I need to find a garage!

Scarlet · 26-05-12, 07:07 PM

Its now taking the piss, i have spent over a year trying to get someone to fix the audi, everyone says that its to big a job for them or they dont know how to do it

Someone please help me find someone to do it!

Its a 1990 type44 100 quattro 2.2 turbo avant, needs new cooling system (rad, water pump and several pipes are leaking), head done, timing belt, oil seals etc It has now sat for so long its going to need loads of other stuff done but surely someone will do it??
Last garage i spoke to the guy said he would have done it but he works on his own and he thought it would take about 2 months to do and he could do 40+ other cars in that time

Speek to James, he knows his Audis.

Pity you weren't closer that job would be right up my street. Unfortunately I'm in Wales.

Stick a non-turbo engine in it! 2.2 or 2.3. Job done for 500 bucks. Pain in the fkin ar*e these things, I'm seriously comtemplating it with mine. The more you look the more you find needing done, you'll be 3 or 4 grand down before you know it if you stick it in a garage. Unless you're rich of course then it doesn't matter,

I'm not! Hate to think what I'd have paid in labour by now on these things, probably about as much as I earn in a year if I hadn't done the work myself.

Tried him wont touch it with a barge pole lol he has never done one before, though in saying that we took a bmw 330 to him and he was confused by that, my dad took it home and fixed it himself after jase telling him it would never work, one of the guys my dad knows used to be a bmw tech and told him how to fix it himself
