Hairy green toads from Mars made Chris Dyer say:

Do you hear the pump at all? Probably not. Take out the back seat,
and get to the pump: a small black box w/motor in the right corner
of the seat. Unplug it, plug it in again (maybe clean contacts).
If it works, you're all set. If not, time for a new pump.

I've always had good luck with my Kenwoods. On number three now
(in two cars), and a cassette player.

Uh, oh, headlight wars!

Bentley is the service manual. Amazon.com has them for a decent price.
The owners manual can be had from 1-800-822-AUDI.

Probably 205/60/15.
