[s-cars] FW: Greetings from Saskatchewan !

[pkrasusky@ups.com]

FWIW I just got my 5 new ones from Tim LeClair @ FAP in MI
foreignauto99 at hotmail.com for $95 each IIRC Randy.  No affiliation.  Ask
him about the rear cal's while your at it.
 
My thought on coils / CPSs is that fiddle with old brittle heat blasted
wiring in attempts to do other things (replace spark plugs, head
gaskets, etc.) and these areas get compromised.  Tis why I never fiddle
with anything unless it's broke...  which means everything gets fiddled
with.  All the time.  And tis why if there's multiple same-items and one
fails hmmm wonder what's going to happen to the rest soon later?  
 
No matter, worth it still.  Hammering down the CTbahn each day I sit in
my black recaro surrounded by CF trim smoked tint cammy green paint (and
3 babyseats) and I bask in the vicerality of it all (yes vicerality why
not?)...  axles flailing unsprung weight a-tuggin reciprocating masses
a-spinnin lotsa boost a-spoolin...  goodgood stuff. 
 
Good luck, HTH.

Thks Sean, Bill, Paul & listers,
 
You guys are always right  !!! ... turned out the Technician pinched a
wire re-installing the coil and it managed to make it a couple of
kilometers and then it shorted out.  This is a relief as I was afraid
they were going to tell me my surviving 3 old coils had decided to give
up and something else was cooked.   Maybe we need a bulk buy on coil
packs !!!  I have ascertained that my local dealer charges 37% more for
parts than other somewhat local Audi dealers..... who I think charge 25%
more than other specialty parts places.
 
 
I am perplexed about the brake hoses going so fast, these were original
parts but installed by another shop, so I am not sure how much hope I
have in dealing with Audi.  My next challenge will be finding an
inexpensive rear caliper due to sticking when emergency brake applied.
 
 
Anyway, thanks guys, appreciate it.  
 
Randy
