My car: 1999.5 A4 2.8Q US model, will pass 75k miles tomorrow. Runs great.
I love my car. But there are a few reasons I wish I had gotten a 2000 or 01. One is xenons (took care of that anyway). Another is digital clock (yes, minor). Another is electric locks vs pneumatic. My 2000 Jetta had electric, and when I upgraded to the 99.5 A4, I was surprised to learn I had pneumatic locking.
Does anyone have a really high mileage A4 from 1996 or 1997 or 1998? How's your pneumatic locking system holding up? Any known problems? Preventive maintenance?
Any advice appreciated.
Danke.
