Re: 2004 s4
Awesome! The 4.2L is an excellent engine and is used in several models for many years. I have nothing but good things to say of the S4 4.2L cars I have driven and maintained.

Re: 2004 s4
hey K04-S4,
My car is in good shape, i haven't had any problems - but remember, my engine was swapped for a 07 model, and all the problems seemed to be fixed by then. It might be worth taking it into audi to have them test if there are oil leaks - i remember reading they can figure this out somehow... =)... |
Re: 2004 s4
My 2007 S4 Avant never burned a drop of oil over the approx 2 years I owned it (it was from the US). With respect to importing a vehicle, provided you understand the costs to get one over the border as well as the potential to lose a bit on resale if the purchaser prefers a CDN car, it can be a win win situation. There are many more available south of the 49th making it possible to get a car exactly how you like it and save some money at the same time. One point to note, driving an S4 with a US cluster can get you into trouble as the car feels like you're doing under 50 kph when the speedo reads 50 MPH.

Audi Dealer $ervice can get expensive and there are other options. https://www.audiforum.ca/gallery/fil...7/176_7684.jpg |
Re: 2004 s4
early B6 models (early build 2004 model year specifically) are full of surprises. I'd avoid them, personally and try to step up to a 2005 or 2005.5 if you can. There are deals out there.
The oil burning can be a number of things. If it's like a quart every 600-1500 miles, you've got a problem and don't want to touch the car. Not to promote another forum here, but consider reading up over on EUROADDICTION.NET in the B6/7 S4/RS4 section. It's the best collection of information and owners of the 4.2 S4 platforms and will surely yield enough information for you. |

What is the actual difference between the 2004 and 2007 S4 4.2L engine?
Audi Dealer $ervice can get expensive and there are other options. the platform is a bit different...obviously the body, but there are a bunch of technical improvements in the later B7 cars that the B6/early B7 didn't get. |

If so what are the costs? Thank you |

no real differences. There are a couple of mounting/boltup differences, but they're identical where it matters.
