Lol come on up - timing belts are second nature in my town. We average about 10 a year it seems. Maybe more.

 

It's crazy that you have that many Audi's up there in order to average about 10 a year... Too bad I'm not up at Ft. Drum anymore, I could have made it to a few meets by now...

 

hahaa......when you said "come on up", I was like sweet he's in northern NY, I could shoot right over.....but noooo, man you're basically in PA!

 

I'd say it's worth the drive... What's the going rate for your crew to do a TB, Jeremy? Is it up to a full case of beer, or just a 12 pack?

Wryfly, if you can turn some wrenches, the job isn't that bad... If not, a quick weekend trip to make some new friends and learn a little something isn't a bad idea... beats the hell out of spending a grand at a shop...

 

Lol let's say that our going rate cuts the legs out from under a shop for sure. OP by all means if you're more inclined to have it done than tackle it yourself, shoot me a PM and we can discuss.

 

OP where do you live? And Brad, yeah your timing with base assignment sucks. You could've been hanging with us all this time. Gotta get you out here sometime with or without your car.

 

hey there Devil.......I'm in central Vermont and i just got my A4 back from a guy that put in the master cylinder. I wanted to go tool around in the blizzard happening, but hung out with him for a bit. He wanted to kick me in the *** for buying this car for 1500.

here's the quick run down of needs....
-calipers and rotors all around with new break lines - the crap he pushed outta the lines when he bled it was apparently pretty nasty.
-two control arms
-already did tie rod ends
-sway bar link
-vac leaks
-MAF
-ABS modual
-I had a code for an O2 sensor, but maybe the vac leaks have something to do with that.
-drivers side mirror
-door lock motor thing
-did I mention timing belt

....so should i try to break it down and get through this list
OR
....off to auction

good times good times....

 

Fix it. Just sayin' - that's what I'd do

 

lol I need that done too ^_^

 

I'm really leaning that way too. I've only had the car for 3 weeks, i've only put 210 miles on it and I already love the car. Figure I'll only like it more once everything is running the way it should.

you coming to vt anytime soon devil?? hahaa

there must be some VT techs on the boards....
