Hello,
New to the forums and looking for some input from the engine gurus. This topic may have been covered here but I am considering a purchase of a 2008 V8 with >100k. The price is quite reasonable as the idle is pretty rough. Once moving it smooths out and seems to run just fine. From what I have read this could be everything from coil packs, fuel pump, timing chain issues?
I have been a loyal VW/Audi owner for years, never any experience with this engine. I was able to hook up the VAG COM and scan codes. Will include those in another post. Is this thing worth considering or should I run the other way? I would be comfortable putting 2-3k to get this thing up to par but obviously don't want to lose my tail on it either. Any thoughts?
