Also, if you've never read it over, the link to Eliot's AWD Writeup in the quattro.html page of the Q-List (www.eskimo.com/~eliot/awd.html) at the bottom has a nice description of the various 4WD systems (Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, VW, Subaru, etc.) and their differences. Print this out for your mechanic so he knows what he's fixin'! Best Wishes, Alex Kowalski '86 5KCSTQ
