My second failure sort of snuck up on me and it was the "charge pressure deviation" DTC and the fact the car was SO SLOW.

The noise only started right at the end.

How about a grinding squeal and "tons of blue smoke out the Exhaust" - Shutup&Holdon 2002-04-24 07:55:19 (1718 views)

*raising hand* ...... That's how my first set went - sean7 2002-04-24 11:34:55 (1406 views)

Oh, that's my personal favorite. - LCP 2002-04-24 08:36:38 (1007 views)

oh man..that's a nasty thought :( - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 08:26:18 (923 views)

A 5th legitimate sign of failure: - LCP 2002-04-24 07:34:43 (2532 views)

punk. It's in the shop as we speak...errr type. - Xr8edS4 - Pawn Stahh 2002-04-24 07:33:05 (1059 views)

sorry....did you get a look at that inlet IC hose yet on the driver's side? - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:38:53 (893 views)

What about an almost metalic sounding noise along with the siren sound?...more... - 4LinkS4 2002-04-24 07:22:20 (1288 views)

That's me definately. I know mine are suspect. - Buckhood 2002-04-24 09:59:14 (915 views)

I have that same sound! I'm about 6,000 miles from being out of warranty too! What should I do????? - 2000 S4 - Ben 2002-04-24 09:14:43 (1202 views)

I believe that the turbos are covered for 7 yrs/70,000 miles as part of the exhaust system...... - AaronS4 2002-04-24 12:40:55 (1483 views)

Is that true in PA as well, or only CA? - 2000 S4 - Ben 2002-04-24 14:45:00 (984 views)

Heard same in CA commonwealth - scMichelle 2002-04-25 09:31:08 (701 views)

Maybe in CA... - LCP 2002-04-24 12:44:17 (700 views)

Be damn sure you buy an extended warranty? - LCP 2002-04-24 09:15:56 (1002 views)

If I take it to the dealership and tell them about the noise, will they replace the turbo? - 2000 S4 - Ben 2002-04-24 09:19:53 (965 views)

Yes, if the boost is low - scMichelle 2002-04-25 09:32:08 (920 views)

Maybe, keep pressing them. Force them to give you denials of replacement in writing... - LCP 2002-04-24 09:26:37 (832 views)

yep. that case with the wailing (siren sound as you say) has been accompanied by that metallic sound - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:25:01 (1365 views)

So are you saying that I sould be alarmed or not? - 4LinkS4 2002-04-24 07:27:41 (833 views)

that's how you're supposed to react after a siren goes off :) - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:39:53 (702 views)

My turbos sounded totally normal up until about 5-10 minutes before they blew. - MidWestS4 2002-04-24 07:18:49 (1620 views)

even these people were religious about the cool down....even to the extent of - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:21:42 (1331 views)

I will see what I can find out from the dealer and pics if possible. - MidWestS4 2002-04-24 07:29:58 (750 views)

Now Im paraniod again. Thanks alot - S4F3 2002-04-24 07:14:44 (865 views)

question for you - do you have the miltek turbo back exhaust? - cs22 2002-04-24 07:09:25 (1288 views)

yep...but, that code you are seeing is not terrible. You shouldn't be seeing a check engine - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:15:40 (773 views)

That is the only fault code I see w/ the vag - and it causes a CE light after 3-4 days. - cs22 2002-04-24 07:28:47 (751 views)

new cats would fix my situation, but in your case, a denser cat would fix it. but, i'd forget the - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:37:09 (719 views)

I always tell people, in regards to the sounds, if you have any doubt, its not blown... - George 2002-04-24 06:56:24 (1301 views)

Blown yes, but a "weak" turbo could make sounds 1 and 2 - Buckhood 2002-04-24 10:06:26 (1313 views)

yeah, like that normal higher pitched spin sound when the motor is cold. - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:01:10 (915 views)

welcome back. - BiTurboBoy 2002-04-24 06:54:28 (883 views)
