well... i took my motor out tonight to prepare to put the new one in...
and lo and behold... a cracked exhaust manifold.>...

We have four 5TQ's (three plus a parts car).  The exhaust manifolds in all
of them are cracked.  Been like that for years.  My local Audi guy says it's
common.  We have not had any problems...


i should have bought two cars...

Only two?  I think eight is about right.  One to drive and one to fix for
each day of the week.
