RE: Any one know this S4...??? - Ao03 YST

Definitely the right move, I do some what wish I'd bought an Avant for practicality reasons (again MTB) but just the fact I have a car with that engine in is good enough for me Things you may have picked up on if you've been over the forums even briefly...fuel...and oil...two things will never buy i...

a friend of mine sees this car on a very regular basis; never fails to tell me how jealous he is...esp as he only drives a works van

Well I believe the parts breakdown to be in the region of Clutch - 300-350 DMF - 600-700 Release Bearing - 50-100 Labour - 8.5hrs (this is the quote Audi workshop timing) (think Unit20 charge 45p/hour - which is considerably less than HALF my local dealership, who incidently won't work on my car any...

RE: Re: RE: High Octane Fuel

I ALWAYS use V-Power or Tesco99...my anal-retentiveness for fuel snobbery is that bad I have POIs in the SatNav just incase I need fuel quickly, which is pretty much most of the time, I'd like to think there's a fuel leak but I know it's something to do with the 4.2 bit written on the plastic mouldi...

SOLUTION!

Well I found out what the problem was...the car is now on 129k and the problem was getting more frequent when driving the car hard I just happened to have taken a job in the North West and thought it worth my time seeing Unit20. I'd also done a little research about gearboxes, clutches and flywheels...

I'm based in Gloucestershire - but to be honest, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here...there's nothing better than driving the S4 - so anywhere between here and Poland is fair game for getting work done I'll Google those companies I'm hoping to get over to the stealership tomorrow...it's always a...

S4 (B6) - Odd Noise, High Revs

I've got a bit of an odd 'problem' with my S4, anyone got any ideas on the following... After a while of being driven hard, coming into 6-7k RPM range, there's an EXTREMELY deep rumble, doesn't sound mechanical, the gearing works fine, pulls like a train still, no slippage...and the noise can be rec...
