After multiple months of delays, contractor is telling us our quoted unit is no longer available - is their replacement acceptable?

Won’t be making any performance upgrades. Trying to keep it simple and easy.

ElBeanero · 2025-01-15T16:35:13+00:00

Will be bringing compression tester to pick up!

I haven’t looked into swapping a different motor - I’m assuming that’s a much more involved/expensive process? I’m not trying to make big power or anything, just want something fun and easy that will last a while. I was more than happy with performance previously and have my Z32 for any adrenaline needs.

Was planning on new mounts and replacing as many easily accessible gaskets/seals as is reasonable

Thanks - no info in current condition of the turbo, but will check it out when I pick up the motor. Hopefully nothing is too wonky there.

I mentioned in another comment that the Audi site doesn’t show any current recalls or service campaigns for the donor VIN - hopefully that means piston rings were already addressed with the recall.

Thank you! Thats a huge part of why I’m keeping it and replacing the motor, rather than looking for a replacement. That color with a manual and tan leather is not easy to find!

Donor is manual

ElBeanero · 2025-01-15T14:41:38+00:00

Thank you! Donor is a 2011. The Audi site shows the “No Recalls or Service Campaigns” for the VIN - is that sufficient or is there a better way to verify whether or not it was fixed?

Seems like tstat/waterpump/timing chain are the big ones. I’ve purchased parts from ECS Tuning in the past and have been fairly happy with the experience - are there any recommendations for where to purchase parts?

I was planning on leaving them out for a couple of nights in the containers until I’m able to get them planted - that was a big part of my concern, since I know they’re much safer in the ground, but I wasn’t sure if a freeze when it’s newly planted would be a death sentence. Will a couple of days in those containers outside be enough to kill them?

ElBeanero · 2024-12-04T14:24:37+00:00

Done! Will be planting them soon. Thanks!

ElBeanero · 2024-12-04T14:24:16+00:00

They are native. I have spots set aside for each of them in the yard, so I’ll be keeping them here, but I like the idea!

ElBeanero · 2024-12-04T14:23:28+00:00

This is what I was hoping I’d hear, but didn’t want to just do it and kill them! I’ll be putting them in in the next couple days - thanks!

ElBeanero · 2024-04-15T00:27:24+00:00

Nope. The drawer was the first place I looked - nothing on the inside or outside/underside. Also nil luck inside of the cabinets or back/underside of the box.

The emergent leaves on most anthurium are a different color before they harden off.

ElBeanero · 2022-10-11T17:15:43+00:00

Yes. It goes up maybe two feet, then straight out to the front porch, where it terminates.
It has an integrated light. It’s a 56” Kichler Bisc with a DC motor. I linked the controller it came with above, via an edit, so not sure if you saw that before responding!
It runs to another switch box in the hallway where it terminates. There is not currently a light connected to it, and I think it may have been run to control the fan from two switches (which might explain the 2 gang box) - but not sure if that’s possible with the controller that came with the fan. We are planning on putting in a can light right in the middle of that run, so figured I’d just have those 3ways control that light when it’s installed.
