First 1K with the Audi

It's been less than a month and around 1K kilometers so far, the car seems solid, there are some steering noises and vibrations when on the road and the first thing I suspected was the silent-blocs.

I am right, after checking them out, they are very worn and need replacement, also I found out one of the boots is broken and the other is about to. So replacement for that is in order.

Here some pic of the damage, so far.

Passenger side boot, broken, grease coming out, not good.


 Engine looks good, it doesn't have the plastic cover, but who needs it? :)


This is one of of the 2 top silent-blocs


 And this is the boot that is not broken yet, but will be soon.



Welcome to my other cars...

Since I already have a blog about my Land Rovers (past and present), I thought I should start blogging about any other stuff related to cars, that somehow interest me and see if someone else likes it or finds it practical.

Of course, for now I'll post mostly about a "new" old car I got to travel around roads, this is a 2001 Audi A4 (B6), 2.0 ALT engine, EVE box (multitronic CVT), with just over 230K kilometers, but still working great and seems to be well kept, just one owner before me.



Welcome to this blog and if you need anything drop me an email dcproventests AT gmail.com

Thank you.
