      For a few years, Audi has had some horrible quality control problems, but most of them have happened after your 1998 was new.

      The 98s "only" have 5 recalls on them......none life threatening at least...

          gf drives one. I think its actually a 01? Bad wheel bearings. Then the norm brake/rotors. Maintenance on those cars is expensive!! With it being a quattro tires is another issue. They claim you cant change just one tire...it has to be all 4..and it has to be aligned the proper way. So if you get a flat tire driving...i dont believe theres a spare in the car..unless its full size. Even then they claim its not supposed to be driven unless all tires match. So if it ever has to be towed...has to be on a flat bed.
