Just got my S4 today!!!

Post by a6khu » Sun Apr 04, 2010 8:06 pm

After weeks of searching, I've finally got my blue S4 Cab.

it's a tiptronic with 29000 miles on it. I drove it from London to Edinburgh so a bit tired to take and post pics but will do so soon.

One thing that I wanted to ask was about the emission control light.

It came on whilst I was on the M6 and hasn't gone out. WIll have it checked at the dealer but from doing a search on the forum, it sounds like this has only happened once before to a member. Anyone else suffered from this? any risk to the engine or other parts?
Engine was a bit hesitant when it developed but for the rest of the 250 miles, it was as smooth as silk. Please give me your opinions but I'm guessing faulty lambda sensor and hope not a faulty engine!!!
I read that these are reliable so hopefully a glitch but the 450 mile drive home was fab. I love this car already!!!!!! Thanks for all your help by the way.
