A few questions on my new A4

[Taka Mizutani]

Your A4 does not have real diff locks- EDL is basically traction control for
the rear
axle- it limits slip by brake application.

I think the recommended fuel for your car is 91 octane- you really should
get an owner's
manual for the car- they can be ordered from Audi directly and they're not
expensive.
