why dont you take it back to the person you bought it from??

 

Hmmm, I can't find a place in my audi to input my VIN number. Do you have a link?

 

Is it really that hard to look under the car?

If there is a driveshaft from the gearbox to the rear, it's quatro.
As you can see from the pictures above, the Audi has a 3-part rear axle, so it doesn't look anything like the rear axle of a 4x4 truck with stiff axle.

If you're still uncertain, just take a picture and post here.

 

ohh you could put the front end on jack stands and put the car in gear and floor it if you move you got/had quattro

 

I only want to know the VIN number cuz I want to know what my car came with. I know mine is a quattro :P

 

did you click on "my audi" on the right hand side? Then you have to register.

 

Yeah I registered and everything. Still no input for VIN, only saw one for Owner ID but that requires that you have warranty on your car.

 

Hmmmm I just registered too. At the bottom of the screen it says "Go to Edit preferences, and indicate that you own an Audi. Then follow the prompts to complete the registration with your VIN and you're done." I did that and i was not prompted to enter my VIN. I wonder if they have removed that feature. [&:]

 

How do I know the beautifully maintained 1996 A4 I just bought is a Quattro?

1) "Quattro" badge by the glovebox.
2) "2.8 Quattro" badge on the bootlid.
3) I can see the driveshaft between the two exhaust lines (and oil splash on one of the cats from a leak in the center differential; ah, the downside of AWD).


The 3rd through 8th characters of my VIN, which describe major attributes of the car, are "EA88D." I believe the "A" denotes the 2.8L 12V engine; I suspect the "Quattro" is buried somewhere in the remaining 4 letters.
