How long have you owned this Pete? 

Around 31/2 yrs, was my elderly neighbours but he couldn’t drive anymore so it’s been sat in a garage for almost 10 years! Just looking for a guide to its value as it’s taking up space I need back. 
thanks.

I have owned this for about 3-4 years, bought it from my elderly neighbour who couldn’t drive anymore and garaged it for about 8 years, previously owned by his son. 

Thinking of selling my 1990 Coupe E, looking for some guidance on value if possible. 180k miles, starts and runs fine, been sat in garage for several years, original wheels, manual replaced gearbox.

Tired interior and age related scratches on body but solid, no rust. 

Thanks Greg. 

So there appears to be two diff rubber seals, one each side of window which are intact (abt 18mm wide), these appear ok. I imagine glass sits on top of these with bonding to side of it.

The other is the one that appears to run across the top edge and down both sides (10mm w), this is now in three pieces! It has a slight groove maybe where glass sits in it? So this is the one in question, what does it actually do/do I need to replace it? From my orig pic of car before window came out this rubber isn’t visible! 
I’ll inc pics. 

Thanks Greg,

I will try and find a replacement online somewhere? Is yours visible around the glass? Mine didn’t appear to be! 
 

Hi, does anyone know if there is meant to be a full all round rubber seal for the back window of a 1990 Audi coupe? I have taken window out to re fit and there appears to be a top and bottom rubber seal amongst the bonding?? I presume it’s meant to have a rubber trim all round? 
thanks.
 

Thanks for reply, I was thinking the obvious place to attach it was onto the end of the lever over the barrel / pin but it doesn’t fit on to it. I checked bottom of door for any bits but nothing. Good idea about checking other door tho! 
thanks again. Pete

Hello,

Im trying to re attach the door release lever cable to the release mechanism on door lock. The end cable is hooked and the lever on the latch unit has a barrel type end, but the cable hook won’t fit onto it? Or am I doing something wrong?

help! 
Thanks Pete

Hi, I have a Audi Coupe 1990, kept in garage for some years but I alway run it up. Recently I accidentally ran it out of fuel, so I put 10L back in but surprise surprise it won’t start. Looks like it is fuel injected so no carb, guess it could have sucked up some rubbish from tank or airlock?? any ideas appreciated on how to solve?

thanks

Cheers, will do

Hi Ian, it’s a 1984cc engine. I’ve got a guy coming to see it hopefully soon. If you want to give me a contact number or email I can let you know.

Four previous owners, service history documents to 70k. Bodywork looks good for age, all good tyres and new battery, starts fine. Discs and callipers are rusty as been stood. Exhaust is blowing. 

My Audi Coupe E 1990 was bought from my neighbour having been sat in his garage for five years unused due to his age/health. I am now moving house and looking for offers. It starts first time but is not mot’d. 180k miles on clock and in need of someone experienced with the time to put this classic back on the road! Location Worcestershire WR6.

Hi, I have just acquired a 1990 Audi Coupe  as a restoration project. It has been sat in a garage next door unused for about six years! So I need to try and unseize the brakes and move it to my garage. Does anyone know where the fuel cap release switch is?

thanks
