Hello all, I have had my '96 S6 for almost two weeks now and I really
like it. I upgraded from a '87  VW Quantum syncro wagon, what a
difference 10 valves and a turbo makes! Anybody want a $500 winter beater ?
1.Car seems to follow uneven pavement. I'm assuming it is due to the
wider tires (17X8 wheels, 225-45-17) ?
2.I have a cricket in my dash (fan chirps,occasionally) is the fan going
out or something I need to live with ?
3. My radio is the Bose delta (?), with RDS, is that somewhat rare ?
Also, after playing the radio for about 1 hr it will just shut off. I am
assuming it is some sort of overheating protection , after I wait 10
mins and turn it back on it is fine.
4. Headlights stink, makes me wish I would have participated in the
recent group buy.
