1988 Audi 90 Quattro Questions & Answers

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Audi tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your 90 Quattro towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 90 Quattro is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my 90 Quattro's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1988 90 Quattro’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Audi's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Audi 90 Quattro leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Audi 90 Quattro can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 90 Quattro ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
