Does anyone know much about the 1984 WR quatrro

[Jimski]

A friend of mine has recently bought a quattro and has run into some trouble - the engine rev limit will kick in at 4000rpm or 5000rpm depending on load and the dashboard will not stay light unless the lights are on

We are completly stumped by it all

Are you in the quattro owners club? Try that - its worth £40(ish) membership fee - & then you will have access to several knowledgeable people. My advice would be to take it to Roger Galvin of the the "quattro workshop" near Lutterworth (J20 of M1), Roger is the tech secretary of the qoc, as well as running his own business specialising in quttros. He will give advice to qoc members over the phone, & will obviously fix cars for customers. Roger is THE quattro guru IMHP & my quattro does not go anywhere else than to Roger for care and attention.

Wow, I do hope that wasnt meant be as elitist as it reads!
you could register on classicaudi.co.uk or audifans.net for free and get help as well plenty of WR owners there too.
I dont know the quattro workshop personally but i have heard they are very good.

Certainly not meant to be elitist. I have read it back several times and I don't think it reads like that at all but if it does come across that way then I apologise.

I suppose the point I was trying to make is that Roger will give advice to qoc members over the phone, because, despite it being his business, he is the tech secretary of the qoc & will always try to help fellow members keep their cars on the road. However it is his business and he is understadably not keen to help other garages out, who also try & ring him for advice sometimes!

There are plenty of other knowledgeable people around but even Audi have been known to ask for Rogers advice sometimes! Roger lives, breathes, repairs, rebuilds & services quattros day in and day out & has done for years, full time, so I doubt there is a fault he as not seen before.

I have known Roger Galvin since joining the quattro owners club in 1996.

He's the Man, if you wan't your quattro fixed. There are quattro owners up here in the highland that won't take their car to any one else.
