    I’d have to agree. There are times when mine frustrates me but overall it has been (and is) still a fantastic car. Of course, you’ve moved on to an S5 which is next on my “most wanted” list!

    • Well, aside from the inherent differences between older and newer, I guess that’s true of most any, at times. The S5 appealed to me because there are so few quattros with manual transmission, and there are so many 4-bodies on the road.

      • 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]

    Off to change my fuel pressure regulator and wastegate frequency valve…

  • I do think mine is somehow trans fluid related as it is a rather pungent smell. Not a hot/sweet smell like engine coolant. If yours smell like hot coolant, check the lines under the intake manifold. I did a timing belt job on a friend’s S6 once upon a time and when we were done […]

    As you can see some of the content has been moving over to this site. Why is it I get busy with other things right when I had planned to really make a push to move things over? No worries, I’ll catch up and be back at it shortly. I can’t wait to pull the plug on the old site once I’ve got everything moved!

    Well, I thought I had found my boost leak on the hose leading into the moisture trap on the firewall but alas that wasn’t it. My car still whacks a big ‘ol virtual wall whenever I really give it the beans. I don’t think it is coil related since my are now almost all new. […]

    Hi Tom, welcome!

    Wow, where did you find such a low mileage car? They are few and far between these days. Is it stock or modified?

    Thumbnail I’ve been developing this conversion in my head for a number of years because I always thought that, eventually, our OEM coils would no longer be made and I wanted a back-up plan for my car. In the last four or five months, I noticed that I was getting some missing/bucking under WOT, and high […]
