I bought (for my wife, whom I love dearly) a used( abused) 1996 A4 2.6, I understand that the belt will have to be replaced (with 160,000kms on the clock, who knows when it was last changed) but on the way home I went to fill up and couldn't get the filler cap cover open. after about an hour and much pulling I forced it open!. there is a small solenoid holding the cap shut, but what activates it? there's a "central" green window button that seems to unlock the boot. is that it? while very classy the A4 has reams of niggly little problems! no brake lights, no horn, fuel cap, connector for antenna missing, rear ashtray broken, pulsing brakes ect.ect. at the moment she prefers the 92 3ltr Lexus! help me make her happy!!! regards Geoff.
