Sorry Glenn, I've no factory manual for the UrQ (or any way to get one that
I can think of) Come to think of it, I wouldn't even know how to get an UrQ
here... even if I could pay for it! :-)

I *did* come across some old Audi factory manuals (huge tomes in German)
sometime ago at a swapmeet. Dealer clearout? Very cheap for the amount of
paper you got... by my estimation about 1500 pages of info- on the 5K/100
series- for $60 equiv. I let it go at the time, but it could have been
useful to someone.
