1989 Audi 200 Quattro Avant Base Wagon 4-door 2.2l - 10v Not/nicht 20v on 2040-cars
Reading, Pennsylvania, United States

About five months ago, I was out cruising in this Audi wagon when a fellow in a Volkswagen Corrado ahead of me pulled off to the side of the road, motioned for me to roll down my window and then offered to trade right then and there for this car. A 10-valve Audi 200 Quattro had been his first car and it remained, for him, the love that dare not beep its name.
To be honest, it was pretty dark that night and I didn't catch what variant of Corrado he was busting around in, but I'd like to think he knew a reasonably good car when he saw one. And, alas, that is what my Audi wagon has been - a reasonably good car. It drives like it is on rails regardless of the weather. It feels like it could hold the entire IKEA as-is room. Or, alternately, five people with skis on the way to the local ski slope. Speaking of which, this car is steeped in history. After being born in what was then West Germany (despite its clearly East German sensibilities), it traveled the same roads as Hunter S. Thompson in Colorado before its first owner met with some legal difficulties and it was bought by a woman who drove it incredible distances between there and Pennsylvania with a seemingly large dog. If you're looking at this ad, you probably already know that a purchase like this is madness. But, wait. Take a sit in the incredibly comfortable drivers seat. Imagine your feet in taupe pumps, a pair of nude pantyhose on your legs and a taupe skirt suit to finish your ensemble. It's 1990, it's Vail and you're the trophy, second wife of the town's orthodontist and its your first summer selling ski resort real estate. "Would you like slopeside or base village?" Yeah, that's where this Audi takes you. Every time. Please buy my wagon and give it the glamorous life it deserves. (And now for the boring stuff. It's inspected through May 2015 for Pennsylvania buyers. It runs and drives. We've kept after the fluids and even replaced the radio with a stock Audi unit that doesn't change channels with every bump in the road, but sadly does not have the mysterious "ARIZ" button. However it has a QLCC chip so it doesn't chug along like an East Berlin streetcar and a stiffer wastegate spring. It has a replacement PCV hose from 034 Motorsports. It also comes with an insanely studded set of Nokian winter tires on lightweight sport rims and a stack of service records that are as compelling and entertaining of a read as most of the stuff your friends post on Facebook on any given day. Car is sold as-is, of course, and feel free to ask any questions about it before bidding.) |

Audi to use this telepresence robot to fix cars
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Next time you take your Audi in for service, watch to see if a little white stand is following your mechanic around. It's not some new measurement tool for your car; it's a actually a robot being controlled remotely to improve vehicle service. While bots playing a role in building cars is nothing new, the company is taking things a step further in the US by introducing Audi Robotic Telepresence to assist dealer technicians in repairing the brand's vehicles. The droids are already being used in a pilot program at about 18 dealers nationwide with plans to have it at 100 in the near future.
At the moment, ART, as its called, is more R2-D2 than The Terminator. It certainly won't be doing any wrenching on your A4 anytime soon because it doesn't even have arms. Instead, the robot comprises a remote-controlled stand with multiple cameras, a microphone and speakers. The bot is operated remotely by Audi Technical Assistance consultants and Technical Field Managers who can talk back-and-forth with mechanics about vehicle service and help to remotely diagnose problems. The droid is even equipped with a handheld camera and borescope to reach into tiny crevices.
Audi claims that ART is the first system of its kind to directly link automakers with technicians at the dealer level in this way and leads to faster, more accurate service for customers. Scroll down to watch a video of the bot in action and read the release for the current list of participating dealers.
Audi recalling 70k TDI models worldwide over braking problem
Sat, 30 Aug 2014Audi is issuing a recall covering some 70,000 vehicles worldwide, due to problems with their brake boosters. According to Automotive News Europe, diesel-powered examples of the A4, A5, A6, A7 and Q7 are all being called back due to this issue.
The report indicates that while the brakes in these vehicles still function, the enhancing power from the booster may fail due to a possible leaky membrane.
All of the affected vehicles are powered by the 3.0-liter TDI turbodiesel V6, and were built between March and December of 2012. It is unclear as of this writing how many of these vehicles are in the States, though remember, US customers are not privy to 3.0 TDI examples of the A4 or A5. Autoblog has reached out to Audi for specific numbers, and we'll update this space when we hear more.
Watch the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro long-tail testing at Monza
Thu, 02 May 2013Audi released a single photo of the long-tailed version of its R18 E-Tron Quattro Le Mans racer, but the photo didn't offer the best view of the stretched rear. The car has been caught testing at Monza, in Italy, and not only do we get a better view of what it's got out back, we get pretty awesome sound as it makes high-speed runs past the camera.
Since the 2013-spec car was found to be down on performance versus the 2012, the long-tail is a different evolution to see if Audi can eke out more performance from its already dominant chassis. Have a look and a listen in the video below.
