A-6 Questions

[Andrew Duane USG]

Hairy green toads from Mars made A24k4x4 at aol.com say:

> Good morning Audi fans,
> I have recently purchased my first '96' A-6.  It seems to have a few problems 
> I am not able to fix.  If you would indulge me please.
> 1.  Is it true that the Auto box NEVER needs an oil change?  Dealer here says 
> it is good for 100k plus.

The dealer lies. Replace at least every 60K or so. Will do wonders
for your shifting.

> 2.  Head light washers.  Pump for the washers works with 12vdc applied to 
> motor.  Full of fluid and nothing coming out of washers.

Don't know about this one. Maybe the steering stalk switch is broken?

> 3.  The car had only one key and alarm fob.  Seems the original was replaced 
>      with a Code Alarm fob.  Got a replacement and the instructions refer to a
>      button under the dash to push to reprogram the new fob.  Where may I find
>      this button?

Don't know, mine doesn't have the alarm.

> 4.  It came with chromed wine glass 16" wheels.  And has chromed wheel nut 
>      covers.  Dealer does not know where to get replacements.  Any idea of 
> where to get them?

Same as #3.

> 5.  When rear deck lid is opened with lights on, they will cut out.  Seems to 
> be a wiring problem in the harness.  Was there any recall on this?

Not that I know of. Alldata.com has TSB and recall info, as do a few
other sites.

> 6.  Is there a Bentley for this car?  Or CD?

Yes, I have the Bentley. Big, thick, and mostly has to do with using
the VAG 1551 tester :-(
