Just test driven a 1999 audi 80 cabriolet 2.8 final edition, but it has a few problems, and electrical niggles to cure, if anybody has had these problems and can advise on how to repair or where to look:
1. Water temperature gauge not functioning
2. Oil temperature gauge not functioning
3. instrumentation LCD for trip computer has pixels permanently on, on bottom 5 rows
4. electric aerial not working. OEM replacement needed as Audi have stop manufacture or is there a repair kit?
5. Seemed slow to pull away and a bit gutless but revved freely out of gear. Do these V6's need to rev to pull away OK?? (Too use to power diesels)
6. The 2 electric fans on the radiator seemed to be running all the time, i only drove it 3 or 4 miles. Is this normal?
The vehicle is mechanically sound, comes with 12 months MOT and it's only the electrical problems and me not sure about how to drive a V6 petrol.
Any comments, previous experience or pointers to the repair of the faults (if any) as the bodywork is in great condition at 104k miles.
thanks for your input in advance
