Cool project, I would like to check it out sometime. Where do you source all your parts from? Do you know Lester from Chamness Autobody? He has more VW and Audi parts then I have seen at one wrecker (mostly diesel).

labman

yes, I do know Lester. I will be making a quick trip out to his place in a few weeks. Most of the time my parts come from other wreckers across Canada, as I usually do not have time to go out there. I also have a couple good importer contacts for the Euro stuff.

I go out to lesters every couple weeks for parts for other people. I have to pick up a 1.9 tdi next trip if that might be the right time for you,let me know if your interested or need something picked up.

labman

thanks for the offer. I will keep that in mind. Do you run a shop in town?

I just play with VWs and my kids and most of their friends seem to drive TDIs. I just picked up my TT from Miami in Jan. of this year.So now I have added Audi to my new interests.If you have crappy under car work I do have a Hoist in my garage.
I am also curious about the Vag-Com. what type of stuff can you do with it.Diagnostics?

labman

Great to meet another VW nut. I just got my Audi in Jan 08 as well. Well, I have my laptop and cable in town today, and perhaps tomorrow. So if you want to check it out we can meet up. I am catching up with "new to quattro" this week. PM me with your name and phone number.

Hi guys, I just brought an Audi A4Q 1.8T about a month ago, and for some reason I found it actually sucks up quite a bit of fuel, In city I average out 17L-20L per 100km in city and about 15L per 100km for highway(really gentle driving and just get it oil change), my buddy in town drive a TT 1.8t Q he said he average about 10L-11L per 100km. I just wondering what the numbers are for you guys and any tip for more fuel efficient, would VAG-COM will work for this???

I don't have any idea what my mpg or km\L are I've only been driving it this summer and fairly hard,but labman is the vag-com guy he can probably answer your question about tuning with the program he has. I have a code reader if you want to check for any codes,I didn't have a engine light on but there was a couple codes there . Have you noticed black around your exhaust tip from running rich.

Hey All,

I am David and I too live in Saskatoon. I am new to this site and the Quattro world but I like to learn. Also like to meet fellow Audi fans here in the city. Especially since my A4 has a warning light on. Anybody like to do a scan?

But here is a little bit more on my Audi.
It is a 1999 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T. Black on Black Leather. It usually stands out because of the black rims that I have on it. I just bought it about 3 Months ago and I love it. I always wanted to buy one but now that I have one I live in an apartment and I haven't even opened the hood yet. Except when I took it in for an oil change.

Anyhow, looking forward to hear from you guys.
