Huuuge money pit that will make you bankrupt if you get a wrongun. Got for it!

[anthonys2]

HA HA already got 2 huge money pits not sure about a 3rd dont think the missus would approve!! I know these cars are superb when going right and cost massive when going wrong - just ive fancied one for bloody ages!!

say your prob lookin at 30hrs ish plus parts.

see what info they have as to why they think its the head gasket

[Jamo]

I love them, I fancy one, but after seeing the amout of work to keep them running, unless your a rich man they will break you!

Quattronutter at Bahnstorm is forever fixing them, make sure it has the audi warrenty or at least DRC has been replaced with coilovers.

BTW the water leak investigate will also cost big money due to the amount of time it takes to strip them, I watched and was like how many nuts, bolts??!!

The gap between running an S2 and S4 is big, the gap between a S4 and an RS6 is MASSIVE!
So I'll let you work out the gap between an S2 and RS6 :O

worst case you could spend 10k and still get your money back,

Oh yeah, keep your fingers crossed the torque convertor does'nt say goodbye

[Jamo]

Isn't it 7k for a new gearbox?

a new one yes, but doesnt mean you cant repair an old one

Owners on audisrs say you need approx 10k a year to run one, not including buying it OR fuel!

I think I have averaged about £1000 - £1500 a year over the last 6 years to run my S2 (not including tax, ins and fuel...)

There's a runner on there for a grand more.

spoke to the guy this morning, leak test confermed head gasket, but still runs and hasnt overheated.
