Hi,
I've just bought a 2005 S4 in sprint blue.
Lovely car but quiet as hell inside haha.
I noticed a bit of whining from the engine as i'm driving along, nothing excessive but I can still hear it (no supercharger unfortunately) any ideas what it could be??
Also, how many sprint blue S4's are there in the UK, roughly??
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum
I had a 2005 S4 with tiptronic box the whining could be an idler pulley or belt. Hard to guess without hearing it tbh.

Sorry, should have mentioned, it's a manual.

Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
Still could be a load of different things. Does the noise stop when you press the clutch ? If so it could be the clutch bearing.

Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
I'll check tomorrow.
Getting it serviced tomorrow so I will get them to have a little look.
Is sprint blue a desirable colour on the S4? There's like one for sale and that's it.

Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
Each to their own taste my S4 was sprint blue and I traded it in for a sprint blue RS4
I think it's the best colour. Get it detailed and machine polished and you'll be impressed how deep the shine is.

Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
I really want those wheels. I don't think the standard S4 ones look good.
Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
Anybody recognise this car??
Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
No, but that Lambo 
Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
I was after an S4 before deciding to buy the RS4. Looks like a good example, how many miles and good s.history?
Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
Haha, Lambo is my business partners.
Its done 73k with 'alright' history. It has a few Audi stamps, then a random garage, then quick fit (£1200 somehow) and then it is being serviced tomorrow.
Drives great tho. I've been driving a diesel A3 for the last month so nice to be back to something nippy.

Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
Sprint FTW! 
There's quite a few sprints up here, avants and saloons.
You got any plans for your car?

Re: New sprint blue S4 owner
I'm getting rid of the horrible orange bits in the headlights.
Would like some different wheels but as I have a year to save for my wedding, I probably shouldn't. lol.
