What a joke
« on: 12 September 2009, 22:26:15 »

A friend of a friend has an 02 Audi RS6 estate and has just swapped it with a garage for a 04 5.7 V8 Dodge pick up, the reason for the swap was because the both heads had gone on the Audi and the local Audi garage quoted just for the work to be done a little over £3000 and then the parts on top, what a p**s take :o :o :o

Garage clear out in March 2011 and I will have a large amount of omega parts going very cheap.

My mate has a 53 reg big diesel Audi. It needed a cambelt change a while back. The whole of the front of the car had to be removed to do the job :o :o :o

The Machanic forgot to do the fanbelt which should be done at the same time, he had to remove it all again ;D ;D ;D ;D

Terry went to an Audi main stealer for a quote, i don't recal the exact amount, but it was over a grand :o :o :o :o :'( :'( :'( :'(

Should have learnt his lesson, stay away from V8s... for-potters much cheaper to fix   ;)

Much easier on cambelts too, and cam cover gaskets are a doddle  :)
