damn all the pics stopped showing up at work now[:@].

but back to you..... $4k??? ask him if he is on drugs? what kind of car do you have? and have his explain how quattro is "messed" up thats as general as saying your engine is messed up

 

Was trying to find that post, but couldnt... But since this is sorta related, let me ask here. Can your quattro be fu*ked up by have one different tread tire than the other 3? One of the front tires blew up so that was replaced. The tread is kinda similar but not exact. This is just a athought that came into my mind when i read the post which had this pic earlier during week.

As for original poster, wheneveri am at a dealership i always ask for quote before i tell them to get the work done. Once the guy said your cabin and air filter needs to be changed as they are dirty, and i loooked at him like WTF, cause i had them replaced a few months ago lol... I guess i said that without even looking at them. Sometimes they just want the easy money...

did he actually take you to the car and say see that dripping oil or see that crack on the rear diff. if not how do you know hes telling the truth or not.

 

d3m0nz3y3, as long as all 4 tires are the same size, tread pattern shouldn't matter. If you're running directional tires in reverse, you'll wear your tires down much faster. Another way to f*ck up your quattro would be to run a staggerred setup (ie. different-sized tires in the front & back).

Ahhh good... the tire size is the same, just a little different tread.
Thanks for your help veloracer.

That picture of the car being towed is win sauce.

 

I don't know about you, but I'm not made of money. Anyone ever quoted me a $4000 job, you can bet your *** I'd be going somewhere else for another opinion
