A question where you may can help me. I've some water in my Trunk, where the spare tire lays. Its not much and i cant seem to find where its coming from, you may have same experience + solution? What i thought it could come from the taillights but idk.
I had that problem actually If you open up the trunk and look at the left side where the shock is fastened and all of that, you will see a seam in the body going from the rear window and down. That seam had cracked open although you couldn't see it, making water leak into the spare wheel area. So I got some body sealer along that seam and it didn't leak anymore after that --- Post updated --- EDIT: Make sure you remove the carpet and wipe the area dry, both the carpet and the spare wheel well. These Audis aren't really prone to rust that much but I would suggest cleaning up the mess anyway
Not significantly. I searched for over a year on why water was getting into the trunk. Then I got the idea, maybe there was a microscopic crack on that body seam I was talking about. And apparently the water was getting in there somehow.
When two panels overlap, they get spot-welded together. These spots are only about 5mm in diameter and are usually spread a few centimetres apart. With age and/or damage, the entire body of the car can flex very slightly, meaning the panels don't sit as they did from factory. Assuming the panels are undamaged, this does not affect the rigidity of the vehicle as the spot welds are still holding tight. Sealer is usually applied over the overlap to prevent corrosion perforation and contaminant intrusion, such as water and dirt. Audi body panels are double galvanised for extra rust immunity because master race (Y) Speaking of Audi and water where it shouldn't be, my HVAC chamber blocked up, so condensation from the A/C flooded my passenger footwell again LOL
Hell yeah. I did a rolling first gear burn out in front of a cop today. I didn't stay to see what they thought about it.
Never seen green oil yet. I pushed my bike inside from the garage today and I'll probably drain the oil tomorrow and change the filter and put new oil over the weekend. I don't really have space to do all that in the garage because there's 4 other bikes as well.

I've never seen one fail that sucks. Are they made purposefully to he difficult to separate from the throttle body like they are on hondas? We have to Dremel slots into the screws because they have a blank face.
Your car needs more love! I think it's beautiful! Those wheels and he colours are stunning! Today I finally got this in. I'm about ready for Brands Hatch:
Mmmm.... I think exhaust tips are in my future. How good it sounds with the tips actually pointing out instead of into the ground. The next question is, Resonated tips or nah. But the REAL next question is, do I keep modding the Marq and keep it another year or do I start saving up for the Leggy GT.
