Re: a response....

Its been my past experience with cars that have this type of e-brake set-up in the rear, they typically fail before 100k. I hear you, the timing is usually never great. If and when your doing rear...

Sounds like its coming time for new rear calipers. They are not terribly robust in design. I replaced the pair on the 30v awhile back along with all the hoses. They were not very pricey if memory...

Had a similar experience awhile back. We have a neighbor up north who runs a business in LR restoration/repair. The word I got from him for series 1 trucks was, the 1998 was the best year to buy due...

1) ABS issue- clean the sensors and make sure the calipers are not sticking in anyway(fresh fluid, not binding on carriers or pins)
2)P/S issue- flush the fluid and clean out the resv tank filter....

No. The earlier B5's had the Bosch 5.0 version, whereas the later cars had the 5.3. The production date of your car must be quite close to the B6 line, ie early change over. I would just get the unit...

Nice, congrats.....

I'll bet the bill on that new suspension was worth more then 2k alone. There are a number of MT allroads I see hit CL here in the PNW but they are usually 03-04s. My guess was, cars coming off lease...

There is a reason allroads are cheap. They are exceedingly pricey to keep running. Maybe it will inherit the old Maserati Biturbo nickname, "double trouble". Personally, I like the car/suv, but one...

Yes, I know they are a one time use. I'm just not one of those who like's to push something upon other's, hence the suggested replacement.
I'm not generally a fan of aftermarket kits. They tend...

No, I'm talking about the car sitting for a year or two. I've seen on engines that have poor grounds where there was evidence of arcing. We all know how wonderful the wiring can be in these cars. ; )...

I find SS hoses/lines are more a benefit for track or autoX events. Even then, as others have said, most are not DOT approved. We've got a set on one of the porsches and as you've said(or noticed) it...

That's an old pic. The seats get an annual cleaning with lexol or leatherique products. The grey leather always looks mildly dull. As soon as the weather warms up some, I'll embark on a another...

Most code standards are a joke(or the level of inspection is), though the ones up in BC are some of the more serious I've come across(very progressive). I've used that level sub-flooring where there...

It has awful integrity compared to say, 3/4 sheets of interior or exterior(depending on the app) grade ply. This is when you want a floor that does not move or bounce. We would not even use that type...

Hence the term "I believe". The A4 ones are pretty hard, at least the one I just installed were. There was very little flex, if at all in them(metal frame inside).Yes, your probably right that the S4...

Looks like there is more to come on the radar. Nothing like another blast of winter to slow down car projects. I might be out shoveling instead.
