I am going in for my 7.5K service in a couple of weeks. My A4 was built in March 98. Like many of you, I have very marginal remote range. I have found and printed a page from the archives that says:<p>Audi Technical Bulletin<br>Subject: Folding Key (Keyless Remote Transmitter), Increasing Distance Range<br>Model(s): A4 Sedan 1998<br>Group: 57<br>Number: 98-02<br>Date: June 16, 1998<p>Condition: Low remote transmitter range (remote functions operate only within 5 feet or less).<p>Production: Improved transmitter beginning production 03.98 with VIN: 8DW128920<p>My question is: Does this mean that A4's built 3/98 or later already have this fix built in, and there is no further improvement available under warranty? Has anyone with a more recent build had this done? I don't want to rely on my dealer to answer this because I know some of you have had difficulty convincing your dealers to do this when they definitely should.<br>Thanks in advance!<br>

I still got it done. And my dealer said my car was on their last shipment of 98's (in July). So I doubt you have it already done. It's all warranty stuff so make them do it. =)<p>Jason<br>98.75 1.8T pearlescent

I have a 98.5 that was built in 4/98 and I had terrible remote range (10 ft. or less). When I took my car in for the 5K maintenance this past week, the dealer was aware of the problem, and fixed it for me. My remote range now is at least 50 feet, and I am loving it!!!<p>'98.5 1.8TMS
