, along with the coolant temp gauge most of the time.

Odometer does has not worked since I bought the car. So mileage is unknown (shows like 232K, but obviously more.)

Cluster is causing a parasitic draw so drains the battery after a few days.

Exhaust leak.

Oil leak in the turbo area. Runs down the exhaust manifold and burns off. No drips but there is smoke from it burning off and will need to be addressed sooner or later!

One of the silicon radiator hose has a pin hole in it. The hose has sealed it self, but seems to open up time to time.

Dents, dings, and scratches, usual 27 year old car stuff.

I am open to trades up or down. Interested in anything interesting. I need a new daily, but there is always stuff I want! Let me know If you have any questions!

Thank you!

It does have a chip, but not a Ben Swann. I think it is a 1.85 bar, but I can't remember who made it. I can probably look back where I bought it and find out.

Did you do the waste gate spring?

No and it could use it. I put a boost controller on it, but it only helped marginally.

If you can reach Ben, he can help loads. We got my 87 into the 240 range without opening up the engine.

Might be interested in one of those things as partial trade, we are moving at the end of the year, and I have been instructed to " downsize." Send me some pictures and info!

Wanna trade for a high end mountain bike? :p

But seriously, how far would you realistically be comfortable driving this thing from your home?

I drove it from Indiana to Minnesota, then to South Dakota last year. I feel like it would make it about anywhere with a little coaxing. It's never left me stranded anywhere.

Now on Craigslist and DT. http://www.dailyturismo.com/2017/01/seller-submission-1990-audi-200-quattro.html?m=1

Look at the hefty GRM discount! Open to trades on a small motorcycle or scooter.

Sold my Miata, so I am more open to trades on this one! Make me an offer! Also just put a brand new battery in.

What would you deduce is the issue with the hard starting problem? Any idea?

I think it is something to do with the cold start injector system. The warmer the ambient temperature is the easier it starts.

I haven't personally seen this car, but I did meet Gariathon when I bought his Miata. I can attest to him being a straight forward & honest guy. Good Luck with the Sale.

This is CIS E. I can't remember if it has a wur or cold start valve or both.

You'll need to log in to post.
