A few questions on my new A4

[Andrew Duane]

I have the same engine in my '00 2.8 A6Q. It runs just fine on 87, but
will run a little better, a little peppier, and a little smoother on
91+. Every once in a while, often in summer when the A/C blasts and the
warm air compromises power a bit, I'll splurge on a tank of premium.
Otherwise (99% of the time) it'll drink the cheap stuff and be happy
about it.

Speaking of which, what is the required fuel for the 2.7T engine as in
the Allroad?

Subject: A few questions on my new A4

Hi guys, a few more questions:

Per previous post, Just bought a '98 2.8L A4 5spd.

1. I read online that this car has the tosen diffs with electronic diff
locks. How hard is it to install a manual bypass for these? I LOVE the
ability of my 4000Q to manually lock diffs - makes the car hella more
fun on
gravel. And before I get lectured on it - yes I know the dangers of
driving
on pavement with locked diffs.

2. I didn't get the book with my car and the fuel lid says that the
required
fuel octane (R+M)/2 is 87/91. WTF? Is it 87 or is it 91?? I see that
it's a
10.5:1 compression motor, so I am inclined to think that to my regret,
it
will want 91 Octane, but is that right?
