Got the 3sgte lifted and off the large pallet and placed on a smaller one that I can use the hoist with to lift.
Was quite difficult as a one man job, being the pallet was so big, I couldn't put both legs of the hoist down. Ended having to use a giant hilium tank for a counterweight, and then pull the pallet out, and drop the other leg...was quite interesting. So I'll come back next week, remove the AWD trannie, get it up for sale, put the block on the stand, and get it ready for transport to the new house. When all the fun begins =) |

The final hours. She'll be picked up to goto the junk yard in less than 24 hours. Slightly scrambling to get parts off, but once the sun calms down the remainder interior items needed will be removed.
Its been a journey, and I never thought I would be so attached to vehicle, especially one that is now relative scrap...may sound futile to some...but this is the car I've learned everything I know now on, and my first 6gc...like how you never forget your first love =P     As you can see, not much is going to waste. She'll live on, in many other Celicas. Please excuse my corny post =P |

I'm done after this... CEL every 2 months, NO JOKE. Bought it at 50k, all maintenance has been done. Just last weekend, window motor died.. Random electrical problems all over the place, and now this possible oil sludge problem?! I love the cars on paper and the styling is absoleutly beautiful. And they do feel great to drive, but they are so freaking problematic and Audi customer service blows. Lastly, they suck to work on for the most part. And soooo much money. But have fun with it . The B7's are nice, I've never driven an avant or 6 speed but i have driven the 2.0t in a a3 and a4 sedan.Electricals can be a pain in the butt, I had to rewire part of my 1.8T motor's harness. But i'm familiar with VW/Audis and can do all my own work so its not a biggy. If you're running into a sludge issue, run some seafoam in that sucker. What Audi is it and what oil are you running? It's a 2005 Audi A4 1.8t. I use Mobil 1 synthetic every time with a Mobil 1 filter, every 3-5k miles. I think it is sludge, because I got the good ol' oil pressure light come on then almost instantly off without being low on oil.. Although it could be electrical because randomly sometimes the ebrake light will come on then off while I am driving..and I keep replacing my ECT sensor, then a month later the CEL comes back on for the exact same sensor! Its literally driving me crazy, lol. I do all of the work on it, I just don't have the time to drop the subframe, oil pan, etc. to replace the pickup line (if thats even what it is), which equals $$. You think Seafoam would work for it? I've been reading that it could, it just sketches me out.. Just like 1/3 a can? Who would have thought I'd have a 2005 Audi A4 and a 1995 Toyota Celica and the more reliable one would be the Celica that is an inch off the ground with 220,000 miles on it?! Lol.. It's Toyota.....lol and it's Japanese. Of course it'll be more reliable

Maybe blow through the vacuum nipples as well on tg TB. That might help.
