I've looked it up, it's easy as fuck, but you aren't allowed to work on vehicles in the parking lot of where I live, so I'll have to find somewhere to do it at.

Took it to a place that sells used German cars locally that has a shop in the back, just to see about the price of having them do it.
Certified Mercedes mechanic said he wouldn't touch it because "Audi's are complicated and I've never worked on one".

That's when I went home and watched a youtube video and saw how easy it is to do.

What a cuck, that guy.

>>14267922
Just warning you, mack. If you start losing coolant and none of it in on the ground, look in the valley. The coolant after-run pump likes to crack/leak around 100k. On some applications, the replacement pump comes as a part of a relocation kit to get it out from under the intake and into a cooler spot.

They're just as reliable as the VW that is the base of them.

Passats with the 2.7 are reliable? No.

VWs with the 1.9 are reliable? Most of them yes.

>>14270980

Which they are.

And on top of that, they even hardly deserve any title of being something different, which they aren't since under they're nothing more than VWs.

>>14270967
>constant repairs
One or two things a year for a car with over 120k miles qualifies as 'constant repairs'? Do your preventative maintenance and you'll avoid turning your Audi into a lemon. The problem is middle aged women buying/leasing them and treating them like their old NA econobox that didn't need anything more than a yearly oil change and then dumping them into the used market for chumps to buy cheap. Audis from good owners are just as reliable as any other car. Just don't expect to buy it and never pop the hood. If you're car illiterate like 90% of the people on here then yeah, they're probably not for you.

I know this motor well.. if you are getting VC seepage then check the spider hose/breather system and replace it first. It cant breathe and is forcing gasses out the VC and causing your leakage.

The 2.7t is actually a very well built and reliable motor, you just gotta do your maintenance work though.

>>14271168

This is why Audi is shit.

Spending money on an R8. Then along comes a pleb and buys and uses the same parts on his shit A4 has you used on your supposed exclusive car.

>>14271189
You're an ass.

>>14271189

I see that as a plus.

I can take parts straight off of a Golf R and slap them on my Skoda. Or even R8 Parts. Or Porsche parts. I mean did you know the Seat Ibiza used exactly the same Air Con system as a Lamborghini Gallardo? even down to the vents? It's awesome having a huge and varied parts bin.

Interchangeable. It's pretty cheap too to do that. So get Jell faggot.

>>14271168
>>14271147
R8 coils are not compatible with the 2.7t. Best you can do is RS6 coils with adapters from 034 motorsports or keep existing coils/ICM setup.

I know that's how things work. And when we get there, i'll manage. For the meanwhile, I might as well get a few kicks from the idiots that thought they were buying into something exclusive with their Audis not knowing they just got a glorified VW.

People that buy Audi should be mocked, they deserve it.

>>14271386
While I agree somewhat, in that most standard Audi's aren't much more than a Passat in drag. There are though, some pretty special Audi's. For example the Quatro drive-train and the S and RS lines.

>>14266464
i have a b5 a4 2.8 same engine except without turbos basically and valve cover gaskets are easy to change. while youre in there it is good to change all the other gaskets and seals too. half moon seal, cam tensioner gaskets, there are seals in the back of the head too which are easy to do. make sure to torque everything correctly and use grey or black rtv

>>14271406

Nothing special about them. Sorry.

In the end they're still upmarketed parts bin cars.

>>14271265
Can't handle what truth, that you're a moron? Interchangeable parts means cheap parts. Go out and find me another supercar that takes $25 coil packs. The fact that my A4 uses parts that fit both an R8 and a Passat means that as long as I do my own work, which I do, maintaining it is dirt cheap. Only a butt blasted jackass could see that as a negative.

>>14271637

Silly argument.

It just shows that VW, well VW Europe at least, use the same quality components on their top end as they do their low end. Meaning Things like the Skoda Octavia vRS are even more of an absolute modern bargain.

>>14271637

Meaning that the marketed as upper class options are being jewed out to idiots that think they're buying into quality products while they're just buying low variant shit with different clothes.

>>14271750
No? What kind of Audi are you driving that list either of those things as maintenance items? The only thing I can think of along those lines is the B7 A4 requires periodic replacement of the cam follower for the hpfp, but that's a 15 minute $20 job. I guess if you neglect to do that because you're a middle aged woman who knows nothing about your car then that could explode and destroy your camshaft, but you wouldn't do that would you?
