Default Picked up a 95 Audi 90 quattro sport

I am both new to the forum, and new to Audi ownership. I actually pick it up Monday. But thought I would share and then maybe get the dirt on what I should should look out for so I can take care of small problems now instead of big problems later. The car is spotless inside and out.

I wasn't looking for this car, but when I saw it I had to have. I loved watching these rally in the 90's. It is easily one of my favorite body style of any car, and I'm sure it will dominate our MI winters. This is gonna be a long weekend waiting for it.

Do the timing belt job ASAP. If it's original you're past due, if it's not you may as well

If it was done on time at 60K then you are coming up on your 2nd belt change.

I'd replace everything and start fresh.
TB, tensioner, roller, water pump and thermo
Grab a new serp belt while you are at it if yours looks ratty.

Getting a good shopping list. I want to keep this thing as good looking as it is and running as good as it does. So I don't want to skimp on anything.

Yes i would do the timing belt, and if you're over 100k miles i would recommend checking the serpentine belt and your spark plugs
