Wow, I missed this first pass, that W12 :gonk: and 4 timing chains?? what the gently caress, VAG?

Just remember you're King rear end in a top hat if you have the audacity to claim that VW/Audi make lovely cars.

I haven't heard anything particularly bad about VW ignition electronics, just the rest of the electronics.

Oh yeah, I forgot that you can basically point to anything on an A4/B5 car and it's going to fail and it's going to cost you $100.

e: to be fair to myself, I haven't really come across that many people complaining about the coilpacks in particular; it's usually at the end of a list of half a dozen things that are currently hosed on the car.

From the ChumpCar race this weekend.

6:45am - "Those pads have plenty of life, should last the day just fine"
2:45pm - "Getting some pretty bad brake fade guys, see if we have spare pads to toss in at the next pit stop"
3:00pm - "Ok brakes are poo poo but I'm going to try a few more laps, next driver suit up and get tools ready"
3:05pm - "I'm off, sitting in the gravel trap off turn 2. I'll be in as soon as the rescue truck pulls me out"




Tossed in new pads, fresh driver and finished up the race.

What car and pad?
