Hello. I recently purchased a 1984 Audi 5000S (non-quattro, non-turbo). Overall, it is in great shape. The leather and dash are good and there is no real rust (a huge deal in Minnesota
). It does have some "quirks" though that I hope you guys can help with.
2 of the 4 power windows will not roll down (both on the passenger side). On one you can hear the motor trying, but nothing happens. On the other, you can't hear the motor at all.
The power antenna won't come up. We pulled on it and got it to raise up a little, but I think it is so gunked up that it won't go any further or go back down. Any advice on how best to clean it? We have tried penetrating oil on several occasions, but I don't think we got far enough down.
Sometimes (and mostly when it is very cold), the car will stutter or delay when moving from a stop. This is a little disconcerting when you're pulling out into traffic. Any advice? Is it the tranny?
Just to let you know what I have done as far as maintenance so far: changed the oil, spark plugs and air filter. Sadly, that's about it. What else should I be doing? It's been a long time since I had a German car (1985 VW Golf) and I have never owned and Audi before. Please help! :liebe011:
