Breaking B6 S4 Saloon Manual Gearbox - 53 Reg

Post by nickb834 » Wed Apr 16, 2014 11:05 am

Well the timing chains have snapped on my B6 S4 Saloon, so I'm breaking the car.

You wouldn't want the engine (though the ancilliaries are fine) or the front wings but otherwise the car is complete.

Car is LZ9W paint code, saloon manual, with full recaro leather interior - front seats heated, electrically adjustable, and carbon trim to the doors, dash, gear surround etc.

Give me a prod if you want any parts off it.

Wanted: C5 RS6 Avant

Audis are cheaper than women, and when they finally leave they don't take your kids and half your stuff....
although smack either one about and the police turn up ;-)

Sorry to hear that Nick. Got to be every V8 S4 owners nightmare. Is it not cost effective to repair?

Now on to te vulture questions... What colour dash is it, what condition and how much do you want for the glovebox?

Cheers

Lol - god no - if I could get an engine it'd be 4 grand ish, plus the labour and plus the timing chain kit you ought to put on - car is only worth 5k (needs new wings for eg).

Dash is black with carbon trim, glovebox has a broken damper (don't they all ?!?)

Broken just like yours I guess :-) IIRC the ones like mine with the coolbox in are a different part no to standard - so probably aren't any good unless you have the same?

Yeah I have coolbox and 6CD. But thanks for your honesty. I'll take one via the forum if one crops up. But I have no interest paying a fortune buying one over ebay (including pricey postage) to find the lid facial is scratched and / or the hinges are broken and glued.
