What I love about 4x4ing in my A4 is that I can shove my car onto any pile of snow (not offroad - but I mean street sides or parking lots ... as long as any one wheel is free. It's amazing how quattro hauls back the car on the road with ease ... never had to try twice (yet! [8D])

My one is a B6 1.8T...

 

Well i dont have the vent blocked off on my awe gauge, but i do have the buzzz. Sucks ***, i sent it in, but i think its a result of the T piece in one of the vac-lines, and i never get around to fixing it.
