    What price an audi 80?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 22 September 2005

    THE 80 has no major problems, but you need to buy carefully. The timing-belt is due for replacement at 90,000km intervals and is a major repair that is best done by removing the front of the car completely. Make sure it has been done. Auto transmission rebuilds are expensive, so make sure that's OK. Other problems can be engine mounts, lower control-arm bushes, front-end knocks, oil leaks on V6s, and climate-control displays not reading properly. Find an 80 with a verifiable service record. It's vital that the engine oil has been changed regularly, because sludge build-up from missed servicing can be terminal. Expect to pay $10,000 for a 2.3-litre, $12,000 for a 2.6-litre.
