Hey buddy. First of all I love your Audi. I had a metallic brown a4 1.8 non turbo non quattro was a 97. Recently sold it to buy a car wich uses less gas. I ended up buying a Benz buy now after 2 months and seeing ur thread im certain that im going to buy another b5.

Both my headlights and my fog lights went out the other day. I assumed it had to do with the switch, did some searching, and found the solution.
I've pulled the steering wheel off so many times now it doesn't take but a few minutes. I also found a way to skip a few unnecessary steps I was doing before.
Here you can see where the headlight switch contact was not being pushed up fully into position.
After popping the contacts out, I found the culprit. A bit of melted plastic was keeping the spring depressed.
A little work with a piece of sand paper got it all cleaned up. Fixed! Yay lights.

Really though. Next time I'm up at the junkyard I'll grab a spare assembly. I'm also considering putting a relay in for the fogs to reduce the current going through the switch.

The tools I rented arrive tomorrow so I began the tear down tonight. Not so bad! I still had the most trouble getting the bumper off, it's no joke.
When I started to crank it to TDC it kept moving back...until I realized the car was still in gear. I hope I didn't bend anything...
What looks like a leaky intake cam seal to me.
Some buildup around the crank pulley. Although a portion of that is from where I scraped the block.
Ready for tomorrow!
