Im really considering selling my 1990 Audi Quattro V8 3.6L, it has a Hydraulic leak in one of the hoses (maybe two) Im just wondering, how much i should sell this beast? The body is near mint save for where the paint peeled off on the front bumper and Its got brand new tires/ Borbett rims, New brakes/capilers/rotors all the way around. I have an audiobahn sub / alpine combo, audiobahn 400rms 6x9's, cd changer, Mp3 Sony explode Deck, hidden swtich panel, K&N ait filter and shes at 161,000. Or maybe i should just fix the leak but from what ive been reading its not cheap. Im not super attached to the car and little fixes are adding up. Let me know how much this might be worth or if you know how to fix Hydraulic leaks let me know! thanks

Nice V8, if it had a 5-speed I would probably buy it myself.

Is the hydraulic leak coming from the hoses or the pump and running down the hoses? If you want to fix the hoses cheap, look up a hydraulic/tractor equipment shop in your local yellow pages. They can probably reuse your banjo fittings and crimp on some new hoses for a lot cheaper than what the dealer will charge you. If the pump is leaking and it is the same as in the 5000/100/200 models than all you need are two 22mmx18mmx2mm copper or aluminum crush washers under the two caps for the brake circuit. You can leave the stock o-rings for the other six which are for the power steering circuit and operate at much lower pressure. The crush washers have to be fabricated as they are not standard size. It took me about two hours using a drill press, Uni Bit and a belt sander.
