Thanks...

Man, I have three BMW e30s' and thought they were maintenance pits...

I simply got juked by the PO...not the first time and surely not the last.

I guess I'll be an Audi expert in no time...just wish it wasn't the accelerated program.

If I didn't do all of the maintenance myself, I'd drive this thing off a cliff and be done with it.

 

^^^^

again welcome to the club

go to audiworld.com and check the tech articles (under resources). lots of good DIY stuff there. might be one for the clutch

 

Thanks again...will do.

 

The big chunks picture look like something I found on the floor of my fraternity bedroom after a grain party. I disavow all knowledge of who did it.

On the other hand, with 120k miles and a different foot, it does not surprise me that the clutch went. Once you are through this pain, we'll keep our fingers crossed that the turbos are good.

PS-I read the A4 forum because I bought my daughter a 2003 A4 3.0 MT6 three years ago. So far so good, other than replacing the cats under warranty. But only owned from 69-91k miles.

 

All I can do is laugh at this point...

 

I'm no transmissionary expert, but I think I see the problem

sometimes you just gotta laugh because the alternative is.....

good luck

 

oof!

Well, just think of the the new clutch as an early Christmas present.

 

LOL..the "present" is gonna be me not having to work on it for a week...

Good news is it has made it 100 miles without something going wrong since Sunday...WHOOT!

Honestly, the clutch R&R wasn't too bad considering I did it with the car on 16" stands and had no help...other than my trusty floor jack.

Next will be Konis' and springs. I believe the original owner was a cone packer who removed the aftermarket suspension and replaced it with stock springs and dampers, leaving only the GIANT H Sport sways. Giant sways and crappy dampers make for an interesting ride

 

Remember the big chunks in the pick up screen?

...I just bought a new dipstic and look what I see...

 

Oh man that didn't even come to mind when i saw the original pic. ouch
