Recently bought a 98 Audi Cab (UK) and can't figure out what's wrong
with the radio or electric aerial. Hope the following makes sense and
someone can help or offer any suggestions/advice:
1. The radio fails to switch on when the button is pressed although

Thinking of purchasing an 1999 A6 quatro wagon, but with 70,000 miles on the
clock, (although there are 1 or 2 others in that 'neighborhood).  They are
all in the $12000 range. I really hadn't considered a car like this, but
when I sat in it, (I'm 6' 4" and it has the best leg room  ...

Can we pls keep on topic within a thread?
I'm up for reading about JP's EDL experiment and Suspension recalls but
dont want that intertwined with newsgroup etiquette.
Meanwhile trying to find out what's wrong with top-posting...

Has anybody had any difficulty playing cds using the concert radio?
Occasionally, when a cd is inserted, the disc spins up and the display
automatically goes into cd mode.  Nothing unusual there, except no sound
comes through.  Volume is turned up, the display behaves completely ...

Please don't chastise me.  But in the name of science I took my A4 out
on an empty highway near me yesterday.  After some test runs up and
down this road to nowhere, looking for speed traps.  I tested to see
if it was indeed programmed not to exceed 130MPH.  At 135MPH I felt my

I got this thing in the mail offering a discount to join AAA. What I
wonder about is, why do they want the persons birthdate? And the
birthdate of each member? Do they really demand it or are just trying
for it. With my fear of identity theft, I feel I shouldn't be giving it

It so happens that my car has now been suffering from the "steering rod,
upper-control arms" syndrome for a couple of months. Well, it's a '98 so
nothing totally unexpected as the forums abound in which messages can be
found regarding such a problem.

Has anyone experienced starting difficulties with the A6? My (recently
purchased) 98 2.4 auto tip starts with the first turn of the key most
of the time, but a few times a week (used every day for work, domestic
stuff etc) it doesn't. I then have to coax it into life using varying

I recently saw an where they were selling a 1998 Audi A6 Quattro for
$9500.  It had only 30K miles. Is this a good buy? If I trade in my car
(it's an '89 old Volvo), it should lower to $8000-$9000.
I've been looking for some time for a nicer car that's under $10K and I

It so happened that as I got to the restaurant of my choice yesterday the
car park was full and so I decided I would make full use of Quattro to park
by driving up onto a slope (about 12% steep) with only the two right wheels
onto a grass fringe (wet with hail from a recent storm) ...

The engine is 2.3l 5 cilinders, how can i upgrade its power?

I have a 200k+ mile 80q.  Last few months, every now and again would
not start on the first key turn, but sounded like it would "catch" on
one or two cylinders, then die.  Second key turn would start it.  This
happened every so often, then the frequency picked up to almost every

Is it common for both wheel speed sensors to go bad if/when they(mech.)
replace tie rods and control arms on both sides of the front end.  Is this
caused by  the mech. doing something wrong?  If so, what and how?

Thinking about buying an 97/R A3 1.6 sport as a in town run about, it has a
full audi service history..Any opinions?
