Message	My 93TT is in the shop. The initial diagnosis is that a bolt came loose from the flywheel. $1200+ to drop the transmission and make sure nothing else is jacked. Plus replace the starter is it was screwed when starting with the bolt (I think they did this when they started it for their diagnosis, but I can't be sure) $1200+ to replace 2 bad injectors. $840 to replace the other 4 while they are in there $1100 120K Timing belt and juices. $1300 to replace the knock sensor Total: <$6000 (I may not have all the numbers right, but I was told just under 6k) I can put down a nice payment and cover several months of payment for the 6K. How much are 93TT selling for nowadays? She is in fair shape. No rust, chipped paint on the front but 120K miles of wear on the seats and trim. CurtisP
