Default Today is rescue day. I'm off to the shop to...

...try to undo 5 years of neglect on my friend's 98 A6 Avant. Timing belt service, check all fluids and change where necessary, clean EGR, diagnose a handful of CEL codes. Big fun. :-(

Default Update: it could be worse.

Timing belt is done, including seals, w-pump, yada, yada. EGR is re-bored. Plugs look like hell, news ones will be ordered Monday along with some filters. One CV boots is cracked but not split, same side tie rod end has some slop in it. Coolant tank cracked. Needs a few vacuum lines. ECU was borrowed out of an A4 and needs to be recoded for the A6.

No leaks, brakes are in good shape, including rubber lines. Shocks and suspension look good to.

Couple o' nights this week should finish it up.
