Default Introduction

Hey, I'm new to this forum, been asking a few questions, figured it's probably time to actually introduce myself.

This is the reason I'm here: Just picked up a '98 A4 quattro Avant 2.8, manual on October 10. 154k on the clock, runs like it was made yesterday. Exterior has a few scrapes and dents, but the inside is flawless. Just did the timing belt and everything else seems to be in good order, so hopefully she'll be set for many years of good service.

And here's a picture with her older, yet less responsible sibling:

The Coupe has been my all-around vehicle, serving as both track car and daily driver. Now it will be exclusively a track car and weekend toy, while the A4 will take over everyday duties.

I'm a 5-cylinder nut myself, but I have to say the B5 is a nice design and the torque of the 30V is nice.

Will need to update my signature, it's out of date even without the new car.

Anyway, hopefully I can both give and receive aid here.

-Dave

Default I'll find out Wednesday. Sent the module to a rebuilder, it's been fixed and is being shipped back..

hopefully that's all it is, but could be dead sensors or something else as well.
