Turbocharged versions for the 200 model. Performance Engine Power Output Examples: Naturally aspirated 5-cylinder engines typically ranged from 100-130 hp. Turbocharged versions (200 model) could produce 140-170 hp depending on specific tuning and market. Engine Torque Examples: Torque figures varied significantly with displacement and turbocharging. Naturally aspirated models might produce around 130-150 lb-ft, while turbocharged models could exceed 180 lb-ft. Fuel System Fuel Injection Type: Bosch CIS (Continuous Injection System) or CIS-E (with Lambda control) common for this era. Carbureted versions may exist in some markets, but CIS was prevalent. Fuel Type: Unleaded gasoline (Octane rating specified by Audi for optimal performance, typically 91 AKI or higher for performance variants) Lubrication Oil Type Example: API SG or SF classification, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 depending on climate. Specific Audi approval numbers would be detailed in the manual. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: 5-speed manual transmission was common. Optional Transmission Type: 3-speed or 4-speed automatic transmission available. Features Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive (FWD) standard. Audi's legendary Quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) system became available and was a significant feature, especially on the 200 model. Fluid Specifications Automatic Transmission Fluid Example: Dexron II or equivalent. Specific Audi part numbers or specifications would be in the manual. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Body Styles: Saloon (4-door sedan), Avant (5-door station wagon). Wheelbase Example: Approximately 105 inches (2670 mm) for the C3 chassis. Wheel Bolt Pattern: Typically 4x108 mm with a center bore of 57.1 mm. Weights Curb Weight Range: Approximately 2,800 - 3,200 lbs (1270 - 1450 kg) depending on engine and equipment. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Safety Standards: Designed to meet European safety standards of the early 1980s.
