Ive had my 02 S4 for about 5 months now and I absolutely love it. I was apart of another forum and it was absolutely horrible so Im hoping this one is more helpful. My S4 is a big mistery. I took a risk in buying it knowing it had problems but I got it for a steal with only 103000 miles on it. The previous owner has spent some money on my Audi and I plan to figure out just where, these cars are not as easy to figure out as american cars. Wish me luck!

Welcome.

I'm guessing either az or whoretex.


What's your issue your having and how much is the steal?

What did he say he did? Got any pix?

I got the car for 6 grand. Im having some transmission issues and a bad O2 sensor The pixels are out in info screen in the cluster hood latch is broken and the damage to the front. The last forum was audi world I think. I bought it off the wife of the guy. he passed away and she had no idea what hes done to the car. Only things Ive found is a boost gauge in the front vents and a XBC boost controller under the hood. Not exactly sure what it means. thanks!

I'm guessing 6mt, what's it doing? O2 is a fairly easy fix.

There's a guy on az that can fix your cluster. The latch is it broken or the aftermarket grille makes it hard to get? And keep your eye on the forums for part outs.

I think theres a silver one on here right now.

its the latch cable. It broke under the dash where you actually pull it to open the hood. The tranny slams into drive and when it down shifts it shifts hard into third. (its a auto trans) but yeah aftermarket grill does make it harder to open lol. had a mechanic stick his finger into the electronic cooling fan lol. He wont make that mistake again. What is AZ? the cluster drives me nuts. Still trying to figure out how to navigate the site.
