Electrical Gremlins:
Older wiring harnesses and connectors can degrade, leading to intermittent electrical faults. The manual's wiring diagrams are invaluable.
Fuel Injection Problems:
CIS systems can be sensitive to vacuum leaks, fuel pressure issues, and injector problems, requiring precise diagnosis covered in the manual.
Audi Positioning:
Audi was positioning itself as a premium manufacturer during this period, emphasizing German engineering, build quality, and innovative technology (like FWD and Quattro AWD, though Quattro was introduced later in the B2 generation).
B2 Introduction:
