01 S4 Help

2001 Audi S4 Stage 2 6spd

I'm going to go check this car out, is there anything special or specific that I should ask the seller about?

Ask all the maintenance and common problem questions (timing belt, turbos, control arms, axles, 1-2 shift (tranny), O2 sensors, etc.). See if you can get the maintenance records and carfax type thing, also. Otherwise the car looks very clean and interior looks mint. Price seems okay as well.

Ask him who did the installation of all the work done.

Also, check out www.audizine.com for more information and other B5 S4's for sale.

Ask if he's had either the CV boots or control arms replaced. Those two failed on me at around 55k miles, however, mine was tracked pretty hard. Let me look through the maintenance file I have for my old '01 S4 to see if there is anything else.

S-Fource is an unknown quantity at this point
Did you check this ride yet? If not its worth looking at the breaks too. I had to replace my front pads and rotors at 65,000. Warped and cracking in my the stock rotors. Replaced with Zimmerman cross drilled. Otherwise, ljg335i is right on track with what to look for.

Great find! I love my '01. Cheers.

Sounds like a pleasant seller.

Test drove one a couple years back. Glad I did. What a dull and boring car.
