    AKL 1.6 power loss, slightly jerky acceleration, won't rev past ~5,600

    Hey all, my '99 A3 has recently (last week or so) started displaying a behaviour wherein it seems to be a bit down on power (not dramatically so, but I notice it), especially in lower revs and sometimes hesitates for a moment when I press the throttle. If I go to run through the gears, power...

    No mention of it in the manual that I can see, and I don't see one when I start the car? Powerplant is an AKL 1.6

    '99 A3 8L: Passenger window not operable by driver control

    As per the topic, the '99 that I'm looking at picking up has an odd issue. The passenger window control works fine, but if the driver wants to roll down the passenger window it doesn't work. Likewise, using the keyfob or turn-in-the-lock trick will not operate said window. Is this likely a...
