Bought my car last year in may on 78K with a full MOT its and 2004 reg BEX engine.
After purchase it went in for coil pack recall with audi free of charge. I thought result. Then for my own piece of mind as I couldn't find it in the history I did the cambelt and water pump change at 80K cost £450, front discs & pads £120
Then discovered the last pig tail on the coil springs one front and one rear, replaced the with H&R lowering Springs 30mm, tie rod ends got also replaced £350, then window regulator broke £60, then did a rear discs & pads and oil service £160.
Then my Power Steering rack broke, £700, then down pipe flexi exhaust replacement £100 the rear cooland flange and rocker cover gaskets £150
And know its come up to the MOT and its failed on Upper Suspension bushes and Control Arm bushes, plus a dicky airbag sensor in the seat with a quote given of £510
This car has cost me nearly £2700 within in a year!!!!!! WTF!!!
Majority of it I guess it wear and tear I understand that, but I've pretty much touched every major component on the car!!! Its on 95K now. Someone please tell me that I'm not going to expect another huge bill soon???
The only thing left on it that will go in a while is the clutch.
on a side not my previous 1998 Audi A4 I did 50K miles in it and I only spent £500 in maintenance only!!!
What do you think, time to get rid or keep considering the money spent????
Thanks in advance
