Howdy Everyone. Just today I picked up a 00 1.8t A4 Quattro. It is going to need some work, so I guess Ill use this thread as a "build thread". Bought it from a guy who was driving and the t-belt slipped some teeth(old belt). I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst. It isn't too sludged up (Pulled the valve cover off and checked for signs).

I actually made the transaction in the parking-lot of a reputable shop in my town that inspected it to begin with and they said valves were bent but no damage to the pistons.

I plan on digging into it once its home and Ill go from there. Expect photos soon

 

Heres of quick picture of the ol gal.

 

how much did you pay knowing it had bent valves?

 

750 bucks. Has a clean body, so I thought it would be worth it. I should come out ahead either way.

 

Well, car is at its new destination. I can't wait to tear into it.

For now, heres a quick snapshot from lastnight.

 

Lol? If you take a car to the scrap yard isnt I worth more than 750?

 

No way. You would get like 400 bucks tops.

 

You got a great deal. Having just fixed mine, it'll be about 800-900 bucks to fix properly.

Hint, have a machine shop do the valves...quicker and less of a headache.

 

Either way, seems cheap, my first Audi looked identical

 

Looks like a good buy. Hows the interior?

What are your plans for it?
