Hello all
Has anyone gone down the route of total refurbishment and have any idea of the costs involved? I’ve had this blue A4 2.6 since Jan 2002 and it still my daily drive. This old girl has notched up 315000 miles without any rebuilds, just the normal servicing, suspension and bushes. She is tired, looks great but has lost a lot of power, has a leak at the engine/grearbox interface, gear changes are getting clunky but still plods on. The engine uses very little oil and the only rot is a blister at the top of the windscreen possibly from a stone chip. I bought a second car 4 years ago but couldn’t part with the old faithful. I’d love to get her back to up to to decent power and generally have a good freshen up. I’m in the UK, Crewe area and wandered if there’s any specialist or enthusiasts that would have any thoughts of starting points and what can be achieved with part availabilies. Appreciate any advice or help.

Ha. Yet another Kev! The advert wasn’t mine I just stumbled upon it.
My old girl is a saloon with 310 000 miles and daily driver for the past 20 years until recently. Still look great. Never been able to get rid, just too good, 😂😂. -

Hi Gareth
Thank you. It is just a thought, maybe a dream so I was interested to hear from people who’ve actually done a renovation. Maybe I’ve been watching too much “Wheeler Deeler” 😂. I’ve been running around in it this week and unbelievably it’s still a strong car. I’ll keep it ticking along and maybe peck away at some bits whilst keeping a watch on the purse strings.
was it an Audi that you’ve restored previously? Thank you for your thoughts.
