Should I fix 06 Audi a3

Asked by GuruZ29X8 Nov 24, 2017 at 01:05 PM

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My daughters 06 A3 needs replacement cam shaft.  It has
126000 miles and I am being told approx. 2-5000 to fix
depending on if it needs a complete new engine.  She
wants to roll over the balance into a new car because she
was told by a friend that it is just going to be a money pit
now and not worth fixing.  Seems like a lot of money to
rollover.

She owes 7000, dealer said they would give her 700... ☹️

This is why I do not recommend used Audi's especially to people with limited budgets. Live and learn! A used engine might be a solution to your problem. Rolling over the debt will make her next car payments HUGE.

Who told you what the engine needed? Skip the dealer and go to a good independent Audi shop.
