The Beemer Is Dead, Long Live The Audi

did you drive it back?

initial impression? I had the V6 in my estate and loved the smooth POWER!

Yep, drove it back from North Manc, never missed a beat. Loving the silky smooth power and the awesome V6 growl. I'm smitten to be fair. Seems quite good on fuel too. Just need to sort a stereo for the long trip.
Heaps quicker than the Beemer too, which might suggest that the Beemer had a bit of a problem!

BRING ON THE 'RING!!!!

That smooth power will be useful to tow me home

I'll make sure I bring the new tow rope!

Looking good. Not bad at all for the money

What stickers are you doing for it?

No stickies for this one. I quite like the subtle "Grandad Sleeper" look!

Just need to replace the 2.4 badge with a 1.9 TDi to complete the look

But it looks so 'naked ' for a Tux motor

Must be something about these Audi V6's thats both you and Rob having owned one already this year!
Does look very nice though

that looks very tidy pete, welldone

Well, I think I may ever so slightly have broken it!!



Cylinder three was waaay down on compression and the general concensus is that the HG has gone. Local garage quoted approx £600 for one HG (should really do them both) and that didn't include timing belts, tensioners water pump etc and since it is worth zero as it stands I figured I had nothing to lose by having a bash myself. So I took it apart.
All bits including belts etc and the can and crank locking tools cost about £350, so we'll see how I get on.

Gulp! Well ... good luck with that my friend. I rather like the open look by the way .. must help coolling no end!

Go Tux GO.

Thought this one was coming my way LOL


Were you planning to bring it bit by bit in the back of the Golf
