love the sig, Leo! All I can say is... "Welcome to Audi!"

 

Lmfao
well i knew what i was getting into, im just not used to the dealing with the stealership and scavenging around for parts, all other cars i've had i havent had problems finding parts at a good price, when i took the b5 for the first time to my buddy who is a mechanic and answers all my questions and advices me all i got in answer was a

But now that ive gone ****... i wouldnt change it for anything

 

Save yourself a lot of money by using ecstuning.com and blauparts.com and doing a lot of wrenching yourself. I haven't tackled a job yet that I wish I had just paid to have done, and I recently did my TB and CA's. Those were pretty big jobs for me, a weekend warrior car guy, but I managed and save myself several hundred bucks overall, so very worth the trouble.

 

Thats what i do man i only have one mech that i trust and even he turned his back on me, but i do everything and anything that needs to be done in all the cars i've had, this is just the first time that im getting info in the forums.

My girl has a Nissan Altima and i also do everything on that POS, never liked the car, but she loves it What can u do right?

But on mine the biggest job i've tackled so far was the headliner!! It has to be done again, but I wont be doing that again... i think i'll stick with the mechanics

 

Set it on fire...


Just sayin!

The forums are a great way to find out info on something you might run into. A lot of things that go wrong with these cars someone else has experienced and can help you out!

Side note- the "leo" in reference to your name? or leo = or leo =

 

Yeah, our B5's are a bit strange to work on sometimes. I like the "service position" where the whole front end comes out. That makes it very easy to do pretty much everything.

However, it seems like VW has a tendency to overcomplicate things. Have you seen how many linkages there are in our front suspension? Also, what's with all of this 12-point star socket nonsense?

A good example of overengineering is the latch mechanism on in the jack access panel in the trunk. They could have just gone with a simple rotating tab dial lock... instead they designed the most complex latch I've ever seen.

Crazy germans..

 

I lol'd

 

lmfao!! i second that!!! (if i wanted to be sleeping with the dogs tonight)

And im actually Aquarius, and i wouldnt be caught dead being a 5.0... not even on hallowing, so yes, its my name Leo .

About the service position, i think its great!! and the over engineering... thats what makes it a German, i find it easier tho work cus its so organized

 

That's ****** histerical...

 

So a lill update is due

I went down to key west yesterday with my dad who's visiting and i gotta say, the car drove great, if a bit sluggish and with a LOT of noise coming from what im almost sure now its turbo, thank the gods of German over engineering

My mayor concern its that it keeps turning of on me when im stopped at a red light i will try to get a vid up today so u guys can judge, as u can imagine i spent the whole wknd getting hammered with my dad so...
