I totally agree with you on that. I just changed my ckp sensor and its not nearly as hard as other people were saying it was. In fact engine is really easy to work on once lock carrier is in service position, its the transmission that's practically inaccessible.

Default 96 A4, the battle rages on ...

So after changing the CTS, the bitch ran good for about a week. Now two nights ago, the temperature dropped to 7 degrees. The car was very hard to start, and when it did, I had to keep my foot on the gas for about five min. so it would not stall. Drove two-footed for another fifteen, then it would idle, and run smoother. Thoughts ????
