anywhere but the dealer (or an Audi dealer).

I do not have the stands to change it myself. I really need convenience, though.

WWAWF do?

don't know if they will work on your car but your welcome to try them. My car is too low to use them.

My dad gave my brother the shaggin waggon (Mercury Sable wagon with the trundle seat and everything.) so we won't be needing the van, unfortunately.

Damn wagon dripped oil on my driveway already. Ford V6's seems to always leak.

the van's throttle cable is stuck now. The RPMs are either too low or redlining. We're going to have to get it towed and fixed...then it's outty here.

only at the first point of pressing it and the issue went away with some throttle body cleaner. It also went away when the engine was warm.

I doubt it's a serious problem for what it is worth.

There is a place over here right next to Winn Dixie HQ that takes radiators with holes and patches and pressure checks them. I had this done on my Buick in the late 80's and it lasted at least 30K miles. If you felt like DIY'ing the radiator that's an option.
