    Jess wanted to say yo!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys, I'm new to the Audi scene. I'm from Hilo, but I live on Oahu now (East side).

    I bought a used 2000 A6 2.8 a few weeks ago and after driving it for a couple of days, the timing belt idler took a crap on my throwing off both cams, but luckily not enough to do any valve damage.

    I ordered the complete kit from ESCtuning, changed everything and now she's good to go!

    I really like this car!! I'm gonna leave her stock for a little while, then maybe next year I'll start to add things here and there.

    Any-hoo, just wanted to introduce myself.

    BTW if anyone needs to borrow the crank locking pin and the cam tool for a timing belt job, just let me know!!!

    Welcome Jess, we have another member here named Jesse. Glad you could join us my name is Kurt I have a 2.8 A4. What part of the east side do you live? My parents live in Kaimuki and I live on Punahou. Sorry to hear about your mishap lucky it didn't do too much damage. Well just to let you know we don't have that many gtg cause we all work different schedules. But we do have some from time to time. In fact I might be planning one soon cause we seem to have a lot of new peeps on here. Just keep checking the boards for any updates and info. Hope to meet you soon.

    Cya,

In fact one of the guys at my work place has one and told me any time I wanted to Vag my car just let him know. I take it you work on your car alot?

    Ahh well I think I'm going to order one anyway, let me know if you need a hook up! Well I've gone through about 10 diferent cars the past 6-7 years. I like to work on them, but I try to stay out of the engine internals unless I absolutly need to. More bolt on stuff. I used to body work and paint in Hilo, but My neighbors here would flip if I painted a car in my garage in Honolulu!!

    Nah man, no offense taken. It's slow over there in Hilo, easy to get into trouble! Yea, I lived right below you, at the Kawailani/Ainaola Drive fork. There was a WikiWiki mart and a video store there before, not sure if it goes by the same name now.

    What's up welcome to AZ. I think your first mod should be coilovers or air ride suspension.
