Hi there guys, just got my first Audi, an A4 2.8 quattro. While I'm already in love with her, there's some niggles that I want sorting, and some questions that may be easy for you seasoned pros to answer for me!
So, here we go, brace yourselves!
1) The water and oil temp don't go above about 80 degrees... even after a long drive. Is that normal for this engine?
2) The battery meter is registering 14-15 at all times - again, should I be worried?
3) The front left ABS sensor is shot. I've got a new one with the car, but have no idea how to replace it. Is it a big job? Can someone point me in the direction of a guide?
4) Both the radio and computer displays are missing pixels - can they be repaired/replaced?
5) There's a wheel bearing-type drone from the rear of the car - are they difficult to replace DIY style?
6) The belts will need doing soon, are they difficult DIY too?
7) lastly, what mods should I be thinking of, both cosmetically and mechanically? I was thinking coilovers, but are there any other easy bolt ons from later cars, etc?
Thanks y'all!!
