A/C, keyless entry, and cruise control issues with potential purchase

Greetings. Cross posting from the 4000/Coupe GT board. I've found an '04 A4 1.8T with low miles and in great condition. It's time for me to venture into the realm of the A4... yes, there is life...

I've got an OE windshild, but it's in WA

Pulled from a coupe about 15 years ago. Guy at the yard insisted it would fit my 4k, but not... Been in my basement ever since. Shade tint at top is faded, but I don't think it has any chips. ...

Ditto. I picked up a few extras the last time I bought some, but...

I've gone through most of them. Seems like each time I take off the trim, I break about half of them. They do get very brittle.

I think the way they are supposed to come out is that you pry...

Will they be able to order it in Zermatt?
Are there...

Anyone know the bolt pattern on an early (pre 85?) Jetta? I saw one with 15" R8s...

If 4x108, I might make an unsolicited offer :)
... but I have a hunch they're probably 4x100s?

Unfortunately I've got to sell it one way or the other. Just not sure if I should fix it to sell...

or sell it as-is.

I'd like to sell it to someone that would keep it on the road, but don't want to sink more into it than I can get out... Thus the query as to how much I might get after body,...

Thinking it's time to sell the '84...

Kept it after the accident to be a parts car for my '86, but never had the heart to pull anything off of it... unless it was an emergency... and even at that I found the parts to put it back...

Can you get at all the shift lever bushings from the top? What about adjusting after reassembly...

Seem to recall that there's a special tool, or you can also do it by trial and error. 30 Minutes sounds good!

Civil engineer - transportation consultant. Used to actually design roads and traffic signals but..

after about 18 years of that fun (for an engineer/auto enthusiast), I now mostly manage projects, people and clients.

Sorry, I can't pull any strings to get some more green time for you on that...

So how much did the wheel refurbish set you back?

I've got a set of 15x6 R8s. Not nearly as sweet as yours, but a nice stock-looking upgrade over the 14s. Best estimate I've gotten for a straightening, curb rash repair, blast and repaint is over...

Is the place you had them installed a TireRack recommended installer?

I would hope there would be some incentive to provide reasonable prices and customer service to stay on their 'recommended' list and keep the TireRack customers coming in?

Talked to Mike at Cascade Wheel in Lynnwod and got a few answers to my previous questions...

Yes, they are somewhat limited to the colors they can use. Probably not an issue for your white ones Mike. He said they could blend their silver powder to try and match Zermatt better, but it would...

My'86 has spent it's whole life in Seattle/Tacoma.

I picked it up from the original owner after I wrecked my '84. I've brought it to Burien a couple of times, maybe where you saw it? It's got the 14x6 original wheels on it in my picture poster. ...
