I’m through with this piece of shit A4. It’s been nothing but a fucking headache since the day I picked it up. Long story short, I get it drivable again (new ICM), went out this morning to start it up to warm up, and it spit about 3 (or more) quarts of oil out on the driveway. It’s too cold out to check it out. Not sure where it’s coming from, nor do I really care at this point. I just want to get rid of the thing. ---

But when I did pop the hood and snoop around for the 30 seconds that I did (before it got too cold), I could see that it looked like it was coming down the side of the block right by the oil filter. It could be something as small as the gasket on the oil filter crapping out or as bad as a hole in the block. We will find out later. Wish it was mine on fire. ☹ ---

I just found out in November, had been driving it that way since August. It is the only car (the damn BMW runs better than the Audi but it’s not inspected). I’m wondering what this car could go for even with the problems it has. > [@Street racers might need to outrun a drone soon](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/street-racers-might-need-to-outrun-a-drone-soon/39115/9): > > Full coverage?😉 That sucks man.

those are nice cars but from what I understand if you do not Do the required maintence on those vehicles like within the exact mileage it is needed they break, and they break alot lol…I guess your just a living example… that car breaks more than my swapped celica and that car was far from stock! ---

:hsugh: it’s not the make that is the problem… it was neglect. the car itself could be worked out… it’s just going to cost a couple grand… which is probably how much the original or past owners saved by not doing any of the maintenance.
