RE: A4 whine at speed and remote locking

["Greg" <mis@postoffice.worldnet.att.net>]

I have the same whine.  But mine happens at about 45-55 mph.  I had the
same thing in my 91 Honda.  I'm not sure what makes this sound, however, I
put 50K miles on my Honda and never had a problem.  Think of it as a jet
engine turbine that you hear.  That should make you feel better.  Or, just
drive 85-90 miles per hour all the time.  :)  Try explain that to the
officer.

You didn't mention whether your A4 was a Quattro and or a 5 speed manual. 
My A4 and old Honda were both a 5 speed.  Just wondering if it has an
reverence to the problem.

Remote Locks?  I suggest you search the archives.  There has been a lot of
discussion about this problem.  You will find that you are not alone.  I
don't recall if there was a fix but you will find an abundant amount of
postings in the archives.  You can also go the Jets BBS: 
http://www.denver.net/~jet/a4.html   I believe that there was also some
postings about the remote entry anomaly.

Hope this helps.
