[s-cars] Happy Camper

[David Ambrose]

So I just found my UrS4.  Before I got it home I was informed that it's
going to need some new brakes and a new tie rod.  Do you have suggestions
for a Boston area shop - if more than one comes to mind I live in Somerville
and work in Woburn?  I've heard a lot of great reviews about a shop in
Manchester NH, is it worth the trip?  I was fortunate to find one with
relatively low miles- 86,000 (1993).  My only near experience with this car
is owning a 1991  90 20V Quattro.  Needless to say I'm very interested in
preventive maintenance.  Do you have some suggestions of preventive
maintenance at this point - especially in regards to the transmission,
"transmission failure brought on by worn pinion bearings"  also do I get the
timing belt and water pump replaced now or wait till 100K?  Any parts I
should ask my German friends to send my way?  Any and all advice is welcome
and appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
