Default teh A4 does not like the cold weather....

1) Clutch felt very stiff this morning from start-up and until she warmed up.

2) One of my climate control fans in the center is squeaking.

3) Left headlight washer got stuck open.

On a positive note she started right up without a problem.

This morning:

Default Why use the headlight washer in below-freezing temps?

Just asking for trouble.

Default Hey, you don't have to be right all the time, you know

Personally, I hate using those damn washers.

Default That is warm... What are you talking... -43 celcius is cold

We have -43 celcius. And my Audi started up after two cranks. Everything worked. The clutch was a little stiff, but other than that no probs at all. IMO you guys have it good.
