oh and if you wanna compair somthing to working on an audi... Its no harder than learning the ins and outs of a pain in the tail conquest... but the audi will be more reliable in the end..... Every single car has different things to look for and different ways to fix them.. being adaptive and knowing basics and having patience are good traits for any mechanic or anyone who works on their own stuff.. you cant just jump into a new car and expect to know everything about it or its systems

I dissagree with most of you... I was an Audi/VW tech at a well known dealership for quite a while as well as a mom and pop shop that specializes in them.. I also sold them ive owned older late 80s, early 90s audis, late 90s audis, a few S4's, A4, A6's etc... a few issues, heater cores with high mileage in them tend to get plugged up, most the time you can backflush it and call it good.. Timing belt service usually 80-100k depending on the model, replace water pump and tensioners/pullys, seals while its apart which is a fairly simple job on most of them.. Front control arms upper and lowers when the ball joints where out you gotta buy a complete kit to fix both sides for a few hundred on ebay and finding the kit on ebay you will get the CORRECT OEM replacement same brand and everything.. digital LED cluster in the dashs tend to go out.. but not the odometer side.. those are the main issues... and no most of thats not super expensive to maintain considering at the mileage itll have to be done at you'll get enough years out of the car before actually having to do any of that.

I purchased the forged motor that was in that car.. when the owner sold it to me he was going to put a stock motor back in it.. I had thought about purchasing the car for a second quest to play with... he listed in his ads that he put the stock motor back in it.. not sure where you got your info from?

FS: D_Venable review mirror gauge cluster!
boosted89quest replied to boosted89quest's topic in Parts for sale
I found a Glowshift, black face, 7 color LED, electronic oil pressure guage that i never had in a car, I only tapped the sending unit so it would screw into the factory oil pressure switch spot..... Ill include that or $15 more.... Ebay they go for $60 just for the gauge!! -

FS: D_Venable review mirror gauge cluster!
boosted89quest replied to boosted89quest's topic in Parts for sale
unless derek has pictures of it in his car that he could post, I dont have any, i never really got around to even driving my car after i put it in there lol.. . he originaly made the mold for his Flatty that is no longer around.. it fits great, the view is great and very easy to look at a Wideband or any other gauge... this could also easily be finished by anyone and made look mint, considering i only sprayed black paint on it. -
D_Venable(derek) made this gauge cluster maybe 2 1/2 years ago, as far as I know this one and the one is his car are the onlyones in exsistance,, remove your factory Dome light setup and this uses the same 2 screws to mount and the factory cover for the screws also works on this. this was never finished 100% since i had it, I just sprayed it black and put a hole in it for my Greddy Profec boost controller, put my gauges in it and mounted it.. I haavent had my conquest for quite a while and this has been collecting dust. I would like $40 shipped for it..thats including paypal fees. boostthis89@hotmail.com is my paypal address... I will ship USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.

Anyone ever have shoulder surgery?
boosted89quest replied to JohnnyWadd's topic in Just plain ol' B.S.
I had partial tendon tear & a ligament tear, refused surgery and I healed just fine and am stronger with my shoulder in every single way possible and zero loss of flexability... Maybe i got lucky but my doc told me that the majority of the time they cut you open, clean the tear up and dont re-attatch and then put you back together.... then your out for rehab etc.. F that... -
