As some of you may know my TL was recently totaled, I just replaced it with a 2006 Black Audi S4. Here are some pics, enjoy!

 

Nice-congrats.

 

Congrats...nice ride man

 

Thanks guys!

 

Nice! Congrats! I love the S4...

 

Very nice car! Congrats.

 

Hey, Congrats. What are the details? Mileage?

 

Lovely upgrade, enjoy!

 

2006 79,1xx miles

 

Awesome. Congrats. I had a 2005 I sold around 50k miles.

The only things that you're really going to have to worry about right now that I know are the auxiliary radiators and the control arms.

Keep an eye on the aux radiators (they're in lower airdam on each side) in case they rust or puncture. The control arms seem to wear a little faster than other cars.

Enjoy it in good health. I really miss mine.

 

^^^Thanks for the tips, this is definitely gonna be a little different when it comes to maintenance than the TL

 

Awesome

and exactly what charliemike said, design of those arms are pretty good and much better than other cars but wear faster than others

 

Sweet S4!

Any reasons why you chose this car specifically?

 

Very nice! I love that body style, should have gotten an RS4 though

 

Nice S4! I also love th RS4's.

 

nice! you'll only miss the TL when u pay for maintenance.

 

The RS4 would have been twice as much. :/

 

 

nice.

 

Nice upgrade. The S4 was one of my first choices.

 

sweet ass ride man!

 

Congrats! Love the panda interior...

 

I mostly chose it because its AWD (I live in a snowy state), and for its exceptional handling.

 

Thanks guys for all of the positive comments

 

Well the Audi love/hate relationship begins. The car just started misfiring, ill be bringing it to the dealer tomorrow. I'm hoping it's just the coil packs, MAF, or spark plugs and not something major like the timing chain assembly or scored cylinder walls.

 

 

^^Trust me I am sick to my stomach, thank god I have a warranty.

 

We had a B7 A4 and we loved it. One of our favorite cars we've ever had and pretty much bulletproof. The S4 will be a little more maintenance (as you're already experiencing), but hopefully you have a good dealer and you'll be all set.

Enjoy

 

S4's are awesome. Congratulations.

 

Thanks guys, the good news is I bought from a European service shop and not a dealer so I have a good place to go for maintenance and repairs. I'm actually here now getting a coil pack replaced.

 

There was a coilpack recall at one point that covered the S4. You should check with the local Audi dealer and see if they were ever replaced.

If not, you're probably entitled to new ones.

 

^they were replaced in 2010 says it right on the coils. Either way its under warranty so it with be free

 

Congrats! She's a beauty.

 

Thanks, ill post some pics of it detailed in the spring. I can't wait to have it immaculate!

 

Seems like coil packs are a common issue on the 4.2 motor. I replaced mine at the beginning of the year on my Q7.

She's a beauty. Try to keep it under 100

 

^^ Yup its definitely a common problem. And its hard to keep it under 120 lol

 

gorgeous!

 

Thanks it drives and handles as good as it looks!

 

Congrats! IIRC, the V8's are also known to burn oil like the 2.0T, so keep an eye on your oil levels.

 

^^ I just learned from an audizine member (former owner of this car), that they sold it due to scored cylinder walls. It looks like I am going to return it because I doubt they will give me a brand new engine.
