Hi folks,
Been lurking on the forums for a few months but have now signed up. I've had my a4 for a few months now....sold my aircooled beetle and mk3 golf to 'upgrade' to something a bit more modern and to try and save on the costs of having 2 cars on the road at once. Still think the a4 is costing me more than the 2 put together but its a great car so worth it!
My old cars;
Golf (16V GTi)
Bug (1600, EMPI's, Rake!)
The A4 is totally standard at the moment. One of the reasons I went for it is that I can't think of any other cars that look as good fresh from the factory, especially in avant S-line trim. Wasn't really looking for a red one but this one came up at just the right time and everything else was spot on. Now that I have got used to it I much prefer the red than any other colour on them!
It's given me a few problems this week...both seem to be common faults though so should get sorted easily enough. Coolant leak from bleed valve screw thing and wiper mechanism seized this morning! Replacement screw ordered, not sure if the spindle on wiper mechanism can be loosened or replacement required?
Plans; Cambelt and water pump replacement, wheel refurb, remap and maybe slight lowering...then just going to enjoy!
At Grey Mares Tail after 'spirited' and dirty drive
Looking a bit more respectable and clean!
Cheers
Jake
