Hey everyone, brand new to the forum! I dont own an audi yet! but i've got a neighbour that has a 2001 audi 1.8T automatic with a tiptronic transmission ( i think thats what audi calls it?) with a completely screwed engine. I guess those engines have problems with engine slude that plug up the oil pick up? Well, anyway he took it to the family mechanic that i guess was just a complete idiot.. He ripped it apart and kind of just left it outside for about a year.. While my neighbour was trying to get ahold if him, the mechanic would tell him he has cancer and whattnot.. Just an idiot! So after they got it to audi- audi would not deem it warranty because of the way that it had been stored! So as it sits in my neighbours driveway it is silver AWD with 76,000KM on it- no head on the engine- pistons sittin in the breeze. Everything corroded to hell. My question? What is it worth? I am a heavy duty mechanic.. I can rebuild the engine- Or replace it with a new one. Is it worth it? If anyone chimes in, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks alot!
Evan
