    editor@s-cars.org started the forum topic UrS4 Instrument Cluster Rattle in the group Group logo of UrS4 / UrS6UrS4 / UrS6: 14 years, 11 months ago

    My father replaced the instrument cluster illumination on my mother’s UrS4 and ever since then they have had a horrific resonant rattle coming from the instrument cluster. He’s taken it out once or twice since then in hopes of finding it but so far no such luck. I just came back from test driving it […]

    The O2 sensor on the downpipe just behind the turbo shouldn’t be THAT hard to do on the UrS. Spray it the night before with a little PB Blaster then stick a wrench on it in the morning and give it a quick tap with a hammer if needed. I’ve seen them snug but never […]

    When was the last time you replaced your O2 sensor? (Bosch 13913 “generic” will splice in if you don’t want to spend an extra $100 for the Audi connector)

    Have you checked for any stored ECU codes?

    editor@s-cars.org started the forum topic Highest odometer reading? in the group Group logo of UrS4 / UrS6UrS4 / UrS6: 14 years, 12 months ago

    Just curious how many uber high mileage (or km) cars are out there still on the roads. I know at 163k my car is hardly a contender for any records. I’ve known of several cars with 260k mi. on them.

    Anyone else out there with an extremely advanced odometer? 😉

    Wish I had a “real deal” RS2 Avant as well. Few more years before the importations begin here in the U.S. 😉
    Until then, the RS2 spec conversion on my UrS4 will have to do.

      Yeah, my 7aT Coupe is great but I am considering a move towards B or C4 sedan to be more family friendly and have a larger pool of parts to draw from.

    Ahhhh… I’m betting that tab is a ‘safety’ to keep the petcock from coming all the way out. Looks like it would go in and hold the petcock at the narrow point on the body. I’ll try to get out in the garage and take a closer look at mine today if I get a […]

    My car has about 163k so we’re in roughly the same boat. In my case, the running condition would deteriorate as the car warmed up. The paste used on mine came from a computer processor fan/heat sink installation. Local computer stores should have it. And yes, POS installation is pretty easy especially if you have […]

    Sorry about that Jimbo, you can try uploading your image again. I set default size to 600kb for files and 700kb for jpg or png images.

    So far mine seems to have gone away after reapplication of the heat sink paste on the backs of the POS units. Might want to check that on your car Ed.

    I have never fully removed the drain plug while draining my system. I would unscrew it at far as it would go and then flush the system with DI water before tightening and refilling. The tab thing doesn’t ring a bell for me. Maybe post a pic of it if possible?

    Hi Ed,

    I’ve been dealing with a similar issue myself. I assume you replaced all your coils with original Beru coil units AND boots?

    How many miles on your Avant? Have you ever replaced the power output stages on the firewall?

    I’ve always loved Coupes. Prior to the S4 I had a Coupe quattro 20V. Loved the looks of it and wanted to make an RS2 coupe out of it but that was back when used AAN engines were still pretty expensive to snap up and build so I sold it. I don’t miss the rather flexible chassis on the CQ or the stupid Hitachi injection stuff however.

      I come from a mentality of old Mustangs and GTOs, and the concept that a two-door ’57 Chevy is more desirable than a four-door, and so on. But I do miss having a usable back seat, even if it’s for groceries, at times. But it’s hard not to like the quattro Concept from the current Paris Auto…[Read more]
