Please update me on the changes for 1999.5 A4 I have been away for a while.My A4 is scheduled for december production and now I do not know if It would be worth waiting for.

Thanks,I was having problems finding the information in the archives.

I tried '1999.5' and all I got was the 1999.5 cabrio.I am looking for information on the product freshening changes for the 1999.5 A4.

The archive uses a fairly simple search process. The broader your search keywords are the more info will be available.<p>1999 changes have 400 or so hits. Changes, model changes, etc, can all help get you there.<p><br>There is very little factual information about these changes yet. I personally would call AOA and grill them. They send the dealers updates by fax all the time, so they too should be able to help you. Audi/VW/P all do undocumented changes BTW. That is why we have a 98.5.1 and Audi doesn't bother to advertise the differences.<p>Good luck

Thanks for the update info.I wonder if I will regret buying a 1999 in january and a month later see a new body style.I have a loaded A4 1.8tqm silver/black for december production,but no deposit on the car.My dealer ordered to my specs so he will have what I need when my current lease expires.Just curious about somones thoughts.

Hi Jim.<p>I also ordered my A4 to correspond with the lease-end date on my 97 Explorer. I am very lucky because it seems like the arrival of the A4 and lease end of the Explorer will be within a week of eachother.<p>After finding out about the 1999.5 revisions, I was kind of ticked off because I didn't expect my brand new car to be so out-of-date in a few months (numerous 1999.5 changes). But when I thought about it, I think the A4 is a fantastic car and I am lucky to have the chance to get it, period. If I always wait for 'the next model', I will drive myself crazy. In addition, I would have to rent a car for about 6 months to allow for producton and delivery of a 1999.5 knowing that my Explorer lease ends November 21st,1998.<p>I will simply be forced to make MY OWN 1999.5 changes :) (i.e. chip, aftermarket stereo, wood trim, etc.)<p>Just my $.02.<p>TGB 1999.25 1.8T qMS (In port)
