[QUOTE="fabianyee, post: 244129, member: 6"] The Audi A4 from B5 - B7 has its engine and gearbox mounted longitudanally similar to BMWs or any RWD cars BUT instead of driving the rear wheels, Audi drives the front wheels.. so this forced the engine to be mounted more to the front. The new A5 has a newer design which allows the engine to sit further back, or so i read.. The gearbox in the A4 B5 1.8 NA isn't as durable as the 1.8T. which explains why the price difference.. Go research around for prices of wear and tear items. then make your own decision on the purchase... 1 thing I know is expensive is the replacement for the front multilink suspension parts. Happy hunting. [/QUOTE]
