Default smoking

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/58025/dsc00386.jpg"></center><p>I bought the car with 70K; at 75K the girl started smoking! I knew I had an issue because I'd had to keep feeding her oil. Apparently it was a big issue, I had oil leaking all over the place. All the values and gaskets had to be replaced and oil was in the clutch compartment. That would explain the occasional vibration I felt upon accelerating and shifting into 2nd or 3rd. Finally, The heads had to be sent out and refurbished. Anyway I thought you'd all like to see the photos.

For Parts I've spent about 600 but I got them at cost! As for the labor I've been blessed to have a friend in the business or I think I would have sold her! The car is still in the shop so I'm awaiting the final total.
