"What is wrong with your Audi?" "I have heard that they are really unrealiable."
Quote from a realtor! She went in the garage and saw the Audi with its hood up. Something I do after every drive and decided to share her thoughts on the Audi.
I told her it was the previous home owner's car that he couldn't get it to run so he left it behind and that I will leave it for the buyer.

i open mine to service position when i get home. It's time consuming but
increases the life of the motor mounts threefold. I also hear you can go 200k on a timing belt by doing this.

I do it, and I think it helps. 8 years on orig. coolant tank, all my hoses and wires are supple...
I either open it completely, or at least just pop it (unlatch it) so that at least I get a LITTLE more ventilation.
I've always wanted to engineer a hood hinge system that lifts the back of the hood a couple inches to allow ventilation. I think it's a damn smart idea, especially for high hp/turbo cars nowadays. I'm thinking specifically of the biggest engines by benz, bentley, rolls royce, etc.
You read it here first! Don't take my idea!
