So I just recently purchased an 01' allroad, with 60,000 miles. I've always wanted one, and finally decided to get it. Unfortunely, the one I got was a lemon. First week, walked up to the car and the emergency flashers were flashing without my input. Next, I couldn't even use the heater because a strong oil smell would penetrate the cabin (leaking valve cover gaskets). Then, driving to the dealer, my fan blade disintegraded and blew through my radiator. That is only going to be 1700$ to replace, so i'm pretty excited about that bill.... I'm wondering if I should just dump the car and get another one.

 

Take it to an indy.It'll be cheaper to fix

 

Should of had the V8

 

I'd dump it. My guess is the turbos or compressor will go next. Neither of them is cheap.

 

Wow, sorry to hear about that one. You'll need to change the timing belt and all those goodies that go with it as well. It really depends on your purchase price whether or not you keep her.
