I've had our '98 Quattro for 10 years now and it was time to trade her in. After 15 years she decided to constantly leak oil even after seal replacements and just recently sounding rough as if the oil check valves needed replacement. The differential began leaking as well, on top of the constant CEL and Airbag lights......it was time to let her go. Despite those issues and the fact it was labor expensive just to change out a thermostat or waterpump, she served us well.

Her place in the garage is now occupied by a 2010 Mercedes ML350.

Thanks to all those here for the years of advice and help. Perhaps one day I'll buy Audi again...who knows.

Farewell Forum Friends.
