So iam coming home for christmas and probably staying there for a couple months. My old A4 is siting there in the back barn at my home. I was wondering if i could get some opinions on what to do to get it ready. From want iam told it is pretty damn cold out (aka vermont) and it hasn't been started sense i left 9 months ago. I did an oil change before i left and disconnected the battery. What should I do Sense it has been siting for so so long. OH and also this is my 98 a4 2.8qm my winter car
iam really hoping that no animals got in there

 

buy a bullet, and rent a gun?

 

drain the gas then fill it with a mixture of 93 and seafoam. let it idle for a bit. check your tires, you'll probably feel crazy vibrations since the tires and been in one position or so long but take it easy and it'll go away. might want to spray some good smelling stuff in the interior if you have animals in your barn i hope you get a frog in your vent like one dude did a while ago hehe, it was hella funny.

 

Mmmm. Mouse pee.

Evict the creatures residing in your airbox (replace the air filter)
Pump up the tires
Pump the brakes and clutch and look for leaks
Siphon out the gas and put some new stuff in there
Replace the oil (it likely accumulated water)
Turn the engine over by hand (make sure a mouse didn't eat your T.B.)
Plug in the battery (it will likely still need to be charged up)
Let it idle until warm
Pump the brakes and clutch again to check for leaks
Test drive it with care and inspect the car for issues

 

thanks guys i will get her running i had my father look around for mice and he said he didnt see any haha thank god for the barn cats

 

Wow. Sounds like you have a serious problem. We are all worried about barn mice and you have friggen barn cats!? They must have destroyed the place! Better set some traps!

 

no no Barn cats are a good thing if your grew up on a farm you would understand that. They eat the mice and keep the barns clean hahahahah
