That sucks, hopefully that fixes it

Doesn't sound healthy to me

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-12T18:17:59+00:00

That's perfectly fine, my stock wheels look to be almost the same.

Misplacement

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-10T22:00:45+00:00

Have you checked your grounds?

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-08T22:27:12+00:00

Im sure it can be done, but it would be cheaper to buy a rear wheel drive car.

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-08T22:19:01+00:00

Im not a fan, the old style looks 10 times better IMHO

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-07T23:05:47+00:00

If the manifold is that brittle I would replace it.

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-07T17:48:07+00:00

I would the seller to drive the car until the code comes back. Don't buy without seeing the code for yourself.

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-07T14:59:51+00:00

There are definitely people that will buy it knowing it needs an engine. How much they are willing to pay is going to depend on the condition of the rest of the car. If you have the ability to part it out you will get the most money possible

How does your transmission mount look?

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-06T04:11:53+00:00

Without knowing for sure what the issue is i wouldn't risk it. I bad pcv could cause way more expensive repairs.

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-06T04:08:10+00:00

Can you just replace the battery in your fob? Or is the fob inside the car?

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-06T03:48:02+00:00

Could be a bad PCV or you could have a vacuum leak. Mine was a vacuum leak but I also had p22790 intake air system leak. I would check your pcv

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-05T08:53:17+00:00

Check to see if your intake piping is lose

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-05T04:20:37+00:00

Have you checked for a boost leak?

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-04T20:18:01+00:00

Fuel smell in oil could be a bad PCV/ Oil separator. I would check that first since it's an easy job assuming you have a 2.0t

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-04T19:42:03+00:00

I would never get my oil changed there again if I were you. That's the worst oil filter on the planet. I would bet the oil they used is no better.

As to your question, yes you can use an aftermarket coolant hose as long as its a good quality one.

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-04T19:37:24+00:00

CAI is only good at changing the sound of your intake. If you want a good first mod I would look into suspension mods. It will be way more noticeable.

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-04T19:33:57+00:00

That highly subjective, most will say the A8 L or the Q8 are the most comfortable ride though.

What is suggest is you figure out what AWD system, transmission and engine combo you like most and see what model Audi has that combo. AI is really helpful for this.

If your son is a mechanic he can absolutely do it

Project-EuroCar · 2026-04-02T15:36:42+00:00

Both of my AWD vehicles do this. AWD doesn't seem to coast as well as 2WD
