[s-cars] owners manual

[Chad Clark]

Just went and grabbed it from the car. You see folks, I'm sure some are 
wondering what kind of dork spends his Friday nights answering emails to his 
virtual friends? Of course one with a new one month old baby-can you say NO 
SLEEP?!! :-)

Let's see here, copyright 1991 Audi AG for the 1992 maintenance booklet. 
Then just below this it says "printed in Germany 5.91" which I assume is May 
of 1991. This goes for the warranty booklet also. Then the owners manual 
says printed in Germany 12.91
Interestingly, the Aud Bose booklet with radio code has no production date.

My car is an early production February 1992 car. Maybe this is the 
difference?

Calvin, I'll send you a picture of the manuals.

Chad
