My new S4 was incredible for 6 days before the clutch pressure plate imploded. They had to order a new assembly from Germany and 3 wks later it arrived but now my dash was in German and when they reset it, there was an airbag warning light that wouldn't go off. The code wasn't able to be cross-referenced so Germany is supposed to be sending a new instrument cluster, no ETA. Also, the homelink wasn't working from day one. Be careful, this is a great car but seems to be taking after the problems of the old 5000's from the '80's. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or not.</P>

I have a 2004 S4. I had the same problem with my clutch and also the trany after 1 week...... Now after having the car for 4 months I finaly have a car that works. It took over 4 weeks for the clutch and then another 2 months for the trany parts..... I am going to keep the car, just too much fun to drive can't give it up.

Go back to your trailer park and toothless relatives, pal. Your kind of worthless humor is about as funny as your pimpled ass.

just curious ... did these clutches destruct under normal driving or under launch?
