Audifans is the internet's oldest Audi resource and owner/enthusiast community. Founded in 1991 as "the quattro list" and supported through volunteers and donations, we provide email-based discussion lists, almost two decades of searchable discussion archives, marketplace for listing cars, parts for sale and wanted, and a publicly-editable encyclopedia of Audi model, tool, history, and repair information.

Monday, May 5 2009: Adopt-a-Sublist by Brett

Audifans is best known for the main quattro list, where everyone is strongly encouraged to post general Audi-related topics. We also maintain a number of sublists for certain models and I consider it no coincidence that the more popular lists have dedicated list administrators running them. However, we have a number of other sublists which need some care, feeding, and stewardship- so I'm recruiting for those interested in helping with the 20v, A4, A8, Events, TT, and V6-12v lists (and encouraging those with applicable Audis to join those lists too!) Click on the title of this post to read on about what is involved and how to apply.

Thursday, April 4 2009: This week's featured Knowledgebase Article by Brett

I decided that mentioning good, new KnowledgeBase articles on the main page might encourage people to contribute more. Fame, fortune, glory! This week's featured article is by Kent McLean, who recently purchased a V8 Quattro which had been almost completely converted to a manual transmission. With help from the Audifans V8 mailing list, Kent tricked the car into thinking it was in "park" (so it would start), wired up the reverse lights, and wrote it all up in an article about the V8 Automatic Multi-Function Switch. It's great to see the help of others plus sweat equity distilled into a technical article like this!

Friday, April 4 2009: Site outage by Dan

Our colo provider moved physical facilities last night, and due to some cabling issues, we were down overnight.
Everything is back running normally and things should be stable. If they aren't, expect another briefer outage as we move providers :)
Thanks for your patience.
