Between the L-Jectronic injection system and the balky electrical systems, vintage German cars can be a PITA to maintain. I can't tell you how many switches, relays, sensors, fuel pumps, power-window motors, grounding, etc. failed up on the Audi's and Porsche's I owned back in the late '70's through ~1990. Perhaps not Lucas Electric bad, but pretty bad nonetheless. Engines and transmissions were generally quite solid, but the electrical systems could drive you b@tshit crazy.
