Audi God, why don't you just kill me instead?

[Albert Ng <alng@purdue.edu>]

Hello AudiFans,


Honestly, this is probably the worst experience I've ever had with my Audi.
This week is my finals week, and my beloved car started falling apart all 
the sudden. If it broke after this week. Fine. If it broke one or two 
things after this week. Still Fine with me. 

But why it broke three things in a row during the very end of my 
semester??? My 5kcst only has ~11k miles, is this mean it's about time to 
send it to junk yard?

Actually, this is not what made me angry. The thing that pissed me right 
off is all three broken items were replaced just two years ago. 

Alternator(2 years old), Bosch reman' from dealer. Thought it will last 
forever but....Now, it makes very loud knocking noise and not putting out 
enough chagre. 

All metal Rad(2 years old), CSF from Audionly. Thought it will never 
leak, but after a big bump this morning.....you can guess the answer.

Waterpump(2 years old), replaced by my mechinac when I was still living at 
S.F. He said it will never leak coolant again. HaHa, what a joke.


When the water pump first leak, I was still thinking to repair it either 
by my self or dealer. But, now, I really don't know what should I do. 
You know, keep replacing rad, water pump, alternator, ps pump, rack 
every two years is a very scary thing.

P.S Thank you very much for those list member who gave me the water pump 
advice couple weeks ago. I was very busy at that time so I didn't reply 
to guys.
