If the car is losing coolant, ask them to check the seals between the sump and the block. I had a secondary rad changed in mine as it was said to have leaks in it. also the water pump was replaced. After this it still leaked :( In the end an audi technician looked at it and diagnosed a 50p seal that...

Definately try and get one with a solar sunroof. Great in the summer as the roof powers the fans (not the climate). This means the car is coolish when you open the doors and not blisteringly hot as per normal. Also means the leather seats don't get too hot either, so you can sit on them without burn...

well after 5 months and no joy with my B6 S4 i've decided to walk away from Audi ownership for a while. I was a committed Audi owner having bought 4 audi's over the past 8 years. Shame i was about to buy an RS4, but the problems i have had with the 4.2 v8 block in 19K miles is just not worth it. I'm...

sorry...should have read "mad about it".....actually i'm not just mad....i'm chuffin mad. Audi CS is hiding at the moment behind the dealer. Am about to get my lawyer to write to both the dealer and Audi UK and drag 'em in to court. Anyone know the name of someone senior at Audi UK who will actually...

been of the chat room for a while.....cos.......still have not got the car back from earlier in the year....and i'm made about it.

got the car back today.. Boy is it nice to have 344 bhp under your right foot. Managed to give myself a fright tonight in the dark on a country road whilst doing a "shake down test" to make sure nothing falls off. problem is that the left hand exhaust is about 4 inches lower than the right hand side...

engine back in car.....gearbox connected.....just 2 more days till (a) i get my car back (b) i get to talk to Audi CS re: compensation.

I hope no-one ever has this problem.....i have been without my car for 8 weeks so far in 2005.....and its only the end of march!

seems i'm not the only one to experience this problem. I wonder if Audi really know how to service high performance cars........they certainly don't keep parts for them. I have experienced BMW and Porsche first hand in the past and when you do suffer problems they are much quicker to deal with the p...

now in week 6. Stealer just called to say, sump off, found problem, fixed it......and whoops, we had to take more parts of engine to complete job.....and we don't have any gaskets in stock to fit. So the engines in bits. Yep, 2nd time we have had to get parts for S4 from germany. Good news is the de...

been 4 weeks now....and still not fixed

I had a leak - went into dealer. Thought it was a split pipe or a crack in the reservoir. In the end the dealer replaced a water pump and one of the small rads. Got it back on a friday. Didn't use the car much over the weekend, then monday night came out of work. Coolant alarm on! Yikes. Looks at co...

Anyone experienced coolant leaks on the 4.2 V8 block?
