A8CT

He was on the way to my house and couldn't make it so I wound up doing in the parking lot of a restuarant.

He's just about 100k now. I'm an A8 guy and never heard of one of these going on the 8's. Once I did a search here it seems like a real common problem.

Timing belt/WP aside (done), are there any other sensors/issues that would leave him stranded? He had an issue with a coilpack a couple of months ago so I changed all 4 for him. Anything else you guys are changing proactively?

thanks,
Bob

thanks- will that leave you stranded or just a hard start? He's been stuck 2x in 3 mos!

hard start occaisionally for me-worse for others-cheap,easy,so its easy to strike off the list.
