hey all... i just picked up a '99 1.8T, auto, AEB that doesnt run and my buddy and i are tearing it apart. its got 158k on it. we are going to have the head rebuilt (valves are bent) and put a new timing belt kit on it.

is there any kind of test i need to run on the turbo to make sure it's working properly?

anything else i should look out for on an A4 with this many miles?

this is a great forum. i appreciate any feedback.

thanks...

 

check for shaft play.
