Default My A8 is a 2000 and does not have the heated steering wheel

the book says it does, the fuse panel says it does, but there is not wiring for a fuse in the fuse panel. I think they pulled it for that year and reinstated it in 01'. hopefully some others with 2000's will weigh in.

Default Thank you, that is what I thought. I also didn't see it listed under the model guide for 00

but it is listed for 01.

Like you said hopefully others will chime in. =)

Default cars with winter package? heated seats?

My 99 has winter pkg plus heated wheel, once replaced already . Not sure if they ditched it in the 01-03 cars

My 01 has it. It's included in the "premium package" option.

Hmm interesting, Thanks. Maybe they missed it on the 00's.

Default ...and those "with" seemingly have a high failure rate.

At some point within this year there was actually a poll on that here. 'Twas as high as 50% failure IIRC.

Shame, sure is a nice touch...

(pun intended)
