Mechanic's special = moneypit. Run, don't walk from old Audi's.

no no, the quote disappeared...that was @Affinity saying he had issues LOL. mines ok...for now. i was asking what model he had hahaAgain? Dude, you'd have fewer transportation problems with a horse.
i feel your pain! i LOVEEEE my Q7, but i had a water leak at the antenna 2yr back. its caused a host of electrical issues that make me want to pull my hair out. i "think" i finally got them all resolved. now its back in service pulling around my sxs...and hopefully a new 2021 sport machine soon too!I bought an 04 A8L as a mechanics special , it was left abandoned in the middle of an intersection, then purchased at an auction. I put so much work into this car, its an amazing car. I replaced the whole front fender, bumper.. painted them.. valve cover gasket. I had it purring, I was using it for deliveries and then one day, the heat went cold and it started overheating.. Stuck thermostat.. only problem is the thermostat on this engine is behind the timing belt, so you have to take off the bumper, radiators, cooling fans, and timing belt.. I got the thermostat in, but the tensioner apparently came loose and the timing belt jumped a few teeth when I started it, I havent dug in further.
Time to find that intersection and do what the last guy did.I bought an 04 A8L as a mechanics special , it was left abandoned in the middle of an intersection, then purchased at an auction.

how many freedom eagles is that?Try replacing a door latch at -10c
My friend bought a used A4. I asked if the timing belt had been changed and he replied: "this is a premium vehicle in pristine condition, it needs nothing". The following week the timing belt snapped and sent the pistons into the valve train. He claimed I jinxed him.Mechanic's special = moneypit. Run, don't walk from old Audi's.
