Surely, not my best. But its ok. No great shakes.

Thanks, I enjoyed the pics.

Yeah thanks for the Photos, great to see what their new setup looks like.

X-post from AZ:

Dont want to make new thread for this just a quick simple question,
Wth is holding the bottom of stock air box i cant see under it?

Nevermind i got it! Lol feel like idiot now it just popped up i was just being catious cuz i hate when little plastic clips and stuff break

I’m about to run my car into a wall.

Lol do tell

Suspension is creaking along with bad tire wear, need to replace control arms, tie rods. Alignment is fucked because of tie rods so my tires are wearing out incredibly bad. Have a coolant leak that I can not find the source of. Vacuum leak that has been fucking me for months with no resolution in sight. Headliner is ripping off the roof. Back of my drivers seat blew out due to lumbar buttfucking itself. Oil temp sensor that I just replaced 3 months ago went back. Oh and also both axles that I replaced last year are already fucked.

Quickest & most economical solution is to wrap it around a tree, buy it back from the insurance comp, part it out, take the 3 thousand dollar check and buy a fucking ruckus.

Wish someone would strap a bomb to this fucking thing.

I’ve had some suspension problems since I got coilovers and lowered it, I feel that pain… Get a vacuum leak test done, how much coolant is it leaking? I lose a few drops here and there. My oil temp sensor keeps erroring too, sounds like we are in a similar boat. Just trying to set some money aside to take it to a really solid shop who can just sort it out all at once and have it running like new.

and RAXLES, I cheaped out on my axles and regret it, I’ve had them replaced a couple times under warranty already. Going to take it back again soon and make them put something better in.

Damn having to work !!!

damn that sucks boys…

Zingo i still cant believe you havent found that vac leak yet…and what happened to going air ride

Me and zingo must be around the same mileage lol… They aren’t huge problems. Just ones I have no time or finances to fix right now. I still drive the car every day

I’m at a touch under 108k meistah,

and lout… $$$

Really would love too but that was when the car was running good, now it’s one thing after another. Which I don’t have the time or money to out into her right now. Hopefully get my promotion here shortly and start dropping some coin back in but right now she has to make me from a to b. as much as I hate to say it…

Every relationship has a rough patch, just have to get thru it =P

o ok, im at about 86, still same boat though lol. Yes it’s a relationship rough patch/speed bump/whatever.

Sorry to hear that bro, but if it helps any just think how the car will be when you get it back up to date on everything. 1 step at a time. I still have quite a few things to do but I’m taking things 1 step a time to get back where I need to be… here are Bently videos that I plan to use for my control arms, the best instructions I’ve found so far and its for the A6 but same setup, uppers and lowers…

Damn… and I thought I was bad with my valve cover gasket, 6 axles, temp gauge not working, seat back broke, armrest latch broke, glovebox hinge broke all within the past 6 months… Oh wait, that does sound kind of bad…

Valve cover gasket to be replaced next week with a complete timing belt job including new snub mount.
Axles are still a pain in the but. Time for raxles. I put it off long enough hoping they would last, but no dice. Cheap aftermarket axles. At least I’m only paying for labor at this point. But still not worth it. I’m thinking there are more contributing factors than just cheap axles. I’m going to have them check all the other mounts (which I’m sure are probably bad… ugh)
I bought S4 Cabrio seats so that solves that issue… except I have to get them perforated and dyed, which means my entire interior is going to be redone.
glovebox i just lock and don’t open.
Armrest lid is a pain tho. Being manual, with the armrest down, it’s kinda in the way of shifting. Not completely, but not always the most comfortable while in traffic and shifting a lot.

oh, and i just crossed 84k. :frowning:

Being manual, with the armrest down. <-- Broken armrest latch.

Get a cheap bag of bungie cords. One just big enough to hold it shut while its in the up position.
