Re: V8 Redux



Larry- I feel for you---but on to somethings that might help. First, I think
your first problem is the dealer. If you are capable of doing your own work,
start now! If you need the manual, I will work with you to get mine copied
(thanks to Unca Bart BTW whats happened to him?). Next, have the transmission
fluid changed, buy a dipstick for the transmission,so you can check/maintain
the fluid level(make sure the car /xmission is fully warmed up). Change your
brake fluid and coolant every two years, and oil/filter every 5K miles.Check
all of your CV joint boots to ensure no splits/cracks. Change both breather
hoses . Keep good tires on it,to avoid unnessesary fender benders, and keep
your insurance paid up. Other then that drive the beast and enjoy, its a GREAT
car, I know because I have had one for the last six years. I also have an A8
and I am having a tough time deciding which car I like better.
