[V8] Bought 1993 Audi V8

[Tony and Lillie]

And for that matter, I won't go over 60k on any of mine, no matter what the 
recommendation is. I've rebuilt about ten 1.8T heads from belts going, and 
only one was over the 105K recomended interval. The lowest was 72k, and no, 
the factory didn't cover it. These are mostly due to the tensioner itself 
going bad, but nonetheless, I won't take the chance. a 1.8T head rebuild 
with TB service runs about $2k, too high for my pocketbook ;-)
