Gentlemen,

Looks like 2.8L will be gone within next 3-months.


Looking at a 1999 A4 1.8T Manual Trans.... Miles 122,000

Dealer wants $7400.00


Any thoughts? I have heard mixed things like. 2.8 Are not realiabe or 1.8 is not realiable. I have heard both are good. Any input would be helpful.

Thanks.

 

C'mon homes, check out the FAQ guide by grouse at top of A4 page.

 

My bad, its the FAQ answer and post page

 

both motors are reliable if you take care of them, the 1.8 will be alot more fun than your old car and all you need to do is spend a little green to make it quick

 

Oil Pump GO?


This car I did Clutch & Flywheel. Is what dealer asking for fair?

 

no but if you dont run syn in the 1.8 you risk the infamous sludge problem happening to you
