Hello,

I recently purchased a 94 UrS4. It has 248K KM's on the meter and I have an easy question, at least I hope it's easy.

This car a broken antenna that I'd like to repair and am wondering what options I may have?

There's other issues with the car that I will be addressing soon, Front brakes, dash lighting, missing trim, and new tires.

Thanks.

Congrats on the new Audi. I can tell you only the '94 model had the electric antenna, so many of us haven't dealt with
it before. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) thread at the top of the page may address some of your issues, so check
it out. It will also have some online parts stores, and someone like Blauparts might have a couple antena motors to choose from.

Front Brakes - many upgrade fronts to Porsche
Dash Lighting - about a dozen 1W bulbs - many replace with 2W
Missing Trim - if you mean door trim, I think OEM is the normal option

The antenna is unique to the 94 as GoHeels stated. It is very likely a Hirschman and will likely have been used on other German cars, e.g. VW, BMW, etc.

Thanks for the information. The mast is broken on the antenna and I can hear the motor run when the radio is powered. I'm going to see if I can simply replace the mast.

For the front brakes, and because of a lack of rims, I will just look for OEM parts. The car came with winter steel rims. I'm trying to get a hold of the original rims. The beakes work fine, its just the waring light that's bothering me now. I did read up on how to override that low pad sensor as well.

I'll look at the Audi parts site for some trim. I will see about using LED bulbs for the dash. superbrightleds??

I like this car, its large and comfortable. I want it to last. It was close to being parted before I got it. It needed a clutch pedal, hydraulics, and new front struts. that work is done and I am daily driving it now.
