Chris: My first Audi was an '87 4000Q. Loved that car; have owned 4 other Quattros since.

CIS car, so if you're at all familiar w/CIS Porsches you'll feel right at home.

4KQs are nose heavy and tend to collect leaves & other debris just forward of the front cowl, blocking drains and sometimes a rust area. Sagging headliners common, as are slow/inop sunroof. Sunroof cables a PITA to replace, so clean & lube. OEM radiators have composite tanks; heat cycles make them brittle & crack/leak at the base of the neck or upper hose fitting.

Lemme know if you end up getting/wrenching on this 4KQ; I may still have some spares . . . .
