Here's a pic that shows the brightness and color pretty well.

 

Going to put a tow hook on it.

 

Replaced the timing chain tensioner, driver's side inner fender, and tightened down the passenger sway bar end link. Engine still has a terrible rattle though...

 

yeah I replaced my Swaybar endlink a while ago and the clunking went away,.... for a month...

 

PRS tow hooks?

I got a set for sale

Buy my re-greaseable moogs.

 

If they're red, I'd be interested.

 

nah, in a day or two it'll be the dealerships problem

Are they green.

 

Tried to troubleshoot what the squealing noise coming from the engine bay was, 99% sure it's the snout bearing

 

^If they are red also in for sure pm me lol

 

you do know why this happened right

 

yeah, some idiot made an illegal left turn in front of me!


but yeah, there's not enough movement in the smaller bushing

 

the hook was only on the car during install, so they are like new
the mounts have surface rust

looking for $130 shipped for the set



front mount got bent about 1/16-1/32" during the wreck, so i straightened it out.

 

Drove it, hmm nothing exciting. Putting conti DW on the LNF today

 

I'm curious how those tires are on our cars. I'll be up in a few months for some new tires and narrowed it down to those or the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2.

 

drove the @#$@$# out of it!!! ballz to the wallz!

 

Not today, but last Saturday....

Traded it in

Clutch was about to go out and I was offered 8K on trade for it even though I only paid 10k for it almost 2 years ago with 30k+ less miles. I practically robbed the dealership.

New ride:

2008 Audi A4 3.2L with the S-Line package! 19k miles.

 

Nice upgrade!

 

Thanks! I'm going to hate the payments (almost double my Balt), but it still has 36k or 4 years of bumper to bumper warranty left. Only thing not covered is tires and brake pads. So, I think given the maintenance difference it'll even out a little. Gas mileage won't be the same thanks to AWD, but my commute is like 3-5 miles depending on which route I feel like taking, so I'm not overly concerned about that.

 

Nice upgrade indeed! My wife has a 2002 A6 3.0 quattro. In December we just replaced the time belt, serpentine belt, water pump, and thermostat ... $1600 later it runs like a champ.

 

Got the tires filled with nitrogen.

 

How many miles do you guys have on it? I think my engine's probably pretty similar to that one.

 

Shaved the trunk lid this week

143k, that job is supposed to be done around 120k I think, which it should have been because it was leaking coolant slowly, then faster, then finally faster than you could pour it in lol. But it took 20k miles and a year of driving to get that bad. And your engine bay looks exactly like her's, with a couple changes here and there but mostly identical. The shop owner's wife has a 2003 A6 and he said we'll get another 130-150k out of the car with proper maintenance. So we have high hopes for owning the car for a while longer now.

 

bought a new trunk got it painted and went wingless
