so this one, its a 98 silver A4 1.8turbo. (im not sure if i like the black one better from a previous post)

it runs and drives great..but only a few problems:
1.for some reason when the door is open, the interior lights will flash on and off slowly when the key is in the ignition(any suggestions on what this could be?)
2.the gauge cluster display in the middle, the text is all choppy, it has lines going through it and ****(any way to replace this and keep correct mileage?)
3. Keyless entry system works, but the buttons are fucked on the key(it works, but hard to push, how expensive is this to replace?)


any help on these is greatly appreciated..i hope that i can eventually find a nice a4 to keep, and of course i'll post pics when i get one


thanks again

 

well most all a4s have the #2 problem.

 

ya thats what the guy said

anything that can be done about it? i'd rather not have to play wheel of fortune everytime im trying to read it lol

thanks for the quick reply, and ideas on the others as well?

 

you can get a new key fob off of ebay, program it and have it cut.. dont think it would be terribly expensive

 

About $300 from Audi... I would know. [:@]

 

you program it yourself? or is that a dealership thing? sorry guys its my first audi. i know getting it cut would have to be at the dealership, im guessing thats just like 25 bucks?

 

300 for? the gauge cluster? god damn...

 

another thing, the a4 have side airbags? just double checking.

any ideas on the light situation? i know it seems kinda strange..

 

There will be an "airbag" badge on the side of the seats if you have side air bags.. The center dash readout thing I have that problem, but only sometimes now (it has gotten better over time) and the lights flashing means the car is haunted like the rest of ours, so just get it and join the club!

 

hahhaha i like that reply, so nothing to really worry about? it has 110k miles on it..guys giving me a 10k warranty, anything i should be worried about? i was told to check to see if the timing belt was replaced or not..im so used to my rx7 im like wtf timing belt haha
