Just picked up a '98 A4 2.4 SE Auto. Bought on a whim (because it was too cheap not to) from a work colleague, haven't got a clue on Audi's as this is my first, so thinking on my feet to sort a few minor flaws out.

While I wait for a manual to appear, could anyone give me a brief rundown of the central locking system on it? I think I can hear a pump running near the boot if I operate the boot lock (though nothing else happens) so I'm assuming the old vacuum type? Also assuming that as the door lock doesn't create the same noise they have stnd switch mechanism with wire's that break at the door hinge?. Where are the pump and control modules, any fuses - any bits of knowledge handy to save me taking apart bits I don't have to!

Cheers
