Hairy green toads from Mars made J. Joaquin Margarido Menendez say:

> I am new to the list too and have another question.  I own a 1988 Audi 100 quattro, 2226 cm3, 102 Kw, original from Belgium. I looking for Audi 100Q manuals because I can't find any specification about the user guide for this car. For example: I dont know if I use de Quattro button properly. etc..

I don't know if anyone else has replied to you yet, so I will.
I am pretty sure you can get the owner's manual from Audi through
a dealer. I think they cost about $10 US (no idea what that is
in Belgium).

But I did want to clear up one thing.

That button is not a "quattro" button. The car is *ALWAYS* quattro,
all wheels always driven. The button is to lock the rear differential
so the rear wheels turn together. It is only used at low speeds
(< 25KPH), and will turn itself off above that speed. It also turns
off the ABS, becuase it won't work right with the diff locked.

It is "supposed" to help getting started or un-stuck in deep snow,
but I have tried it a couple of times and found relatively little
use for it. It doesn't seem to help me at all (and I get a LOT of
snow up here). So you can just ignore it :-)
