The '''Audifans.com KnowledgeBase''' is a repository of technical help compiled by past and present owners of Audi {{tag|autos|automobiles}}.  Its focus is more on the "older" models ({{tag|1980s|1980}} - 1995 or so), but this is mostly due to the contributors having greater experience with them.

The [[wiki]] was originally created before [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] was well-known, on a {{tag|1990s}}-era [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]], and was mostly edited by people from the Audifans.com (previously "quattro") mailing list, which started in 1991.

As of September 2011, the KnowledgeBase part of the site is down, caused by 'server issues' ([http://www.audifans.com/pipermail/quattro/2011-April/133044.html the guy who ran the server failed to pay his bills])!
