1999 Audi A4 Quattro review from North America
"Not friendly to the do-it-yourselfer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air bag light is on; the faulty sensor is in the column on the driver side. My understanding is it is very expensive to fix.
I like to change my own oil, but the oil filter is hard to access and the oil drain plug harder to get to.
General comments?
Car runs well, and everything is tight.
There is a problem to do maintenance; you need to work to get parts undone and new parts on.
