Location assistance please
So...I have had my B5 S4 Avant for about 6 days now. Overall I would have to say I love it BUT....I am having a few minor issues.
First off my brakes squeek like mad when I am coming to a slow creeping stop. They look pretty new so I will pull the wheel and clean and lube it per thethreads I have read.
Secondly the Air Bag light is on. The car did not come with a manual so I was unaware this was a bad thing ( dumb I know but I have never had a car with airbags). My guess (again from searches) is that when detailing they messed with the sensor under the pass. seat. I would pull the battery to reset but I dont have the manual...so no radio code. Trying to find a shop to clear it for cheap, so far I have fould one that said they would do it for $45.
Lastly...I just fould out my heater does not work. Tested it when I test drove the car but I did not realize that after 10 seconds it went cold. So I have read all the posts about this and I am going to try and diagnose/bleed/flush the heater core myself BUT......without a manual or service manual and having only worked on older Land Cruisers, I have no idea where anything is.
I am in the process of getting a FSM (Bentley)but it will not have one for a while.
Can anyone tell me where my heater core is, where the hoses are that go in through the firewall, where the bleed nipple is and more importantly how do I get to them. It is a bit overwhealming opening the hood on this thing. I know there is an engine under all those covers but I have no idea where!
Any help would be great. I am confident I could take care of it (didmost of the work on my '69 and '91 Land Cruisers)if I could just figure out how to get to it.
Thanks for the assistance.
Take care

I say get a bentley manual for it. http://www.bentleypublishers.com/findMyCar.doI believe this is the rightlink. Anyway good luck and don't be scared to tackle issues these cars are indimidating at first but after closer examination it's still just a bunch of nuts and bolts.
