I am leaning toward purchasing a used avant for the wife and would like to know opinions on years and transmissions and engines from people w/ experience.

Sorry for posting my tire request for VW to this newsgroup, it was not intentional.

Passenger side front turn signal bulb. There are two bulbs for the front turn signals, which I didn't realize until I replaced the wrong one. The one I unnecessarily replaced has a long finned handle protruding that is twisted counterclockwise to remove. This is the one addressed in the owner's...

'99 audi A6 Avant. I asked earlier w/ no response but am getting frustrated w/ not being able to mount a dang rear license plate. I just bought the car and there are 3(out of 4) screws in the black plastic that will not unscrew, the base behind the plastic spins. I have tried putting a...

My license plate mount screws in the rear of my A6 Avant are just spinning and one has dropped behind the plastic face. Do I need to remove the interior of the hatch? or can I get at these from the outside? The only screws on the rear that I can see are for the two white lamps for the illuminating...

Thanx to Stephen and Tony for help in removing the instrument cluster. Now I can't find the relay. Does anyone know if it is plugged into the rear of the cluster? or is it buried under wraps behind the cluster. Thanx in advance. Andy

I have a blurry outside rear view mirror, drivers side on an A6. I assume it is related to the heated mirror. I also assume I will need to replace the glass. Is this a difficult job? any BTDT? Thanx in advance. Andy

It has been driving fine, except that the driving wheel was a little shaking (which I thought was acceptable). Today, the...

Over time, the near side Xenon headlamp on my S3 has given a gradually more yellow beam, more akin to that of a 'normal' headlamp. My lights now give completely different colours when looking at the beam on the car in front when queueing in traffic. Has anybody else experienced this? I understand...
