Upshift Relay

[jon beck <jon@tranquility.net>]

Hi Everyon,

I have an '86 4000s, 180K that I recently purchased, my first audi.  I have 
been making many small repairs with the help of my Bentley and my VW ('86 
sirrocco, same engine as mine) owning friends.  We discovered that we could 
get rid of the annoying upshift indicator in both of our cars by removing a 
relay.  My question is, will anything else be harmed by the removal of this 
relay?  Am I screwing up any emmissions things or anything else?  I also 
changed the door open ding/dong relay to a VW realy that has a better 
sound, a 3-toned noise.  Will that present any problems?  The relay from a 
VW fits in my audi, but there are fewer pins on the VW relay.

thanks
