[s-cars] Here we go again...

[Bob Frizzell]

Adrian,
Charlie's site is http://www.elektro.com/~audi
I have been living with a pinion bearing whine for a while. I changed the
transmission oil twice and put some Militec (Dave Forgie's suggestion, IIRC)
in each time and it seems to have helped. I know a new transmission is
inevitable some time down the road. The symptoms are a whine in any gear,
increasing with speed.  What year is your car?
