Hello fellow users
was really bored at home and thought I'd post a thread to show how my car was then explain my issue with it. It will be extremely slow progress because I recently been riding to work to save money for a MK2 TTs or S5 which i wont have enough for many many years LOL
Anyway - Got a A3 SE 170 BHP for £4,400 unsure if its BKD or BMN though
Sits a bit high though
So Here she is when I bought it's Snapback on backwards. (The roof)
Which came with these for free
but they're a bit battered
(I love the neighbours BM)
I really wanted 3sdm 0.01 wheels to change the wheels that came with the car so settled for some that I thought look similar.
This is what they looked like new, my poor parking skills have curbed then a LOT... the car opposite now have my old wheels on, I must say, it definitely suited his car a lot better than mine and I am so happy to see them go.
[BORING BIT]
I noticed my car was very jerky low down in the revs and I was advised to change the fuel filter which I did. After doing so everywhere I went and parked it up for a day it would leave a little pool of fuel so I clearly didn't do it correctly. So off it came and i went around tightening each bolt one by one bit by bit so there was no stress or strain, but the problem was still there so i left it (BAD IDEA)
OMW to that jumping place in Guildford I started seeing smoke then the car just cut out so I mounted the curb so I wasn't in the way of traffic and tried to turn it on 2 more times, no luck, Breakdown came, unclipped something in the engine and started spraying wd40 into the hose and turned it over a few more times and still no luck, after a few goes he noticed the serpentine belt had snapped.
Eventually got it home and the next day somebody came out to fix it then turned it over and still no luck then he realised the cambelt was ruined
Got my cambelt changed from 'DD Motors' in 'Raynes Park' after being told multiple times the car is dead (If you decide to go there, ask for Mason, Magician with cars) and the car was back but clearly injured.
The symptoms were now juddering and black smoke under load. Had a major service by Audi because it needed a service so i thought why not and as praying it would fix the issue but nope, still there.
Today I took it in explaining the issues and have been advised that Injector 1 has thrown up a fault so i need to get that replaced but because of the age and mileage of the car I'm advised to change all 4.
Labour at £130/hr at 3hrs = £390 :'(
Injector - £327.46
Gasket - £18.62
Harness - £92.16
bolts and screws
Total £1026.58 :'(
I dunno if this is regular price but I'm the type of person to try things myself so the plan now is to find somebody breaking the same car then try do them with the help of my brother myself, I save £390 on labour which already brings the cost down to £636.58 whoop whoop
[END OF BORING BIT]
Update soon Guys!!!!
