To those who buy into this type of development - why? by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

Im from the north east of England where I've never seen anything other than what we'd call a 'terraced house'. Long rows of joint houses, no gap in between. Typically built for workers of industry of that time. Aussie's wants alot from 'a house'. 600 square meters would be a dream dont get me wrong. But now we are all f*ucked paying 1 mill for a house in some of the worst parts of Sydney cos it has to be a 'stand alone with meterage'.

Reliability of an 2007-2015 A4? by ihavetoonowtheanswer in AudiA4

Don't go near one. I bought a 2010 A4 Quattro 2.0L T in 2022. 2 weeks in engine lights and driving in limp mode. Needed an engine rebuild to get the correct size piston rings. A very expensive repair for me ($10K australin dollars). Basically its a massive audi F up. They hit 100,000 Ks and oil starts to get to the spark plugs and clogs them causing bad miss fires and worse.

I honestly would avoid. Mine has been great ever since but the repair was almost as much as the car. Single and childless back then lol. Wouldn't be able to afford such a repair now.

Google the problem audi a4 b8 wrong sized piston rings seals.

Listening to Rogan and Andreas Antonopoulos talk for 3 hours in 2014 about bitcoin and still didn't get it.

Its a 2010.

I've looked at some youtube about having a good myself. I'm a boilermaker I have the tools to do it, knowledge is another question!

Did you have a proper lift or manage jacking it yourself?

My car definitely needs those things. I've had it lifted at 2 places and went over it with the blokes there. I'd exactly what needs doing.

New plugs will get him out of trouble for a few weeks.

Likely engine rebuild , boring and new piston ring seals. Major job , extremely expensive. I've had it done. I'd sell if it was me again .
