The new X1 is based on their small van FWD platform. Since it is a transverse engine and FWD, I assume...

Crystal Silver with Platinum interior. I think the stock wheels look great and match the car as well as you could want. Doesn't need to roll around on comical low-profile 20s like a modern-day S6.

I'm curious where you think the point of no return is for us owners without room for a parts car, ability to fabricate our own parts and so on. Right now it seems like I can get what I need OEM as...

Dear Mrs. BB1995S6:

Your husband owns the car he loves. Any vintage car is a labor of love - even a classic Mustang will lose you time and money. So why not leave off asking him to get rid of the...

Servotronic trivia: you can unplug the servotronic unit and the power steering acts just like a non-Servotronic rack. This did not cause a CEL on my '95 (with 4A1 422 065AF).

I'd vote coincidence also.

I've occasionally had to roll my car a few feet or rock it to get reverse into gear - that was true with my B5 A4 as well. I chalk that up to wear and tear.
