What about things like tie rods and control arms you may want to check those out.

 

oil, tranny+dif


what's dif?


How much do all these flushes typically take? With my new waterpump/radiator last year i got my coolant flushed out. I am guessing that doesn't need to be done again?

How long of a job do you think it would be to hire someone to toss in new plugs and wires (I don't have the tools nor the mechanical sense to do it)


**Also, forgot to ask. I guess the 98 Audis are notorious for loosing their lower side trim. I am missing my drivers side and my back right trim under the door. Where can I get this? (and i've looked everywhere!)

 

I should have stated that. I've had both tie rods done within a year. Also, every ball joint replaced within a year too. Pisses me off how many balljoints started going at once!

 

You can get the trim pieces at www.ecstuning.com - they're around $30 each (I bought two last year). Do the plugs, all fluids and filters (dif = differential). Do a seafoam treatment (all three parts - oil, vacuum, and fuel), and maybe a fuel filter too. You should see some nice improvement from that stuff.

 

thanks

 

I found them, they aren't 30 bucks. And they are all grey.

 

Looks like the price went up since I bought them. It happens. And all B5s have the same color lower trims, so the ones on the site will work fine on your car. They look gray in the pics. The ones you receive are the same color as the ones currently on your car.
