Those Audi 100LS's were awful cars. Can't believe they stayed in buisness with those things. When I worked in a wrecking yard (about 1983 or '84) we were one of the few yards around with lot's of german cars, and soon as we got in another 100LS, it was picked clean it seems. The automatic trannies went first if they still worked. I think they learned from Fiat how to (not) build cars!
My early '80's Audi have been great cars on the other hand. The early 5-cylinder engines are bullet proof, and the trannies last forever. You just need to like to fix electrical gremlins
