Why not sell it then if you're not happy?

Hello and welcome,

No need for the profanity, if you’ve come to get resolutions to your issues, you’re in the right place.

If you’ve just come to whinge then I’d suggest a BM or Audi forum might be better for you.

As above.

Every village has one, we just seem to attract more than others

I won't get my money back that I paid for it now that's standing

Don't get me wrong. I kinda like the car. I drove it for exactly 55km since I bought it and then......dead as a door nail. Nothing. Doesn't wanna start. So I'm kinda upset with it. Has spark. Has power on injectors. When fuel is manually squirted into intake it wants to start. Injectors not releasing fuel. Checked all the fuses. Fuelpump primes. Fuel in rail. But nothing. No start

I feel your pain, but the car is 25 years old ? it may just need to some well applied tlc.

I don't mind giving it tlc, I just need to know where she needs me to rub.

Thanx for the help on my actual problem

Any car is as good as it is looked after and those looking after it.

If iys been good for 55k and now is xyz as you state, not the cars fault. They are just lumps of parts put together and everything can get fixed in the right hands.
