B7 S4 Engine re-design?

[B6S4John]

Iv'e just been looking on "What car" site and it say's the B7 S4 has a re-designed engine? what do you know?

Not that I was aware of. Just a facelift I thought. I've heard that they may drop in a FSI version in the future i.e. before B8 but don't know how much truth there is in it.

from what i have heard here in South Africa, the B7's engine has just been moved back a bit so that the car can breathe SLIGHTLY better, and to give the car a better centre of gravity.
thats the only thing they have done with the engine.

other than that it is exactly the same.

hope it helps.

I was wondering if they had changed back to a 4 valves per cylinder design (as they have with the RS4) and changed the cam chain gear?????

The Q7 is getting the FSI 4.2 from the off, so I guess it can't be long before the rest of the range sees it.

Re the S4, no one seems to know if the 'new' 40:60 drive split is actually on the car yet. Anyone?
