Lol! **** happens!

 

Put the new Borla exhaust on and back right wheel bearing.

 

Just wondering... when did you buy that exhaust?

 

you know, I was thinking exactly the same thing, for exactly the same reasons. Hey Chris, do you get the hint?

Don,
sucks about your trans

 

LOL I hate you guys.

 

Going to just try and sell it. If not find a trans cheap

 

Timing belt kit from FCPGroton,came with water pump,t-state,tentioner damper,seal,cam shaft seal,serpentine belt.

Both rear wheel barings ( one didn't fit and was destroyed,when pressing it out,told him to get one for Autozone,cost 90.00 ) one from autozone fit.

I called FCPGroton and they gave me no hassle and sent me a RMA to send in the damaged rear wheel baring for a refund,its in 3 separate pieces,hope they don't freak out and refuse to refund me,based on the condition.

Replaced Rear and front shocks with sacks brand socks

He said the cabin and engine air filters were not dirty,so he left them be

All Vacuum lines replaced with silicone.....

Replaced the whole front suspention with a complete Control arm kit with sway bar from FCPGroton,(when driving Audina back,i felt the difference in the ride,right away. I turn the wheel slightly and the car reacts more quickly.

All fluids flushed and replaced:
G12 coolant fluid
Power steering fluid
Rear differential fluid
oil change with mobile 1 synthetic with large oil filter

Does the Center differential,share gear oil,from the rear differential,just like the transmission and front differential,shares ATF?

Valve cover gasket done(drove it for 20 min,i stopped at a gas station for gas and noticed that there was still smoke,coming from the headlights as it did before,

I told this to my mechanic and he said,there was oil spilt all over and it just burning off the manifold and to not worry,its just going to burn off and stop smoking) is this true?

NGK Spark plugs replaced

Camshaft seals replaced and applied RVT to keep the seals from leaking

Changed all brakes and rotors all brand new,courtesy of auto zone,being i have a life time warranty on the brakes and 2 years on the rotors,free of charge,when you provide them the core parts.

when i got in the car in front of my mechanic's house,i put the key in the ignition and turned,i noticed the ABS was lit,the car was running and not with just the key in the ignition,where the ABS,battery and brake light,stays lit.

I asked my mechanic and he said it was because he bleed all the breaks and flushed the old brake fluid,so it was normal for the ABS to triggered,being it had to adapt again with the new brake fluid.

He said to simply clear the code with my vag-com.

I did and it went away,is that normal for this to happen?

I think that's it,dropping off Audina to another friend on Saturday to a auto-body guy.

I am having my front and rear bumper cover,painted. The front bumper cover,needs to be repaired too and I'm having him install a brand new bumper lip/valance.

Painting my side of my rear bumper,i was back parking and scratched up against a concrete,pillar at work a couple months ago. Painting the hood,scratch on the trunk,scratch on the top of the car.

Couple other minor scratches to be buffed or sanded and painted.

For this up coming summer,Audina can finally say"Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my closeup"...........

Does the Center differential,share gear oil,from the rear differential,just like the transmission and front differential,shares ATF? - when you change the tranny oil the center diff gets its share,in the manual at least I'm guessing you have an auto?

Valve cover gasket done(drove it for 20 min,i stopped at a gas station for gas and noticed that there was still smoke,coming from the headlights as it did before,

I told this to my mechanic and he said,there was oil spilt all over and it just burning off the manifold and to not worry,its just going to burn off and stop smoking) is this true? - oil should burn off if its on the manifold then stop, this was the case after i did both my vc gaskets it smoked for a few hours then hasn't since



I did and it went away,is that normal for this to happen? it sounds plausible, but if the codes went away then good riddance?

The ABS was just cleared last night,it doesn't take a certain amount of miles,before i can see if the ABS code,comes back,if there is a issue?

I'll keep a close eye on the smoke,coming from my headlights for a couple days.

 

3/28/12 I bought the exhaust. Why?
