[Public-List] engine replacement

[mahseer at kos.net]

Mark.

There are a lot of good mechanics in Ontario who can rebuild your A4 for a
lot less than $6,000.  I am in Belleville and our local Carquest dealer
did mine for $1500 labour, I purchased all parts from Moyer for about
$1500 delivered.  Look around you might be surprised whats out there.
