Jimjitsu Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Well where to start first off there is alot of rusty bolts and bits all over this thing, the engine feels lumpy like its missing every now and then, does not pull very well not like a car of this spec should , just about every electrical thing is broken or just not working right including lots of lights aircon windows etc and its got a fantastic oil leak somewhere oh and the paint job is rough around the edges its been resprayed but not to a high standard also with that there appear to be stress cracks here and there so a far bit wrong with it xD time to empty the bank balance on bits and pieces lol luckly i have two good friends one is a mechanic and one is a auto refinisher Edited March 15, 2009 by Jimjitsu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 the engine feels lumpy like its missing every now and then, does not pull very well not like a car of this spec should Hi Jimmy...from an ex-S4 owner, also in yellow (not yours btw!) When this happened to me, I thought...oh god this is gonna cost me dear, new engine needed or something, it was missing and vibrating like crazy at even low speeds...turns out just a bit of water in the plugs after heavy rainfall...half hour job to sort it...car ran good as new after... here's a pic which i shamelessly post at every available opportunity but the S4 is such a great looking car B) Quote Marge: Homer, I don't want you driving around in a car you built yourself. Homer : Marge, you can either sit there complaining, or you can knit me some seat belts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
