Column Lock Question
I purchased my '99 from a private lot. How can I find out if the column lock problem mentioned in the above sticky note was ever corrected. I am currently not having this problem but don't want to in the future.

From the above sticky:
Q How can I tell if I’ve had the recall mod?
A1 If you have an A4 car, can you turn your steering wheel freely while the ignition key is removed? If so, you probably DO have the recall mod.
A2 For all cars, you can inspect your wiring by removing your knee bolster under the driver's side. Inspect your column lock harness. If the four wires in your ECL harness are Orange, Purple, Green, Black on both sides of the connector, then you DO NOT have the recall mod installed. If you have White, Purple, Green, Black on either side of the connector, then you DO have the recall mod.
Did that not answer yor question?

I'd have gladly paid that $50 several times over to avoid what I'm going through.
