only one light should work, possibly something to do with clashing with
brake lights.

asr.......no idea what does it stand for

oil every 6k (diesel)

service, check manual (once you get one)

keep it garaged 100% of the time only take out to dust off or clean.

keep an eye on ebay

Stef,
The rear fog light on the driver's side should be the only one that turns on
with the switch - I don't know the logic behind it but that's the way it is.
I would suggest that you get an owner's manual from either your local
dealer, or eBay or somewhere else on the net - it will answer your asr and
maintenance intervals - I doubt that anyone here with one wants to have you
"but it off" them ;-).  You might want to hang out in the A6 forum on
www.audiworld.com (not sure if there's a .co.uk version) - there will be
lots of advice and BTDT's on there.  Since your car has a turbo, make sure
you use synthetic oil  and cool the turbo down after hard driving before you
shut down.
Cheers!

I think they're right, I never checked on mine. Strange, hmm?

Anti Schlupf Regelung
The ASR powers down the engine if the wheels loose grip on slippery
surfaces. Combined with the Electronic Differential lock (brakes the
spinning wheel using the brakes) it acts as a helper to get you moving
on snow. You don't have to switch it on. It's on all the time and if you
press the button it's OFF! An orange triangle will come on in the dash,
warning you about this. It's reset to ON automatically when you start
the engine the next time.

Uh well, depends. If it's on longlife service it should tell you. You
find out if it's on LLS either by asking a dealer to check up the car ID
(questionable, depending on the honesty of the dealer?) or by just
starting the engine and press the left knob in the instrument cluster
(car must be at standstill, otherwise you'll set a speedwarning
threshold with this action). A LLS car would report the remaining milage
to service (depending on the drivers driving habits).

Check: MAF, front suspension and oilfilm on the engine.

For all three of them there is a service bulletin at Audi.
MAF: powerloss => replace MAF and disconnect post-shutdown heating of
the MAF
front suspension: some creaking because of increased play in the
bushings => dealer should check.
oilfilm on the engine: some series of the 2,5 150HP engines had the
crankshaft vent sized too small. There is a sieve in there which can get
 clogged by oilslug and then the pressure in the engine increases,
blowing oil out the seals. => Dealer can check, there's a service
bulletin and that should have been done quite early.

Once this is done IMO the car is rock solid and cheap to maintain, even
at the (austrian) dealer.

Sorry, mine is in german and I still need it :-)

As others have said, this is correct - only the offside rear foglight is
functional.  This is, supposedly, safer because the brake lights should
be more obvious when there's only a single fog.

anti-slip regulation (or the German equivalent, which Wolfgang has
given.  It's a simple form of traction control - it reduces engine power
when the driven wheels start to lose traction.  It is always on by
default - you turn it off by pressing the button and a light comes on
in the instrument console to warn you that it is disabled.  The only
time you might need to turn it off is when there is almost no traction
at all, and the only way to make progress is to keep the wheels
spinning.

A 1999 car probably isn't equipped for long life service.  Long Life
service came in with the 2000 model year, construction of which
started during 1999.  This will be determined from the VIN - if the
VIN is 4BYN 002888, or later, then it is eligible for long life service
(although this is not necessarily activated).  A 4BX.... VIN would
definitely not be long life.

You should find that the legends 'In1' or 'In2' come up in the odometer
(or is it the digital clock?) when a service is due. As far as I can
tell, the service interval should be 9,375 miles(15000kms) or 1 year.
If you email me the VIN I should be able to confirm the details.  

In my experience, the Audi dealer price for printed manuals is very
reasonable (I bought a 230 page manual for the newer Nav system for less
than £6) - assuming that the manual is still available!

It might be worth trying VAG Parts (http://www.vagparts.co.uk).  They
usually offer a signifiacnt saving over dealer prices, although they do
have to charge postage.

You will most prob be able to just remove the cover on the back and fit a
bulb in, instantly giving you 2 x fog lights :)

You may have to open up the rear cover a little with a dremel to accomodate
the bulb, but it is a simple job, all the wiring and connectors should be in
there :P

thanxs for all your eplies they have been a great help  i never meant to
cause an arguement over fog lights though ;o) i do have another question
though the oil indicator on the dashboard goes all the way over to the red
mark i think it on 180 degrees or something is this correct
thanxs stef

Yes, only one light works - I don not know the logic behind it(maybe
people find it odd and pay more attention) but the left rear light is
the only one that comes on.
