I've owned a B5 A4 more or less since 1998. First up was a 1998 2.8; I traded that in on a 2001 S4 Avant when the synchros started acting up. The S4 is still fine. I then bought my son a 1997 A4 1.8T. What a mistake that 97 turned out to be.

Long story short, I've sunk at least twice the original purchase price into the vehicle on after-market parts, routine maintenance, and some non-routine maintenance. Maybe 90 days ago it was wheel bearings, brakes, an o2 sensor, and a new turbo.

Finally, earlier this week, the timing belt tensioner froze while I was driving his car to work, effectively putting the car out of it's and my misery.

Going to buy a used Integra this weekend.

Yeah, these cars can be frustrating. I'm still stuck on mine, though. No way to recover that $...
 

So I may as well enjoy it.

Can I have your UID? ;)

Good luck!

"Frustrating." That's a nice way of putting it.
 

Every time I start it up it's like, "what's next?"

I still use it every so often on the S4 and Mid-Atlanic forum...
 

this site is invaluable.

Don't mean to be a vulture, but are you parting out? Don't happen to have any Ecodes, do ya?
 

Sorry... Have to ask... :P

he's a noob
 

UID must be under 50 :)

Sorry, no ecodes. Probably donate to charity?

Ah, I see... You mentioned 'aftermarket parts' and was curious. Good luck w/all that stuff...
