Default since I got the v8, I definatly work on it less..

most of the work I have been doing is elective.. eg nicer seats, door panels etc. it is nice. I definatly drive more than wrench.

Default Just pump that $3.19/gallon of gas in the tank and drive it.

Due for a timing belt in anothe 10K miles, debating whether to keep it or sell it. I have all the tools including the crank holding tool and the cam locking tool, but not sure I really want to do the work on a 16 year old car.

Default The Gotcha hidden bolt timing belt cover

There is one bolt which is hidden behind the serpertine belt tensioner which is a gotcha. You can see it above the punch that I used to hold the tensioner

Also see link for a good write up on changing the belt on www.audifans.com
