Good-bye AudiWorld

I've been an avid AW forum member since bringing home my first Audi, about 5 years ago. The change to the vB formatted forums is terrible, and a huge mistake.

I will not return unless AW decides...

I may. I hate to see the great C4 knowledge base get scattered to the wind though. I felt like our forum was not only able to help "ourselves," it was equally adept at helping new comers.

Okay, seriously. Is our C4 platform FAQ's gone? I'm not ready to start throwing sh!t yet, but if our FAQ's are gone I will be.

This is really pissing me off.

I'm sure it needs a new starter too. But the failure is probably just brushes worn to nothing left.

Man, what a bummer. Some thoughts...

Here's what I would do.

With a coolant system pressure tester, I'd hook up to the coolant tank and pump the system up to 16psi and leave it like that for 10min or so and see what the pressure...

The problem though is that we are all buying cars with 100k+ on them. The damage is done.

There's already 10 years worth of potential "damage" been done to the radiators. Generally, coolant is recommended to be replaced every 2 years and the system completely flushed. Who ever does...

So you can replace the dust boots from "inside" the same way you'd install strut inserts.

Something to consider about these turbulator style radiators

The tubes aren't just hollow tubes. They have fins inside that are designed to slow down the flow of coolant, so it stays in the radiator longer, for better heat transfer.

It was a tough diagnosis, especially with the temp gauge always staying rock solid on "normal"

That, and around our local area, even on the 35mi drive to and from my inlaws, the car would be fine, year round.

Hey stoner boy. Quit posting the same question umpteen times & delete your post from the FAQ's

When you're done with the crack pipe and want to act like an adult. Come on back and we'll be glad to help you.

Otherwise, take your 420 enriched brain and head over to the Honda forums.
