Garage Time Thread

I admire your work, but damn, how many license plates have you cut up?

Do own a prison with a stamping plant or are they all stolen?

 

Today’s task:

open DSG transmission, replace boards on valve body, fill it up.



Hope it will start again

 

I NEED one of those scissor lifts for work

 

Those are Quickjacks I believe. I've got a set and they are awesome to have around.

 

Quickjacks a buddy and I share. Getting my 2-post Monday…

valve unit out:


Faulty boards replaced.
Wish me luck

 

@Phl218 if Joe Average took it to a dealer, how much would they be looking at to have that repair done?

 

That's $2500 to $3500 bucks...

 

Beeb rule #273 - Never own an Audi out of warranty. Unless you can do all the work yourself.

 

yep, even though some forums claim that number to be even higher.
It’s a scary job even with the repair manual and “been there done that” attitude.

however, this fix did not fix my non-start issue that had a trans code thrown which led to an Audi TSB recommending this repair. $800 later and car is still not running.

guess I will drain the tank next and replace the LP fuel pump with filter. My fear is that water could have gotten in (don’t ask) and that’s currently circulating the system

 

Good luck. I spent most of the weekend removing, rebuilding and replacing the power steering gearbox on my moms car. Effing fun....NOT

 

Thank you!

 

I have about 50-60 at any given time. Get them in bulk off of craigslist or eBay when you're going cheap or free.

You can buy them or just cut a flat strip with a small hook on the end out of a flat PET bottle (Fiji works)

 

I'll update my previous post.

 

More pics

 

All you need now are some "FIRE CHIEF" decals for the doors and a bubble gum flasher for the roof.....

 

That brought back an old memory (although this is a 4-door)....

 

Just moved into a new place. Outfitting it for hobbies. What do you guys have to organize your gear and kits? I want something similar to this one but cubbies split up for snowboard/ splitboard/sled/mtb/mtb lockers.

going to build a bike rack the rolls around for the mountain bikes. And a bay with a plastic pan to hang wet clothes to dry.
