My new 05 gli

**DUBBIN414** · 03-30-2012 11:42 PM

So my uncle sold me his gli because the timing belt went out in it and he didn't want to mess with fixing it so I bout it for $3000 and I am going to get it fixed for hopefully around a thousand. The car is a 2004.5 and it has 90k miles car is really clean except for the dent he put in it towing it to me

but all good I will get her looking good.
My plans are: chip, intercooler, k04, and exhaust.
Exterior: air ride, fix dent and some sick a** wheels I'm not really sure on the wheels yet but I have been looking.
I will get pics up soon.

**DUBBIN414** · 03-31-2012 12:05 AM

Nice dent I know thanks to my uncle

it will be fixed after its out of the shop.

My 99 Audi a4 with 80k miles wit some mild upgrades.

**r3coil** · 03-31-2012 01:03 PM

**Doctor Meat Does Housecalls** · 03-31-2012 02:47 PM

That is a steal.

**DUBBIN414** · 04-01-2012 01:23 PM

Right! Just a couple days ago I talked to him and he said that he was going to look at another one, I just laughed at him. Yea he regrets selling it.

**matty675** · 04-02-2012 04:05 PM

If you're getting rid of the wheels, Ill buy them!

**DUBBIN414** · 04-02-2012 05:35 PM

its alway possible, if so i will hit you up.

**matty675** · 04-03-2012 12:00 AM

sounds good man!

**DUBBIN414** · 04-03-2012 12:05 PM

My car should be going to the shop next week! She so sad just sitting there.

**DUBBIN414** · 04-04-2012 10:18 PM

So I'm having secant thoughts on my cars timing belt being out in it. I have done a little research and I took the timing belt cover off and the belt looks decent it's not torn or anything like that and it's got a little play in it and that should be normal beings it has 90000 miles on it right?

My uncle said when it happened or whatever happened he was driving down the highway and the car just stopped running, no noise, no clanking or anything like that. So he rolled to a stop, called the tow truck and he sent it to the shop where they "said" they took one of the spark plugs out and ran a camera down and they said that some valves where messed up.

But how can that be when he heard no noises? I talked to a local shop and they said it kind of sounds like a fuel pump?

Please thoughts, opinions?

**DUBBIN414** · 04-06-2012 11:45 AM

So here she is waiting for the tow truck. She is going to get fixed!!

yea I know she is super dirty but she has been sitting.

But I got the interior nice and clean.

I will update when I know what's wrong with it. I'm Praying that it's nothing big!!

**DUBBIN414** · 04-06-2012 01:46 PM

There she goes!

**-EuroDub-** · 04-06-2012 07:54 PM

**DUBBIN414** · 04-06-2012 11:50 PM

So what was the problem? I'm betting the timing belt. Just because the belt is in one piece does not mean that:
1. Multiple teeth are missing, allowing pulleys to free spin and jump timing
2. Tensioner busted, allowing it spin timing
3. Crankshaft timing belt pulley keyway sheared, allowing it skip timing

It doesn't really make a noise when something like that happens, the car just dies. If you plug a scanner into the car you likely have a cam position sensor code, which in this situation is key sign of timing belt trouble.

Doubt it. Read above.

Good luck. With a shop doing the work it's going to be about 1500ish...

**DUBBIN414** · 04-12-2012 01:00 PM

Sorry took a while to get back been pretty busy at work.

Yep deff the timimg belt

should be done within a couple weeks, the shop is pretty busy. I was really hoping that it wouldnt be the timing belt but oh well I got it dirt cheap and with the timimg belt and the price of the car I only paid 4300$ not bad for what its wroth.

I will get some pics when I go to the shop.

I have really been contemplating redoing the Rc's but I'm not sure what I want to do with them Yet. I know for now I'm going to clean the hell out of them.

**Slverjet** · 04-23-2012 04:08 PM
