I finally got the bastard Timing belt changed in my cab, along with a new waterpump, thermostat, hardware, & serpentine belt.

Thanks CRAZY_RUSSIAN and all of those who helped guide me Especially 12v pages.

now i move on to the suspension =/

CRAZY_RUSSIAN

I'm glad that it all worked out:-) sorry for snapping at you earlier

audijsh2413

its all good, better to be snapped at and do it right rather than ****ing it up and having to replace more than just the timing belt

i have 1 more question about the TB, one of my covers was brittle and broke, its still mostly in tact, but it doesnt fit snug... it rattles really bad ... is it going to hinder my car if i have them off for a bit til i can get new covers?

CRAZY_RUSSIAN

i took all my plastic off, which one do u need?

audijsh2413

its the top right (facing the engine)
but if its not a big deal to have them off id rather just take them off..

CRAZY_RUSSIAN

yeah, that one broke on me:-) as long as you dont stick anything in there, your fine :-)

audijsh2413

i dont plan on it, last thing i want to do is the TB again.
the next few things im going to do is:
Replace the bushings in the lower A arms.
Tie rods, ball joints, etc.
Repair Driver QP
Find & Replace Driver window regulator
Replace coil-packs & wires.
Spark plugs
CV axles
Figure out where my car is leaking oil from
Replace bumpers (possibly a S2 bumper)
Possible Hub conversion (5 lug)
and..... Re upholster interior

=)

CRAZY_RUSSIAN

you got a nice list going on there man, i would highly recommend 034's a-arm bushings, you just barely notice and increase in noise and its one hell of an improvement in handling

audijsh2413

ok cool, thanks man...
I definately need to change them soon, after 45+ the car is all over the road.!
where the bushings have been pretty bad for awhile im assuming does it pose a risk that the A arms could have become ovalized at the mounting point?
