No bro, i seriously wish you well. The only persons who can advise you further are those already in the business. But I suspect you'll have to raise that car to allow it carry more load and also reduce your visits to the mechanic for suspension related issues.

that is the Audi A4 2.0ALT engine..... slow to pick up but durable....
manual transmission means a DMF dual mass flywheel, you should not be tempted to change it to SINGLE MASS FLYWHEEL. Very compact car, ac is a mad one, eskimo standard, alloy wheels, ensure you have easy acess to replacement parts like the door controls, they tend to go bad over time, and the two CTS especially the one close to the firewall it can cause a no start condition.... gbedu is mad, interior of this 2002 is better built than a 2015 corolla toyota..... no kidding....

Be very careful. Very very careful. Again be careful. EPC ABS lights may just be due to a faulty or dirty wheel speed sensor.

Now as regards the fluids be very careful..... You may just ruin your car.

If your car is the American model contact radautoworks.

Thank you bro.

How do i know if its american or not. The vw site will only show u car info from 2011 upwards.
The car has been parked for sometime and most of the visible fluid containers are pactically empty. Which I why I believe that if I use the right fluids for all fiuld-related areas of the car, I will have reduced or eliminated the possible issues and signs on the dashboard.

Again, I need to know if its American? Can you help? Its a 2006 passat FSI 2.0t engine. 91k milage. Engine is still perfect.
