'New' 94 S4 -- The Learning Process Begins Anew

[b1biker at aol.com]

 Just purchased this vehicle and love the power performance and sophistication compared to my NA 88 5KSQ. As with all 14 year-old 'new cars' there are some issues.

1 - I haven't been able to locate a paper copy of the Bentley manual but there are lots of CD versions around. They say that they run on several versions of windows ending with XP, Does anyone know if they will run on a Windows Vista system with the 64-bit architecture? Or, does anyone have a no longer needed copy of the paper version?

2 - The cruise control does not function, not a big deal except that I do a lot of long distance driving. Any help in trouble shooting the cruise would be appreciated.

3 - The PO told me that he had replaced the instrument panel with one from a '92 S4. The instrument panel contains a trip computer, some of the functions are operable but most are not. The PO stated that the car was not originally equipped with the trip computer. Is it possible to add the trip computer and if so what components would I have to purchase and what would be involved in installing them. I had the trip computer in my old 5SKQ and found it an interesting and informative amusement on long interstate drives.

Thanks in advance for any and all help with the above issues. I would appreciate any bits of wisdom related to long term ownership of this vehicle.
