1998 Audi 80 Cabriolet

Featured Replies

I bought this cabrio a few months back (for the hardtop) as spares or repairs. I've now had the heater matrix swapped and repaired the power roof, so it can have a new lease of life :smile:

This really is a great car for the year and mileage, basically no dents and only a few minor scratches for a car that cost £31,000 back in 1998!

Bad points are a cracked nearside headlamp (new glass are about £70 from TPS), paint rub on bonnet above the grille, 1 inch stab hole in the roof (I had this patched on the inside by a soft top speciallist so to be water tight), rev counter not working properly (since dash out for heater matrix swap), oil pressure light comes on (since dash out for heater matrix swap) but oil level is fine and pressure gauge near gear stick says its fine. I have a spare VDO pressure sender to try and see if that cures the gremlin. Air con needs a re-gas.

Grab yourself a great car for the summer

Right, I've changed the oil pressure sender and gave it fresh can of synta silver at the same time. Still the fault appears on the dash, so must be electrical. I've spent too much time and money on the car already; I'll sell it as is rather than go any further.

Will take £700

First to see and test drive will have it I'm sure.

Consideration for swap with a tidy mk3 polo?
