Last Avant question for a while, I hope

[Douglas Fifield]

Fay,

Do you have a copy of the "family album" which gets talked about on
these lists?  If not, I am sure some helpful lister would help you
attain one.  Once you have that in hand and on your computer, you can
look up any part on your car, compleat with exploded view diagrams.
It helps to see where things are.  The FA is essentially free if you
get some help.

The other helpful thing to have is a Bentley manual for your car.  You
can buy one from the publisher for about $100 or search Fleabay for
one.  The Bentley tells you the "official" way to remove, install, or
check systems for correct operation.  Gives torque values, electronic
schematics, and trouble shooting codes.  Well worth the investment if
you plan on doing any work on an Audi.

Just my two bits.
