My friend owns the shop he'll hook me up. As for another A4 yes I want a fwd for work because gas is crazy esp with quattro. This ecu came with a k04 and I would like to run it in the quattro if this cel goes away.
Gas is crazy with the Quattro??

I actually chose the A4 because it's gas mileage was better than some others in it's class. (I chose the Quattro because RWD handling has spoiled me)
For instance, the 330i that I'm turning back into the dealership (lease).....I never once changed the MPG display.
For 2yrs, 11 months, and 17 days - it has averaged 16.7 MPG.
I'll be quite disappointed if I can't get better than that with my new Audi. [:@]

Yes. 3.0 Liter Inline 6.
My problem is that:
A. I drove the ever lovin' holy hell out of the car because it's a lease.
B. 99% of the time I drove it in Steptronic mode using the manual automatic. (I'm finding that I don't really do this with the Audi though. In Sport mode, it basically does what I want it to.....)
C. I never made a single effort to improve gas mileage.

NO car that I'm driving will EVER get 28-30MPG......not unless someone got out and pushed every few miles, anyways.
I think I could ruin a PRIUS the way that I drive.

Careful with talk like that - or I'll have to post a pic and make you look foolish in front of our friends.
Why would I throw that statement and that number out there if it weren't true?
I think you said it best when you said, "my DAD gets......."
I'm not your dad, chief. And I sure as hell don't drive like him.
