Oh dear what a ****!
Has it pulled the threads or just come undone?
When you get the new one on either fit bonnet pins or 2 gas struts.

Chris, if they're the same part, and I think they are, you can have the hinges off my quattro. Give me a PM.

Even if the pins don't hold, the safety catch should stop it coming up, whoever painted the bonnet didn't lock the pins or refit the safety catch IMO

one step forward four steps back, sorry to hear that mate. I have another bonnet if you get stuck thats in good condition. Sounds like something wasn't right on it, i've had a coupe gt bonnet partially open due to the spring catch being weak (ended up putting bonnet pins on it) It should have still held on the other spring catch and the bonnet release catch as mine did at past the speed limit

Thanks for all the replies and support guys.
Think I have managed to source some hinges. Repairs will cost £1000 and a new windscreen £175 fitted. They are apparently still available. Worse case scenarion, they can be specially made for around £200, which in the grand scheme of things these days is not bad.
Work will start next week so maybe finally be ready early in the New Year.

Originally posted by Acidburn View PostI've heard of someone getting a new windscreen for a type 85 for around £130 which seems to be the going rate, either that or get your insurance to sort?
Green tinted glass with slightly darker Green top tint is a little bit harder to get hold of I think. Unfortunately, due to car being in bits it has not been insured for past four years.Audi 90 quattro (Typ 85)
