Default 98 Audi a4 1.8 t quattro needs work but at what cost?

needs cv joint, battery, and clutch + flywheel probably. might need timing belt and water pump. how much will it cost for all this work to be done with parts and labor?

At LEAST. If you try to go to a dealer it'll prolly be double that

you can get all parts off ebay for $570. i have done all of this myself but idk what skills or tools you have. the timing belt isnt hard just tedious and the clutch you'll need to drop the trans for so a lift is nice. if you cant do these things yourself honestly id find a a4/s4 that has had the work done already for 4-5k and sell yours
