Re: Buying an '07 RS4
The inspection came in today on the car I'm looking to buy:
Coolant is a bit low - currently at -28 recommended is -36 to -45 (~$200)
Intermittent engine mount fail – I need to know more about this
Front brakes have 40% life left, rears are at 60%
Small power steering leak – I’ll ask for more info on this too.
More minor things that are listed on the report.
Overall the mechanic said it was in good condition, there was nothing that caused him any concern. I'd like to know what others might think (I'm not very mechanically minded so some of these things sound scary).
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Re: Buying an '07 RS4
Thanks for the headsup although I'm not looking at the red one.
I spent time talking the the mechanic and owner, doing some research and everything is fine so I'm going ahead with the purchase.
I can't wait to pick it up this week!

Yup, that would be him. His claim is that a coil pack may resolve the issue, but a quick search turns up his posts asking where to buy a replacement motor. I am good friends with a reputable shop that inspected this car, he confirmed that the motor is toast due to FOD in a single cylinder.

Re: Buying an '07 RS4
what's FOD? FUKING OWNER is a DOUCHEBAG?
Wonder if it was a chunk of carbon that broke free, made it to the cylinder and then the piston used it to draw pretty pictures in the alusil.
That's the only reason I fear carbon. The performance fears are over-blown. The real concern I have is damaged cylinder wall.
