When taking an Audi Coupe (1989-1991) for a WOF inspection, pay close attention to these points: Rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills. Ensure all lights are working correctly. Check the condition of the tyres, brake pads, and discs. Steering and suspension components should be free of play. Exhaust leaks are a common issue. Windscreen condition is crucial. Verify that seatbelts function correctly and are in good condition.
The Audi Coupe 20V, available in various inline 4-cylinder and 5-cylinder petrol engine options, ensures a dynamic driving experience. While standard front-wheel drive is complemented by optional Quattro all-wheel drive, it’s the responsive engine and agile chassis that truly engage the driver. Regular maintenance is crucial, especially around 150,000 km, where attention to the cooling system—including the water pump, thermostat, and radiator—should be part of your service checklist. We recommend utilizing our Cooling service pack for a complete overhaul of your system to avoid potential issues.
