My buddy had a A4 and the wheel bearing calls for like 8 hours or something stupid. Electronics always take a shit. Stereo was fucked up. I cant even count the times I see old and NEW Audi’s on the road with the tail lights shorted or fucked up. That car had been nothing but trouble for him. I have heard similar views from others… but research before you buy regardless. ---

> [@Viper966](#): > > audi never made a TDI, @ least not here in the states… so count that out hmmmmmm, a TDI swap in a A4, that would be cool. of course it would need some more juice to lug that tank around but it should bolt right up i would think. Brian ---

I have heard similar views from others… but research before you buy regardless. you do know that"fucked up" tail light is actually a euro fog right? ie an actual function of the car… :lol: and ive done a wheel bearing on both the front and rear of my audi quattro, and each only took ~ 2 hours ---
