So my girlfriend decided that she wanted to keep the A4 I got at auction about a month ago. I just took it to be inspected and turns out there are quite a few things I need to work on before it passes. So here is the list of parts I have on the way...

Tie Rod
Front Wheel Bearing
Rear Wheel Bearing
Outer CV Boot
Rotors
Front Brake Lines
Passenger Fender

So it looks like I'll have a nice project for the next couple weekends. You guys have any tips or problems you have come across when doing any of these?? I'd like to save as much time as possible. At least on the bright side we will be keeping another audi in the family

 

what kind of audi u got for her, how much?... she didnt like your? u know u just missed your chance getting 1.8t manual, that would be a nice car to work on ….

 

The only thing missing is an alinment, but over all should be a weekend or 2.

 

Nice thing about all that work is that its all in one central place, you can bang out the tire rod ends adn the brakes adn rotors all the same time, they arent that hard of a job just need some elbow grease and the right tools of course. If you get some help you could do it on a saturday. Id say start with the Brake lines and work your way forward, IMO.

 

So what "special" tools will i need? I mean I already have everything to do the timing belt, plus a good amount of other tools. Caliper spreader and all that as well. Any wierd extensions or anything??

 

Just a good pry-bar and some lube spray.
