First I'll give a brief explanation of the accident. I was in my sister's '02 3.0 Quattro. I was driving too fast through a neighborhood I don't know well in the rain and dark. A dead end snuck up on me and I had to turn left or right and I pretty much went straight into the yard infront of me. I hit the curb pretty hard and then ran up on a tree stump (thank god it wasn't an actual tree!). I panicked and decided I needed to get out of their yard and try to get home. I made it to the end of that neighborhood and had to shut the car down. I lost all my oil and coolant. Fortunately, as you'll see, the body damage isn't too significant, mostly jsut the front bumper. But their are a couple broken pieces underneath. I was hoping you guys could take a look at these and lemme know what you think. Looks like the radiator is slightly bent at the bottom right. I think the oil filter was punctured. And then the silver part behind the oil filter is cracked in two places [:@] Thanks

Oh yeah, the fog light is obviously screwed also.

 

Sorry, one last thing. The coolant light and the washer fluid lights are coming on, but not the oil pressure light. When I check the oil though it appears bone dry.

 

ouch ..

 

**** man... take it to an Audi/VW mech to see whats wrong... then do the work yourself if you can.

Yeah, I really don't want to take it to a dealership and get overcharged. Also, I only want to have to take it on a one-way trip because I'll have to tow it anywhere I go until it is fixed.

 

wow your lucky everyone is okay.. and nobody got hurt

 

I know its too late for this but you gotta take it easy in neighborhood streets, when I was younger I would do reckless **** like that but you gotta learn to know where and when to go all out.

 

if you dont feel like bending over and getting *** raped by the dealership then just try and find a audi/vw specialist in your area, have him take a took at it and give you an estimate. if its gonna be more than you can afford then just have insurence take care of it.

since it was your sisters car and i dont know if you are insured under it, you might have to tell the insurence company that your sister was the one driving. that wont be hard unless the cops took an accident report.

 

Yeah, it was really stupid. I had my friend in the seat next to me eggin' me on too. Any idea what that broken silver part is and how expensive it is? Am I right about the oil filter? Thanks.
