Default Could I be allergic to my A4?
I have been getting rashes ever since I got my 2001 A4 Avant 1.8T. So last Saturday, I started driving my wife's car instead and the rashes have cleared up. Has anybody heard of Audi leatherette causing allergy reactions?

Default Haven't ever heard of that, but there's a first time for everything. If you don't mind me asking....
....where are the rashes? I mean do you think you're reacting to an airborne allergen (like something that may be related to carpet or dash vinyls offgassing) or is it something you're coming into direct contact with inside the car? Just curious. Never heard of this happening to anyone before.

Default Unfortunately, you're probably going to have to stop driving your A4...

Not likely. I've had it for a year and it is not cleaned that often.

perhaps the fact that it's not cleaned often has something to do with it (???)

Doesn't get dirty often. If its dust, that's everywhere.
