Passive Safety:

Seat belts, energy-absorbing steering column, reinforced chassis structure.

💡 Technology Features

Audio System:

Factory-installed AM/FM radio with cassette player, often with an optional amplifier and upgraded speaker systems. Limited by 1980s technology.

Advanced Systems:

The primary technological marvel was the Quattro all-wheel-drive system. ABS was an optional feature. No modern driver-assistance systems were available.

Connectivity Features:

None by modern standards. Basic connectivity for audio system antenna and speakers.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 5,000-7,500 miles (8,000-12,000 km) or annually, depending on driving conditions. Manual provides specific recommendations.

Engine Oil Type:

Varies by engine, but typically SAE 10W-40 or 15W-50. Specific viscosity and API/ACEA ratings are detailed in the manual.

Coolant Type:

G11 or equivalent ethylene glycol-based coolant. Manual specifies correct mixture and type.

Transmission Fluid Type:

Manual: GL-4 gear oil (e.g., SAE 75W-90). Automatic: ATF Dexron II/III or equivalent. Specifics in manual.

Brake Fluid Type:

DOT 3 or DOT 4.

Common Wear Items:

Ignition components (distributor, coil, spark plug wires), fuel injectors (especially on K-Jetronic), suspension bushings, CV joints, early Quattro system component checks (e.g., viscous coupling). Rust on wheel arches and sills.

Turbocharger Maintenance:

For turbo models (e.g., KV engine), regular oil changes with correct oil are critical to turbo longevity. Turbo oil feed lines can clog.
