I'm and industrial AC mechanic and I traded my brother in law plumbing and electrical work for his sons old Audi. I needed a new project and the car has been great for that.

Pick and Pull, EBay and my friends are all glad I got this car. Audi forums has been a fantastic source of knowledge, assistance and humility in my repair and enjoyment of this car.

I've replaced the following at our storage unit parking lot over the past 4 months:
Thermostat (new), rear block cooling manifold (new), AC compressor (PicknPull), AC condenser (PicknPull), AC accumulator (new), AC metering orifice (new), AC O-rings (new), AC refrigerant (new), Passenger axel/cv combo (new),Passenger wheel bearing housing/bearing (PicknPull), all sorts of misc. missing and broken parts (PicknPull).

Currently I'm getting a set of locking wheel lug removal sockets to get 4 mint wheels with new tires from PicknPull for $150.

One of the added benefits of PicknPull is you can practice your repair skills all afternoon for $2.00 and walk away not having to pay for any parts you may have destroyed in the educational process.

Looking forward to more adventures in foreign auto repair.

You have to pay just to enter your junkyard? Weird. Only $2.00 but I've never heard of having to pay to just walk in. Thats kinda on like saying I have to pay if I walk into Walmart.

 

• I really like it, I just bought it and though I got it real cheap, it runs great.
• Not even a whole day
• I decided to buy one because not only did it appeal to me the most out of what my price range allowed, but because it drove the best of all the cars I test drove.
• Jetta MK4, Golf MK4, and a Civic

I got a 1997 Audi A4 Quattro 2.8 V6 with a manual transmission

 

Do you like your new audi? yes but dont drive it for much

How long have you owned it? since end of november but get it store for the winter , just get it plate first day of may

Why did you decide to buy one? always like those model and i finaly find a deal

Was there another vehicle you were thinking about before you bought the audi? no , it's a toy for me , already have a car for the day to day travel (corolla 1999)


it's a 2001 2.8l , manuel ,black , int leather beige with 184 000 km (114k milles), suspenssion eibach/bielstein + swaybar , i hade the deal for 1000$ but i have to put 2000 to 3000$ in repair and maintenance , and its just in parts because i do the work my self , but in the end i will have a car in the range of the price they are sold here and i will know what i have do on the car.

 

Although I went from a Honda civic to an Audi, I have driven many other cars. As far as overall cad, I love it! My downsides are much to easy to live with. Not having automatic headlights is a little odd and the heated headlight jets always being broken on every model I've seen from the B5 series is fairly annoying and depreciate s the appearance of my vehicle, I can live with these problems. The 1.8T motor many have slugging issues in other cars but I haven't experienced any problems Sith that. Otherwise, the motor is bullet proof. I replaced my timing chain tensioner, all the drive belts (including timing belt) and a few small hoses. Aside from the very small issues , this car has been an amazing pleasure to own. The luxury is through the roof, the modification abilities are great, and the Quattro system being all mechanical still is rock solid. The body style is a little homely on the front but the other all body style is fierce, at least when lowered. Either way, this car has been a treat to own, even for such a small time. Can't wait to run it up and past200000 miles!

I picked up a '97 a4 quattro about a year ago, it runs great and the body is solid. It was single-owned and taken good care of, has about 160k. I bought it because I totaled my truck, and it was within my budget. It has start up issues, but hopefully I can get some help on this site!
