im at 77k.. i do mobil 0 40w with large m-301 filter every 5k... i have no sludge, fuel filter and air filter stays fresh... i did replace the fuel pump around 60k (only problem ive had)

people get lemons in every brand from BMW, benz audi, chevy, kia... all of them... you can go online and find a complaint for every single company in the world but they wouldnt be in business if they build lemons regularly..

oh and the owner of CPP stopped making his adjustable control arms(plus they needed contant greasing and made noises and were $750 for the stainless ones) .. kmac is the only answer and i have yet to run into someone that has them with anything good to say about them... (i would still try them if i could find a shop that knew how to put them in and adjust them)

a moderate drop shouldnt kill your camber though..

1.8T engines can get a 6 speed as an option, standard on the ultrasport models.
I almost bought a 3.0L A4 ultrasport, but after doing 20 sets of cat converters on them, it kinda went sour for me. Especially since the cats cost $1,000 a pop.

1.8T engines develop sludge, but you only have to change a $20 oil pick up tube to fix it, and if you use seafoam it shouldn't be a problem.
How much does it cost to get the dealership to replace the Pick up tube to prevent oil sludge?

I know him (ordered a lot from him) and he will still make you a set with the rubber boots too. I want them more for the longlife then the camber adjustment. I would at least get the Tie rod ends first too. There is a guy too Dick Shine that makes a great product (better then K-mac) that you press in and its cheaper then the K-mac too.

I bet you anything thats because you take care of the car...most don't. They cars need what they call for and thats it...anything else and your paying $$$$later down the road. IMO anyway plus the pump is an easy 45 min job too and they had a recall on them for 2003 models. If the dealer didn't do it.....Ask for a claim card and show proof and they should cut you a check.

LOL...did you import the block or have someone bore it out for you? I also don't really want to go to crazy...its still a sedan mind you. I would be happy to have an APR 91 program and be happy. When the turbo goes....then its play time
