Questions About 1988 Audi 5000 Quattro’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Audi's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Audi 5000 Quattro? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small.

Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
