I have been gone for FAR too long. Just in the past month I've installed a new clutch on my 2.8 V6. Wasn't as terrible as some of the horror stories I've been reading here, (audi forums in general) Um... factory exhaust off an '01 S4. Was about to REINSTALL my HID kit after receiving my new bulbs in the mail, but found that I had a junk ballast. Uh... oh yeah I found a diamond in the rough for OEM parts online. Phenomenal.

 

picked up a set of s4 tails for my prefacelift a4.

 

Nice, I really need to get a set myself.

Replaced some black vacuum line with some higher quality blue stuff, fixed my underdash LED lights, removed and straightened my steering wheel (now it's slightly less crooked, but in the opposite direction .)

Waxed it, drove it, admired it.
















































Admired myself.

 

just finished up the tie rod end on the pass side of the audi, tomorrow re-wire the angel eyes headlights and clean sunroof drains. The storm left a nice 3" deep puddle on the rear pass floor.

 

Changed my valve cover gasket today

 

How'd it go?

 

Piece of cake compared to the heater core I did last month lol but for a 200K engine it looks super clean maybe I'll put pics up later or do a write up all I had to do was the passenger side tho o and it's a 2.8 if anyone was wondering

 

Finished driving to work after finding that the serpentine tensioner has failed. It's a joy to drive without power steering...

 

wished it was an S4...

nothing happened

 

Is it normal for the TIP to get fat during a boost leak test?

I've been having a boost leak at higher pressure. I went to do a boost leak test and and TIP kept getting fat between 15-20psi. It looked like it wanted to blow up.

Any insight?
