2003 Audi Atlas A4 Avant - Build thread

Post by Mikewire »

Image

I have my garage thread but I think it's time I make a thread for the Audi. I drive it daily, so it gets a majority of maintenance in the fleet of vehicles we have, which deems it a continuous project :laughing:

As far as mods go, all of them are listed here. So from here on out, I'll list updates and maintenance.

It was time to get new motor mounts in. I knew the passengers side mount was blown and leaking fluid, and it was bugging me hearing the engine clunk around so I pulled the trigger on some 034 Motorsports solid street density motor mounts and an Apikol snub mount.

Crappy cell phone pic: Image

I won't bore anyone with the install DIY, but basically jack up the motor, unbolt the old ones, and put the new ones in. Here's a few pics of the differences in the snub mount.

Old snub:

OEM worn out vs. Apikol new:

I also have an oil change coming up, and thanks to Wade, I have some Amsoil in my garage:

Wade, in a few weeks I'll need to get another box of quarts for the Jetta. And I still need to settle up with you :beer:

Finally...no CEL!

For the last two years roughly I have had CEL for various things, mainly my SAI and EGR and vac line delete. I got sick of seeing that yellow lamp and got the parts I needed to re-install the combi valve and SAI parts. Plus a new B1:S2 o2 sensor and two pin coolant temp sensor. And swapped out to winter wheels and tires.

Now I need to pick up an oil level sensor that just shit the bed and I'll be in the clear for a bit.

Broke 150k on the way to work this morning. Running strong and pushing 20psi daily while getting 28+ mpg.

Haha, yup! Daily too, but I either need new tires or it's time to trade/swap/buy new summer wheels.
