And new plugs. Old set was @104k miles. Not too bad for access. "6 extension, quick move of the cabin water valves (lift) and move of washer reservoir (disconnect one washer line, 2 x 10mm nuts and lift). Old plug set does not look bad but gap is nearly 2x.

Nice Josh. Those are great cars. Does the tag say S5? Or did you pick up an S4? Those things drive awesome. Parts are $$$ though. I agree pics are necessary.

Thanks guys. It is a S5. I don't have much for pictures yet, been too busy driving. It's Daytona grey (Audi exclusive color) on magma red with a 6spd. It's pretty mint, especially for an 08. It only has 67k miles and every option.

^ nice by the way.
well I replaced water pump and pulley (metal water pump, metal pulley), thermostat because my temp needle would barely make it to center ,stayed on cold side even in the summer, now its dead center so I`m hoping the x warms up quicker this winter. only replaced the water pump for preventive maintenance and glad I did ,starting to get bearing play. checked heater hoses still solid including o rings, rad so far so good. pullys still nice and tight including belt tensioners . looked up by the ofh and notice oil dripping from it over the years. I got a ofhg on order and will do it next year. not losing any oil between oil changes ,so it can`t be that bad. tell you the truth it was a lot easier than expected. but compared to chevs (80`s) to work on, just double your time. not hard work at all, just time consuming. the above items were replaced at 215250km
