repairs! I really like this car, but there's always some little thing going wrong with it. On the CURRENT list of repairs is an oil leak, a front transaxel leak, misfires on cylinder 5, a flaky EGT and an occasional "limp" mode.

It's not that these parts costs so much, it's just the time it takes to fix all this stuff (and I have all the tools).

I keep asking myself why not go get a new car? But the S4 just seems to do it all very well for my needs as a daily driver. AND it's cheaper to fix than getting a new car with less performance (I guess that's why I'm "addicted").

Anyway, just had to rant a little here, I've had a rough day...

I've already done control arms/TRE's and TB is done too. That was from the list last year.

I'm ordering the Febi kit, is that what you went with?

S4's are crack. I know, I have had this damn thing for almost 6 years.

Add the installation of RS4 motor mounts onto the bill. Also had to replace both upper O2 sensors. Now trying to track down a throttle cut issue. Spent a bit of money recently, but I would never get rid of the car. It's too much fun.

thats is why my s4 is merely a garage toy for the weekends
