Really not impressed. I mean $1,100 on a service, and the oil dropped 4 litres within 1,000 km....

The worst part, is I'm even more afraid to check anything incase I break a clip!

Them feels, I've heard Audi's aren't very easy to work on yourself.

I have an E36 daily which is quite doable (if you follow the procedures) to work on, but some the ways they designed it I could see how other European cars could be a total nightmare!

It looks like a nice car! What's the interior like?

As a driver of a naturally aspirated car, I sorta do.

I'm slightly intrigued..

At the same time I am scared.

so a friend had a 1.8T that shat its seals. apparently you cant rebuild them and it cost $3000.

of course id be looking at importing a replacement from ATP turbo before buying an OEM one.

Really? That'd be a K03 turbo? $3k for that? He didn't get ripped on it did he?

i think the turbo hot side is part of the manifold??? dunno. just remember the price. unfortunatly it happened about 2 weeks before xmas so he couldnt shop around,, just had to get it on the road again.

I think you're the only one on this forum with that Audi and personally I think you should leave it stock

Unless you're talking about an mx5 (don't you need an mx before you start creating mods? )

LOL I'm defs leaving the audi stock.

Talking MX5. Considering this is a MX5 forum
