Damn, that acutally seems like a deal, it could've been worse and considering that the price of a TB change at the dealer or a nice new clutch, I think you got away easy. But wait, that not including labor, maybe not.

[Pothole]

WOW hope your good with a wrench, good luck on the instal

[infernocl]

at how many miles?

[BryMFL]

at how many miles?

100K miles

WOW hope your good with a wrench, good luck on the instal

Well I'm the one who broke it all down and the head is being put together bya local machine shop and I'm doing the install. All the rest of the things are just bolt on

Did you buy an AEB head, cause for the money your spending you might as well have and just built that.

[got boost.]

wait.. did you change your timing belt at 60k like your supposed to? if not then you should have like the manual said.

[A4natomical]

nice!

i just ordered up a bunch of little replacement parts like gaskets, o-rings, seals, etc to put my engine and head all back together. fun stuff.

[GO-GOTEKNO]

At least your car will be running for under $2k ..goodluck with all of this

My Christmas gift this year was a new heater core, thermostat housing, oil change and coolant flush, and 4 new tires mounted and balanced.. This is what replaced the toys when we were all kids!

Ill save you 6 bucks, you dont need the SAI pump resistor

Sure did actually I did it a 80K and the tensioner pulley mysteriously went bad after taking the car to Audi for an alignment and them saying I needed to fix it or it would go bad. I think its kinda fishy considering I had drivin 18Kmiles on it before the dealership trip and it was fine....who knows?!?!?!?

ummmmmm......thanks! I don't know if anyone has ever told you this but you're my hero!!!!
