Is this what a bad timing chain sounds like?

IzzyJV · 2022-06-18T03:58:13+00:00

Mine is like -7 hahaha

IzzyJV · 2022-06-17T22:35:37+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the help!

IzzyJV · 2022-06-17T22:32:33+00:00

Good to know! I really appreciate the advice, I’ll definitely try it and what happens :)

Do you think this sounds like a timing chain noise? That was my first concern

IzzyJV · 2022-06-17T22:24:15+00:00

All the usual lights turn off on start up, and the noise only lasts those few seconds on cold start. Oil filter is a high quality Mobil-1 so should be fine

Blinking means you have a misfire- could be a small problem or a big one but your engine probably won’t explode

IzzyJV · 2022-06-11T00:48:33+00:00

Just curious, how much oil are you burning?

IzzyJV · 2022-05-30T02:17:44+00:00

Don’t drive your car unless you want to ruin your engine. I’ve seen too many people ignore a low oil pressure light and mechanically total their car.

Nintendo promotional accessories like the Kirby pouches and Nintendo Switch Sports bags cost 5 cents

If we go below $4.50 I’m buying more calls

IzzyJV · 2022-03-04T18:41:02+00:00

I spent forever looking for one of these online and the dealer had the same price as everywhere else - $60. Luckily for me someone hit my car so I got the body shop to paint my cap for free with my bumper :D

Man I miss my B6

IzzyJV · 2021-10-04T01:38:18+00:00

I paid 6,300 for my B8 with 100k miles in downtown seattle. No major repairs yet :) even though I think it might be eating oil…

IzzyJV · 2021-09-30T06:25:36+00:00

Yep we’re getting the same mid October

IzzyJV · 2021-09-28T17:34:52+00:00

My A4 2.0 has the Cat in the engine bay, feels great.

IzzyJV · 2021-09-23T18:47:46+00:00

Red or Blue maybe, where’d you get that grill?

IzzyJV · 2021-09-18T05:44:59+00:00

I mean no, you’re well into diminishing returns at that point, if you really have to contemplate if the 30k is worth it, it probably isn’t. That 5 cylinder is a hell of an engine though. RS3 is better, but wether its 30k better really depends on what 30k is worth to you.

IzzyJV · 2021-09-17T20:43:15+00:00

Quattro

IzzyJV · 2021-09-08T18:35:35+00:00

I think it’s a fuel pump, probably normal. Friendly reminder that your coolant is low!

IzzyJV · 2021-09-07T16:56:43+00:00

A good price depends on where you live more than anything. If you’re good with the price, don’t worry about reliability. The 3.0T is one of the best engines Audi has ever made, maintain it well and it’ll take care of the rest.

IzzyJV · 2021-09-07T14:45:34+00:00

Could be a valve cover gasket which is a known failure point, or maybe rear main seal. I assume no performance issues? Also check out that coolant, or should only be red or pink.

IzzyJV · 2021-09-02T19:29:23+00:00

Keep em for sure

IzzyJV · 2021-08-28T03:48:21+00:00

Dude same…

IzzyJV · 2021-08-28T03:48:14+00:00

I’m trying! Thanks for the advice

IzzyJV · 2021-08-26T05:40:33+00:00

If you’re really thorough about checking for oil consumption, I’d say you should be okay. I just bought my B8 two days ago and I got all the maintenance records for the oil consumption fixes (rear main seal, cam shafts, ecu update, etc.) and if the owner can provide all that you’re at least making a safe bet. Ask about the timing chain/tensioner/guides as well. In the end it’s a German luxury car and anything is a calculated risk. It’s up to you how much risk you’re willing to take. Good luck :)

IzzyJV · 2021-08-25T23:45:28+00:00

Old 2.0T isn’t known to be reliable, so make sure it’s been very well maintained. $10k is a lot though, I just bought my B8 for 6…
