Default RE: Looking for some advice

The ABS has not worked for months, makes for real interesting driving in the winter As for the oil pan issue.... i am starting to doubt the severity of the leak, i often park on snow covered ground and would definitely have noticed any serious leakage. The pure motorsports site isn't working for me either.

Well i just got done talking to a guy that was recommended to me by a friend, who has a lot of experience with audi's and here is what he said. He claims the best thing to do would be to buy the full kit, but only to pay for having the side that is currently broken installed, then keep the rest of the parts for when the others break. The shop quoted me high prices for the parts, which is no big deal as im going to get them all online anyway, but the labor they quoted me for was reasonable.

90 for the control arm replacement
150 for the wheel bearing
40 for engine cleaning (to determine the source of that oil leak, turns out it was not the pan gasket)

(edit)
Ive ordered all the stuff from purems, their site is back up and working and their prices are cheaper

Also thank you very much to jiggleo and UpstateNYA4 for your very generous offers to help me out [sm=smiley20.gif]

Those prices may very will change when you bring in your own parts. Its usually 60hr shop parts, 90hr customer parts. Depending on where you go it could be different.
