I'm looking for a hard copy of a Bentley manual for the UrS4. My car has
decided to call it quits until I get it fixed. I'm getting a loud wooshing
sound, and before that there was hardly ever any boost.

I've had the car for about 2 months, a little over, so I guess it's about time
for it to give me some trouble.

I'm also thinking that maybe i'm in over my head here. I imagine myself keeping
my car for a very long time, but there's just so much I need to repair just to
get it back to like new running conditions. Here's what wrong:

-Hydraulic Brake Pressure Accumulator: Brake light stays on for way more than
30 seconds, and it's hard to pump the brakes more than 5-8 times

-Clutch is going out

-all belts need to be replaced soon

-need new rotors and pads

-starting to smell like gas inside

-I can't keep up the boost(before my hose cracked)

-turbo has 140,000 hard miles on it

-paint. There is some rust starting to accumulate

-keyfob doesn't work anymore


I bought the car for cheap, and I knew I would have to put some TLC into
it...but I'm thinking I should've saved up some more and bought a good
condition car.

What was I thinking?!:D College students shouldn't blow all their savings on a
car, let a lone a car that needs work!:P Oh well...I was always a difficult
person.
