Here, talk to the Jetta Owners at this link: They'll tell you. But turn off your CAPS LOCK or they'll give you all kinds of flack and probably not answer you. It's considered "bad netiquette" to use cap lock--it translates as "HEY I"M SHOUTING AT YOU!"
Anyway, here's your link:

I have an Audi 97 18T.
Recently the maintenance code "ln 2" display on the odormeter when I start the car.
Since this is a second hand and no manual come with the car.
Could anyone please help to translate ?
Thanks!

For approx. 6 months, I've had an annoying rattling sound (imagine marbles rattling on a metal pan) in the exhaust system, somewhere between the middle and the rear of the truck.
It only makes the noise after the exhaust is hot (at least 3-5 miles of driving 45+ MPH). The rattle comes when I slow down - approx 10mph to 30mph. Very difficult to troubleshoot, because I've had it up on the lift at my mechanic's shop, and he shook and beat on the entire exhaust and couldn't get it to rattle at all. It only does it when the exhaust is hot - so once I bring it to a stop, even for a minute, it cools down enough that it won't rattle anymore.
I'm guessing one of two things: Either a cat converter, or some internal heat shield or baffle in the muffler that only rattles when it gets super hot. There is absolutely NOTHING on the exterior of the exhaust - hangers, shields, etc that we could get to rattle.
I would presume that similar vehicles - 2000+ model year Tahoes, Suburbans, Silverados, etc all have nearly identical exhaust systems. Anybody have a similar problem?

Thank U Ducky2
I had a long talk with the service mgr. as well as calling the Volvo customer service number to register my complaint. Is there anything more I should be doing?
I have a Zemco trip computer in my old van that I want to install in the new one but I need to attach a wire to one of the one of the fuel injector leads. How do you get at them? How do you get at the Spark plugs?

You can find the procedure On this page.
If it is the Maintenance Reminder Light, then there is a reset.
Federal equipped vehicles only have a cancel switch which needs to be reset after the 50,000, 80,000, and 100,000 mile maintenance service is completed.
The MIL cancel switch is located behind the instrument panel, attached to the instrument panel next to left speaker.
To reset the switch, move the switch to "OFF."
NOTE: Disconnecting the battery or fuses will NOT reset this light if it is on due to maintenance.
BUT FIRST---screw in a mechanical oil pressure gauge and get a numerical reading to make sure your sensor for the oil light isn't screwy.
Check all the fuses and fusible links in engine compartment.
It sounds like you may have shorted something when putting the instrument panel back in.
When ever working with electrical, always disconnect the battery to prevent shorting anything.
Moving the switch shouldn't have created any problems, it is just a reset.
There isn't any voltage running through the reset switch.
Since the light came on and went out when you turned the key, it sounds like your battery is dead.
Check the voltage on the battery and check the battery connections.
You should post this question here:

Where's the radiator drain? The service manual shows it at the left. I can't see anything over there. I drain my 98 by disconnecting the lower radiator hose rather than messing \with the drain, but this one has the hose connection at the middle of the radiator vertically!

The manual trans model, you can access the trouble codes without a scantool, but not the auto trans.
Sorry
Thx PGP
Reset? How?

Of course, you may have more than one problem---where did the coolant go?
Why don't you have your system pressure tested for a leak first?
So we start by finding the leak and fixing that. Then we can test further if necessary.
A radiator can sometimes be unclogged by removing it and having it dunked, although on very modern cars they usually just replace it. Seems unlikely for a car as new as yours to have a plugged radiator but you have to consider every possibility.
Changing the thermostat wouldn't cost too much.
I'm also wondering if there is, on your car, a special procedure for adding coolant so that you don't let air into the cooling system. If you do, you block the flow of water, since the water pump can't push air around your engine's innards.
So:
1. Find and fix leak
2. Tighten fan belt that drives water pump
If car still overheats:
3. Make sure your electric cooling fan is working! does it turn on when the engine gets hot?
4. Make sure your thermostat isn't stuck
5. check your oil to see if there's water in it (blown head gasket---gulp)
You can't really check a water pump unless you take it off and look at it internally.
