MyQuattro news.

Found the problem with the whiney noise, it was indeed the check valve, 
turned out to be a bad connection.  I'll throw a ziptie on there if it 
comes back.  Thanks to whomever suggested that!

#2, i dug through the console area, and besides finding that NOTHING 
was screwed down, my diff locks, which I was told were working, are 
completely disconnected.  It appears as if the vacuum setup is 
complete, however.  The vacuum setup for the pullswitch is complete, 
and makes a fwooshy noise when I pull on it.  My question is, how do I 
retrofit this to a late model switch panel?  It's got six inputs, and a 
rotary switch.  Should I just put the old panel back in?  It's not like 
the gauges do anything...and I don't know how to correct that either.  
How do I know when the diffs are engaged?  Where are the locations on 
the switch to lock one diff versus both?  IE, do I pull it out halfway, 
then all the way, or neither...or what?  How does it work on the 
original car?

PS my fusebox is under the dash, from what I can tell.  The battery 
light issue almost seems to have corrected itself.  I'm a little 
disappointed in the previous owner's description of the condition of 
the car...i was under the impression most of these things were taken 
care of.  c'est la vie, at least I'm learning all about audi.  He did 
include the bentley manual and microfiche, whatever that is.  Hooray 
for reading material!

All for now,
-Andrew
