is anyone in here specialize on audi's ?

 

WWW.mnaudi.com

 

But good luck getting registered :roll:

 

Me. Whats your question.

 

i owned one for a year or so, still miss it. dont miss the insurance rates.

 

did registered mnaudi, but that's way back on spring session....6 month ago i think....

 

You'd get good results posting your question there.

Are you looking for a Audi shop or are you a do-it-yourselfer?
I've had a 97 A4 2.8 quattro for 4 years now.

I'm on there as stick as well.

 

I work at a shop that specializes in Audis and VWs

 

i just picked up a 1996 quattro A6
does anyone in here know how to change timing belt here? right now i'm leaking small amount of coolant and i know where it coming from. I could go to the audi dealership but it will cost me properly more. I'm pretty noob about audis so i that's why i kinda ask before i touch anything.

 

are you the one with 2 listed audi's on craigslist--they mention being a mechanic for vw and audi. ??

ever since selling my STi, i'm looking for a decent AWD machine...

I know there is a shop in NE mpls that works on them...

 

Either you know them well, or they make you want to punch yourself in the face. I'm the latter.

 

ok is anyone in here have a free time to take a look at today?...now it kinda went worst now... pm me

 

Tommy you are going to regret buying it every single day. Good luck.

 

i got this car the right budget, I'm using this for a beater, who knows....maybe it might be my permanent vehicle. Once i sale my shadowz i'm pretty stick with this car. I got this car really cheap it only needs some few maintenances. I know few of here don't like audi but i think a car is a car...and also I want to know more about it....

 

Well I dont wish anything bad upon you...did the timing belt already snap?

 

Hope you have some money set aside for coils... You'll need them sooner or later...

Let me know if you need parts or service. I still have good friends at Carousel

 

I know erik...u have been done few things when my shadowz was in your shop....

well it starts out when this morning when i started my car and notice that my coolant level went low because the coolant signal went on.....so I went to a nearest SA Gas station( stupid moved ever) to get some coolant. It was 4 am btw. I bought it, pour into the coolant and ready to drive to work. My driving was pretty much the speed limit, once i exit off, i saw smoke coming out under the hood. I parked and open up the hood and coolant was all over the engine bay. I shut off the car immediatly and let it sit there til it cools down. After awhile I started the car again and the cooling signal went on and smoke continuing coming from the coolant tank....( I opened the cap).....that's my story


as my research that audi used some kinda special coolant, which i don't know of. Not the that cheap green liquids..http://www.blauparts.com/audi/audi_fluid/audi_coolant_engine_fluid.shtml#audiv6coolantchange

They only use the G11 and G12

 

Sounds like air in the system, hopefully that air was just from you trapping a bubble inside the cooling system, and not a blown HG.

 

Yea audis only use G12. G11 is late models. NO GREEN

 

I know they have this pink coolant they were available somewhere but i don't know where to get it locally....damn european vehicles...if it was the HG, won't the gauge climbing up? right now if i shut off the car i can hear the bubbling....
my prediction is that perhaps might be just a water pump failure

 

Sounds like you have air trap in that wrong coolant. You may want to drain and flush. And go to an Audi/VW dealer and buy coolant.

 

yeah according what the article said i need to reflush the coolant ASAP....but now my car is sitting at my work and i don't want to attempt to drive it from maple grove to golden valley....basically i have to tow it there...arggh

 

You can basically get evrything you need for an Audi at Metric Autoparts. Even the weird ****. And cheaper than the audi dealer.
96 a6. that's the 12V 2.8L. It's a pretty reliable motor if you take care of it.

If not DIYing, i highly recommend Metric Auto Works in Woodbury.

 

I used to have a '95 A6 5 speed. Very reliable car, and had a lot of nice features for a '95. Kinda miss that car...
