Nice car, are you going to do anything to it?
Thanks.No plans other than just to enjoy it as much as I can.

Looks good - inside and out.
You liking it?
So far, yes. I previously owned a 2.8 Quattro, but fell out of love with it due to rattles, oil consumption and various others maladies. At least the 1.8 should be much better on fuel!You liking it?

Looks good, i've got 1 too but not a quattro. Looks like yours has been lowered a touch?
I thought that myself, however it looks as though only the back seems to be riding a little low?shalmaneser said:

Five valves, eh?one per cylinder and one for them all to share, I wonder?
Odd thing to put on the engine cover...
Nice car OP, I'm just about to get rid of mine in favour of a Diesel. Currently averaging around 30mpg (50 mile commute, mostly motorway + a fair bit of country roads on evenings and weekends)

Is this one of the 1.8T Quattro 'Sports'? Looks like it from the wheels, I think these were 180 bhp, 6 speed, rather than the normal 150 bhp, 5 speed?
This is indeed a Sport. According to the options list, it is a 132kW engine - 132kW = 177bhp or 179ps.It has a 5 speed box though.
I use the excellent options decoder to work out what options the car was supplied with. A really good site.
