I had a 96 and have done that job twice, make sure replace the thermostat otherwise it's a do-over several months later because you tried to save $20. Been there etc!! Change the belt, tensioner, water pump and thermostat.
Cons: do-over several months later
Vehicle:
Audi A4
i have the audi twin piston caliper/G60 rotor setup in the front of my 16vT GLI. i think theyre great, i can lock up the brakes at 50mph if i want so braking power is def not an issue.
Pros: great braking power
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
So far I've replaced all ignition coils (1 died while I was test driving the car, the other 2 years after in the winter, of course). I decided to replace them all with non-faulty Audi parts instead of doing it every year.
Pros: easy and pretty cheap
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Coolant I've never had any issues mixing dexcool with any of the stock coolant from Audi or VW.
Pros: no issues mixing dexcool
In addition to the suspension upgrade I have since retro fitted an Audi 5000 throttle body, well it's actually a Mk2 CIS with the WOT and closed throttle switches not being used. The piece is mated to a port matched intake manifold.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
I had to replace my comfort battery as well 2 weeks ago. The please start engine warning came on all the time before cranking. I ended up getting the batterie from an Audi dealer since the local VW dealer didn't have one in stock. At Audi the battery actually cost $ 60.00 less than if you would buy it from VW.
Pros: cheaper at Audi
6 years or 75,000 miles is the most I'd push any timing belt. We inspected a timing belt on a 2002 A4 with 57,000 miles in September - in-service date of 6/1/02 so it's over 6 years. Told her the belt is walking off, riding the edge of the tensioner and fraying.
Cons: walking off, riding edge, fraying
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 91732 km
The biggest problem with the Girling 60s is the weight, and the fact that the calipers are designed for 10 5/8" rotors, so they aren't a perfect fit with Corrado G60 11.0" brake rotors that they are used with.
Cons: weight, not perfect fit
Mine just failed at 71,000 kms. Was pushing nothing but warm air.
Cons: pushing warm air
