Haha, I hope so! The wife drove it back from SoDak and wants to make it her daily driver...oi And yeah, sounded like the main issue with the suspension is the pump needing a refurb, which is no biggie. Being in winter salt country, Ill remember to check those actuators out when I tear into everything next week.

You guys are scaring me! Also, from what I have read, it sounds like the Porsche air shocks are a hell of alot more robust than the Rover. Is that not the case?

The $1500 was just the parts cost to replace the front control arms and coils/shocks all around. I did not mention the multiple oil leaks, slow coolant loss, and broken auxiliary fan (overheats with AC on in the summer) or the fact it had 170k and the 2.7 turbo is NOT the most long-term-reliable engine. The only regret is getting rid of a 6-speed manual :P

Hey Everyone, The ol' 2001 Audi A6 was gonna need about $1500 in parts and a couple weekends of my spare time, so the wife and I decided it was time to move on. Was looking for something fun, pretty roomy, pretty reliable and DIY-firendly. After a bunch of research on the 2 "renn" forums, I decided on a 2004 CTT with 120k miles. Before you laugh at me getting a Porsche for reliability, I come from the DIY Land Rover world and consider an old Discovery a reliable vehicle :D Anyway, the new ride has had the coolant pipes and fuel pump done. Have to do the front rotors and pads and deal with a brake booster fault (pedal feels fine, so hopefully just a cracked hose), but other than that she seems pretty solid. Just wanted to say hi and happy to be here!
