Default small but cosmetic rubberized plastic peeling, read about some cvt tranny problems i'm at 29k right

now so i'm not sure, but i just hope i'm not a poor smuck down the line where the tranny goes out after the warranty period.

looks like you own an b5 s4 so i imagine you'll go with the mt. i would have done the same but i'm getting old and traffic is lame.

Default either way the looks of the b6 is still appealing even with the new b7 but if i keep getting bad ser

vice from audi i might diversify and get a bmw or mb even though i'm not a fan of either but i'm getting really frustrated with the dealers. i love turbos and really didn't have a choice before but now with bmw's new 335xi is starting to look appealing.

Default gotta give to BMW to make it right most of the time, Audi likes to drop the ball and have problems

or cut costs in brakes, build material and power

Default if i could i would do everything myself but unfortunately i'm limited to spark plugs, brakes and oil

changes...i would like to broaden my skills for a brake fluid flush, cv boots, transmission oil change mt, at or cvt, differential oil change, etc. timing belt is a little too intimidating for me.
