welcome to the forum

you can adjust ur headlights with a philips sceww driver, there should be able to find them them if u looked

if u pull out the switch it turns on the front fog lights and if u pull it out one more click it turns on the rear fog light
dont use the rear unless it is foggy AND YOU ONLY HAVE ONE RERAR FOG LIGHT

audi says u never have to change the tranny fluid but who knows

and u can replace the traction control button i guess

welcome to the forums. ok first thing to know bout this forum. there is a search tool and we recommend that you use it when you have questions. but ur new and probly didnt know that so now you know. to answer ur questions:
u can hook it up to stock headunit but there is a part u need. forgot what the guy said ut its like 10 bucks at most. just go to any decent audio place and tell them what kinda car u have and they'll know right off the bat.
rims should fit just fine but i dunno bout the sport tuned suspension. almost positive tho.
headlights, all you need is a screwdriver, phillips if i recall.
one click for fog lights and 2 clicks for rear fog light. notice it is only one rear fog light and if you keep them on a cop will stop you and write you a ticket for a brake light being out. just don't even bother with the fog lights unless its actually really foggy.
the transmission fluid is supposed to be a lifetime fluid but people on here will recommend you get it changed down the road at some point cause its better for your car. u shouldn't have to worry until like 80-100K tho. and dont even tihnk bout doin it yourself. you need a vag com to monitor the fluid temp and when it just right you have to have the car at just the right level to do it. Just take it to the stealership.
traction control button doesn't seem like it would be too difficult


i think i was nice this time. dont you guys?

hmm not sure.. are you talking about maybe a blank spot in case u want to
add a switch for something? (ie: city light switch maybe?)
is there a symbol on the button? if so - check the manual...


cool name by the way - (that is a Shaolin reference right?)

Do you have halogen lights or Xenons. The xenons have electronic leveling and would need to be adjusted with a VAGCOM or at the dealer.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I have the same switch (I also have xenons if that makes any diff). I'm trying to figure out what it is and it's not in my manual anywhere. You operate it by pushing the **** in, and then the **** comes out. You then rotate the **** to either 0 or | and push it back in.

For hooking up an additional amp to your stock Bose stereo for a subwoofer, check out www.a4mods.com. There are several very good DIY write-ups with pictures on there.
