Default Talk to Josh at Achtuning in Redmond...

There is also a shop right next to Josh's called Autowerks, or something like that, that I've heard someone say they like. Whenever I'm at Achtuning I see Audis outside the Autowerks shop waiting to be worked on.

Default Ok, thanks, I'll do that - you are not the first person to recomend

Autowerks, so I guess it's time I take the plunge - I'll ask Josh about them too. What's the specs on your car? You over here in bellevue or....?

Default Ouch. Let me guess, you have to pull the whole engine?

Yummy. I think I would like to coordinate all me engine-pulling fixes, mods, etc to happen at the same time - just pull the engine once.

Ok, good, so at least it would probably be under $1000 or so - could be worse. :-)

Default My climate control is also stuck on "high", the up button works but not

the down button - so I can turn my temp up and up and up, but never down! Of course, now it's stuck on HI from trying to fix it. Maybe there would be some time savings in pulling that unit out along with the heater core? It seems to me that there should be a way to reset that damn thing back to whatever the default setting is, but everything I have tried so far (pulling the battery, swapping ECU's, etc) has not fixed it. The button feels fine and does not appear to be broken in any way or sticky, nothing has been spilled that I am aware of. If I pulled the whole unit out and let it sit the damn thing has GOT to reset at some point!!! It feels very much like the computer needs a reboot. :-) Suggestions?
