look to see if you have red struts... Look carefully they are probably filthy and have road tar built up in them

It had the sport wheels and the sport steering wheel, but I'm wondering if the sport steering wheel was added later, because the +/- buttons on the wheel don't work.

+/- buttons are for shifting in tiptronic

Ok...I'm a dumbass....I'll try that tomorrow.

Like I said....I've only had the car for a couple of months, and no, I haven't read the manual. LOL

This is my first Audi...
