Default Considering an 2006 S4 Sedan...any issues I should be aware of?
I'm considering purchasing a low mileage '06 S4 sedan.

Are there any major known issues/problems with that model year or model in general that I should be aware of?

TIA for the help.

Default The headlights (xenon bulbs sometimes flicker),
The control arm bushings, power steering fluid mysteriously disapears, power window regulators fail.

Default One other thing....
check the valve cover gasket. Mine has been leaking...appearantly common on our motors.

Default Is head failure a common problem on the 4.2?
In the B6 forum a fellow talked about it.
