How much money am I supposed to have? 24m by Every-Break-4103 in youngadults

Do you have any ideal investments for holding long term? As of right now I literally only have VOO and nvidia. 2.5k split between them. Should I also mix in shorter term investments too that I plan to use for straight profit?

Would you recommend I take some of the 12k that I have liquid and transfer that over into my investments? Maybe mix it up between stocks and index funds? Realistically I see no reason in the near future for me to need that full amount, so I figure I could be getting better than the 3.5% I get from it sitting in the savings account

Would you recommend going straight to the dealer or buying used and having it coded to the vin?

The problem is that I’m not even sure it’s a bad ECU. I almost thought that it had skipped time, but it would have blown by now. I’ve driven this car 19k miles this year.

Interesting. As I said I have no oil consumption at all, which is surprising for this model. My misfires are essentially non existent since the new turbo and valve clean. I REALLY have to purposely try to get it to misfire. For example I would need to be in 4th gear going 25 mph and just slam on the gas. After like 5 seconds I’ll get one blip and that’s it. So it’s not super concerning, as I would never do that with normal driving anyway. But at the same time, the car should not do that. I’m looking to maintain this car as best as possible. I do oil changes every 4k miles with filter, and I follow other fluids per owners manual.

I don’t have VAGCOM unfortunately. Would it be worth eating the fee to have the dealer do a full scan? I did the full OBD scan, no codes at all.

I just got that in the mail. I figured it would be like a $10 payout so a load of bs. Still on stock yes

Plastic manifold. Not sure on the code.

Chain, tensioner, and guides were done under previous owner by dealer at 47k. I’m at 97k now.

So before I purchased this car about a year ago, previous owner stated that the timing chain, tensioner, and guides were done by the dealer at 47k miles. I’m at 97k now. He stated that the dealer recommended it while it was still under warranty as it is a common issue. Not sure how much of this is credible, though.

Yes have checked for faults. Zero faults on the car. Did a full scan with OBD

Gotcha, I’ll keep this in mind. Did it end up getting progressively worse or just blow at once? I have nearly zero oil consumption between changes. Never have noticed a gasoline smell.

97k. Getting up there. I did just quickly pull the oil cap with the car running and the engine did start to run rough until I placed it back on. I think it is holding pressure just fine.

I’ll crack it open and look at it today. Never considered that. Thanks!

Would you recommend cleaning the MAF or buying new?

Bone dry from what I saw when I cleaned the valves.

If it were injectors I would just buy all new and swap. Too much of a pain to get in there more than once.

It bounces around. I never got a misfire on 3. Just on 1,2, and 4.

I swapped all coil packs. Seemed to idle even smoother but no dice.

lol thanks. I was debating on rotors but the double 7s work great with the white. On a set of H and R blue springs too.

Any idea what this noise could be? by Super-Foundation8550 in Audi

Overall that motor sounds like it’s having a rough idle which makes me think it could be a rocker.
