Default New owner questions

Hello i am a Proud owner of a 1997 A4 1.8t Quattro and had a few questions.

1.) My Temp gauge for the Engine is reading lower then it should. is there an adjustment that i could do to fix it?

2.) Fuel Gauge does the same thing then when it gets under half it show's that it empty then shoots back up, then goes back down then up then down etc... Again how do i fix it?

3.) Bose six disc is coming up with a CDOERROR. Is that the receiver or the six disc it's self?

4.) Is the stock turbo tunable and is it risky if it is?

5.) I don't know if this is normal for A4's but when i go to adjust the seats it's really hard to move both of them forward and back. Any suggestions on how to make it smoother? I have already greased them only help a little bit.

Thanks in advance guys.

No, it's not adjustable. Most commonly, it's the temp sensor dying.

You'll have to troubleshoot this one, though it's likely the level sender.

Are you using burned or commercial discs?

Check the stickies.

You likely need a little lube and possibly seat track guides. http://www.ecstuning.com
