Hello CC.
I see you’ve already received advice from others on rebuilding vs replacing your A4. To help you estimate costs, I will PM you my spreadsheet of all the parts (with MMI catalog numbers) I purchased during my rebuild. My bottom line was higher than Wristwister’s, and shows how my costs crept up as I replaced more than was truly needed. Let me know if you want my more detailed notes on the job and I’ll PM them as well.
Al, Neil and others note that much will depend on the condition of your A4 and how you intend to use it. Don Moyer gives guidance on this in the rebuild chapter of his A4 manual. Also to be factored in are the (possible) satisfaction of knowing your engine well and the self-reliance that comes with that.
If you do decide to go the rebuild route, I can assure you that this forum has the knowledge base needed for even a novice like myself to complete the job.
Best regards,
Jack
