- Light scuff on rear bumper (found by touch rather than sight - hoping it buffs out during detail)
- Car park ding on rear drivers side door
Has been an amazing car for me over last 18 months but since November when I moved opposite where I work, I am looking at swapping the comfort and speed of the 5 door S4 for something a little less comfortable, a bit quicker but also 5 doors. So I am potentially open to p/ex (either way) or swap offers for something that matches that description.
The car was on a long life service plan until the owner before me took ownership, after which he put her on a yearly change schedule which I have followed albeit on a more excessive 6k schedule using Fuchs Titan Race Pro S which has drastically reduced the top-ups needed from every 2-3k to not having done it since last oil change. In my ownership I have had the coil packs replaced as they fell under Audi’s recall (no problem with them was told I could have them replaced for free!) I also have replaced the brake light sensor which is a VAG weakness and also have her booked in for a full detail over next couple of weeks and pics will be updated.
A lovely car that hasn’t wanted for anything, she runs beautifully but for peace of mind before even thinking of selling I took it to a local Audi specialist for a health check to confirm this. This highlighted a few things such as needing new front tyres and front brakes (done since) but nothing major. It also showed that the engine is running great, cam timings all checked out – which is a good sign the tensioner is fine – and no other issues on the car.
With regards to the cam chain noise on startup - with mine it depended on oil, initially it would give slight rattle for 1 second then go when started. With the Fuchs in it she has gone from the noise whenever started cold to very rarely having the rattle on startup if at all. It's still there every now and again but i havent seen one that doesnt. Can provide video of startup from cold if need be.
Price is £7,995ono - i’m located in Carmarthen, South West Wales but am willing to travel further east to meet buyers if needed as have family in Cardiff. Any more questions or photo requests then please let me know.
Thanks
