Default 2005 a4 1.8t quattro Spec. Ed


I just bought a used Audi as stated in the subject above... love it so far, but is there anything I should be aware of?
So far, the airbag light stays on, and twice, the turn signals have not turned off after returning the gauge to the center position.

I've also noticed some weird grinding/subtle rumblings from the wheels, but since I've never had ABS/Quattro (had a 99 Jetta), I don't know if those are natural vibes from the technology. I love the car, though, and know that ***** "peculiarities" like this can occur.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Default WRT the Airbag...

I have a 2005 Ultrasport that I bought a few months back. I has been in twice with airbag problems. Apparently it is a "software" issue according to the Audi technicians. The second time seemed to do the trick (knock on wood).

Another thing to keep an eye on is the brake light switch. I would go to my car in the morning and the brake lights would come on spontaneously during the night. My buddy who also had a 2005 had the same issue. Switch was replaced by Audi - problem gone.

Wheel noise: tires maybe? What kind are on there?

Hope this helps.
