S5 timing chain - real problem?

Hi all, Ive just sold my 911 as the engine let go, so im a bit emotional and once bitten twice shy kind of mood. I was originally looking at chopping it in for a fast Audi, and ive just always loved the shape of the S5. So, I was about to start the long search for the right spec, and then I came acr...

Re: Make the change from a 911?

I do love the B5 RS4 but as a daily want something a bit newer, and V8...... I still take the kids, wife and puppy in the porka everywhere but things like not able to take the 911 on the family ring trip and having to take the boring car isn't thrilling me. Porka will go on the lads Ring trip this y...

Re: Make the change from a 911?

haha yes it is downsizing but as she just bimbles around town every now and again the kids will fit into a fiat and she no longer wants a big car (bang goes the idea to just get a Rangey). So I'll then have the family car as I don't want to keep the current diesel one. Hence me chopping the porka in...

Re: Make the change from a 911?

Right, so April update - still no change.... Been so hectic the wife hasn't asked about the 500 since January so ive kept my head down and fitted a load of new parts to the porka. But sadly her car went into the garage for its service and she was given a little corsa - then all weekend proclaimed ho...

Re: Make the change from a 911?

Thanks everyone, lots of great advice. I certainly do need to get behind the wheel of one before I go any deeper I think. I have the 911 as my daily, lots of family trips in it with the two kids in the back, and my wife has the dirty diesel motorway trawler / take to the shops car. Im now looking to...

Re: Make the change from a 911?

Oh wow thanks guys! That's some incredibly useful information!! :bowdown: I thought service history was paramount on the 911, sounds even more so on the RS6! lol im sure 730bhp is enough to get down the road :beerchug: will certainly put a new slant on "family fun bus" Im In Southampton and would be...

Re: Make the change from a 911?

Thanks for the advice, will certainly take heed! Haha 8 bags of cement on the passenger seat of your 911, brilliant! I also have a 996. £800 servicing is kind of what I was thinking - prior to the mrs wanting a 500 ive been eyeing a 997 C2s, also £800 service. 996 is just insanely cheap to maintain,...

Re: Make the change from a 911?

Arr shame about your experiences, hopefully its all sorted and that's the end of it. I only have a 3 mile commute to the office so I go for a longer drive on the way home, lots of use evening and weekends so I average around 6-8k miles a year. In the RS6 itll be used a lot more and I know the motorw...

Make the change from a 911?

Hi all, I am a Newbie :bigwave: I currently have a 911 which is my daily while my wife has the big sensible dirty diesel. She keeps pestering me for a Fiat 500 now as our 2 toddlers have outgrown the clumbersome buggy taking up the boot space...... so means my turn to have a big family car :D So its...
