Hi, i have received four time your reply .
2000$. I do everything on my Audis, so you tell me i ll be able to do it
myself .
The timing as been done at 150 000 km, so 150 000 km on it now. Never done
the chain.
The best way would be i buy the 1000 000km V8 wich is running good (it
4500$ nego) and the timing is already done. So if one day a scrap the car i
can use the engine for swap ;-). It s a nice car so i dont want hope to be
accidented.
