Dilemmas of a broke post grad:
I recently bought an Audi A4 1.8T Sport '99. Arguably one of the best decisions I have made in the last 6 years of car history. The previous owner said he had the cambelt done by his mechanic mate about this time last year, which is why it doesnt appear on the comprehensive service history.
Its not that I dont trust him, more for peace of mind. But i am looking at getting the water pump and cambelt done.
Various quotes later '350-550' its a toss up between spending a months wages on this or doing it myself.
Would it be too much of a job for me and my oldman to do in a day? both fairly mechanically minded. Or should i bite the bullet and loosen the purse strings a little?
