some problems with my new car

B5A4 · 10-01-2007, 12:02 PM

So I just picked up a 96 A4 with 146k miles on it. basicly it was clean but not perfect. my cd changer doesn't recognize my cds (gives me a disk read error), my sun roof shade is in the head liner and will not come out, the button to move the power driver seat is missing, the cig. lighter doesn't heat up, and my e-brake plastic is broken. are these common problems or is it just my car. also how difficult is it to fix these and how expensive?

hi, i got 97 a4 AEB with 158k miles on it. all the problems u mentioned is realy nothing when buying a car of the age and milage, the main thing is engine, transmision, wiring and normal body (no heavy accidents ...). I can not say anything about prices at yours. but you can be sure, you just pay money to buy the parts you already know which and just replace. my car consumes lot of gas and nobody can say why, many technicians tested it and say it is ok, but milage is 15/19 miles/gallon city/hgw. so be happy, at least if i had problems like yours, i would be.

I was wondering what was up with the miles per gallon. i was thinking that i needed injector cleaner or something but my mileage is about the same as yours.
