Just got the car out of Audi service. I new I had some kind of oil leak, but didn't know how bad.

Needs Valve Cover Gaskets and cam seals---$614
Needs both rear diff seals--$686
Wsaher fluid pump, upper--$416

Not a DIYer per se, but these sound like decent size jobs...Any thoughts, suggestions etc???

 

Valve cover gaskets are easy, definitely a DIY. Cam seals are a bit more tricky but definitely still doable. The washer fluid pump is absolutely a DIY, especially with a $416 estimate. Never done the rear diff seals or heard of them being bad, for that matter.

 

Thanks for your quick reply. Is there a site I should go to to order the parts? And isn;t there a DIY website as well?

 

We have a diy section on the forums. Also audidiy.com is really good. I agree with what cca4 thats all diy-able not sure about the read dif either haven't done one.

 

I think they are referring to the axle seals on the rear diff. They usually leak so slowly it just makes more sense to top off the fluid every couple of years.

 

I order stuff from ecstuning.com and I have had nothing but great experiences.
