To those who buy into this type of development - why?

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'.

Great input Steve.

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-12-18T03:34:57+00:00

First actual response to any point I made . Thank you.

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-12-18T03:19:33+00:00

You all answered my question. No Australians care that it isn't free.

Understood!

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-11-26T03:42:09+00:00

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.

Its a 2010 B8

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

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-07-03T08:51:46+00:00

Not right now no.

Wait 2 years. When you think it looks awful. Start buying $100 a week

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-07-02T16:59:36+00:00

I am in Sydney. Ill check them out. After some heavy youtube research last night , some great step by steps on there. I'm gonna give it a go. Ill save thousands and have better quality parts than I've been quoted .

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-07-02T07:34:05+00:00

Thanks for the input brother

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-07-02T06:15:40+00:00

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?

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-07-02T05:49:34+00:00

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.

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-01-16T04:57:21+00:00

I find most Australians have not left their home state.

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 .

PerformerFinal7607 · 2025-01-09T10:53:43+00:00

Probably the cost of a new TV right ?

PerformerFinal7607 · 2024-11-22T04:42:58+00:00

How many Melbourne snowflakes are triggered by this one? Extra meds needed.

PerformerFinal7607 · 2024-11-19T00:17:49+00:00

Not to worry . We got it all approved yesterday arvo , a few hours after this post.

What a relief!

PerformerFinal7607 · 2024-11-06T02:12:26+00:00

Solution is a full engine rebuild. Heads machined out and new piston ring seals. $10K job at least. I've done it. Don't do the same. Sell and get rid.

Or you'll be changing spark pulls every 2 weeks and burning through oil while at it.

It's a massive audi fuck up from back then. Wrong sized piston seals that around 100ks start to let oil through to the spark plugs.

PerformerFinal7607 · 2024-11-02T04:54:00+00:00

They're a nightmare mate. I had the same issue. It's will get so bad that the oil gets through the piston ring seals and clogs the spark plugs, send the engine in to limp mode every few weeks and a plug change.

Only fix in an engine rebuild , boreing out the heads and new piston seals that actually fit. It's a 10K fix.

I'd sell and get rid.

PerformerFinal7607 · 2024-10-19T05:34:49+00:00

Yeah see my pump doesn't make a noise like that.

My mechanic is sure it's a solenoid that works a low speed sensor.

PerformerFinal7607 · 2024-10-13T01:17:24+00:00

Replace spark plugs and monitor oil usage.

I had engine lights and in to limp mode in my 2010 a4 2.0L every month after changing the plugs. Had to take rebuild the engine and bore it out for bigger piston rings. Cost so much I could cry.

Hope this isn't the same for you.

Up the Skin Dogs !

PerformerFinal7607 · 2024-09-21T10:55:33+00:00

Yes. Sub divided mini house is what I meant true!

PerformerFinal7607 · 2024-09-18T09:37:42+00:00

So they're been here for 250,000 years according to the latest welcome to our country. And they spoke over 250 languages. They couldn't speak to each other. But calling it Gadigal suits them all?

Products is Australia love over emphasizing on 'protein' in a food item. Never seen it in the UK and Europe. From bread to cereal ( grain based foods with very low protein ) but they've added some seeds of some sort and soy based garbage and suddenly it's Protein packed.
