Auto Parts: Audi 80 1993 X Audi 90 1993, pep boys, repair vehicles

Question
Are these two models the same with different names? I've got an Audi 80 in Australia and want to purchase parts in America, but there's only the Audi 90 for 1993 in the US. Are the parts similar?

Answer
Hi Marc,

You are correct. The 80 series was discontinued in '88 in favor of the upgraded, and import-compliant 90 series. I couldn't tell you if the models you are asking about are the same as i only have information dealing with imports to America and vehicles imported to other countries may have different parts and/or interchanges.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
