Default Just got my 2001 a4 b5 2.8 today, and a few small problems..

I love the car, and the engine and tranny work flawless, but some problems:

The blinker when engaged blinks a few times and then stops blinking.. I think its the connector that needs to be replaced (How do I do that)

The car drifts to the right when driving straight, I believe this is because the tread on one tire is a lot less than the other when I inspected it, will changing is help?

And lastly a taillight is out, which bulb should I buy and how do I go about replacing it?

Thanks!

the blinker could be a fuse...dont take my word on that.

With the car drifting to the right, is it a hard pull or a small drift, if its a hard pull it will need an alignment, if its a slight pull its how they align cars so if you fall asleep you wont drift into oncoming traffic.

as for your taill lights...http://www.ehow.com/how_7292185_chan...1-audi-a4.html

I doubt its the fuse because it actually works for a little and then stops.. Could is still be it?

Its a slight drift

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

1) "blinker not working"
https://www.audiforums.com/forum/search.php you get instant gratification

2) If your drifting to the right, AND you got uneven tire wear are symptons that you need an alignment.

3) Tail light. I dont know what stores you guys have in the states, but we have canadian tire here (i think it would kinda be like NAPA to you guys), should have a cataloge for all vehicles and what bulbs they use.
