The last few months have been shitty for the audi.....right before my 400 mile drive home for winter break i go to replace my fogs, and as soon as i finish and turn on the car to check to see if they work, i get a LOVELY high pitched noise....so the secondary air pump assbly. needed replacing, as did some vac. hoses. wonderful...so check engine light is still on after this fix, im in the shop 3 times after the fix, and still no solution. anyway....fast forward 2 weeks, the other fog light goes out (and is still out btw)....so next, i take my car back to school, and 2 weeks later, i need new front pads and rotors, exciting....then...im due for inspection, and mind you the CEL is still on, so i take it to get done, and i needed a valve changed, engine coolant temp. sensor, and oil, and insspection.....so now, 1500 later, my diverter valve is making the most pimpin blow off valve sound ever, so that needs replacing, as does my now slipping clutch, and timing belt should be done in the next 6-7k miles.....whoopee......

but on the flip side...this summer i plan to:
put my s4 wheels back on
chip (still undecided...if anyone has some good arguments for one, go for it)
legal max NY state tint
new DV
vvme HID kit

glad i got that off my chest...

sounds like you need to keep track of your maintence from now on

 

what dv are you going to go with? I am thinking of going with the 710N or 710P.

 

710n

 

Well on the bright side, you shouldnthave any trouble for the near future, your doing alot of the regular maintenace small things that go wrong. Im doing alot of small stuff, but i know that when its all done ill be good for 30k miles. Take the good and the bad instride and as soon as you are done jsut pocket the extra cash

 

How long have you had the car?
Anyway, once these things are done, you'll be set for a long while. Upgrade your clutch since it needs repalced, it wont cost you very much more than a stock.

 

Isn't tint illegal in NY? Could've sworn I read that somewhere.
