A4 - Annoying Wind Sound

[Fringe Ryder <fringe@ai.net>]

My other car (2 door) does that if the moonroof is off but the windows are
shut.  Open the windows and it ceases.  My A4Q (2.8) does that if the
sunroof is open and the windows are shut, but not if the sunroof is in the
raised position or if the sunroof is open and the rear windows are open.

It's just an air pressure thing.  Crack the sunroof a smidgen and it will
cease.  Or turn on the ventilation fan to high.

Regards
