[urq] So you thought we had it bad

[Brandon Rogers]

yes and after 20 yrs of turbo quattro technolgy - servicing should be getting easier, a la urq>>>S4, not _worse_ a la urq>>>RS6, IMO....

oh well it's not like I was about to go pick up an RS6...

  Hey, thats the first thing that popped into my head when I had to replace the first intake hose on my Urq...!   Compared to my 94 S4, the Urq is a nightmare. Although, comparing wrenching on the wives biturbo to the Urq is a whole nother story.... everything is relative.

    IMO if you can't make something serviceable - don't make it like that......
