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 (1164 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 (1445 views)

Is that true in PA as well, or only CA? - 2000 S4 - Ben 2002-04-24 14:45:00 (925 views)

Be damn sure you buy an extended warranty? - LCP 2002-04-24 09:15:56 (969 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 (934 views)

Yes, if the boost is low - scMichelle 2002-04-25 09:32:08 (881 views)

Maybe, keep pressing them. Force them to give you denials of replacement in writing... - LCP 2002-04-24 09:26:37 (781 views)

So are you saying that I sould be alarmed or not? - 4LinkS4 2002-04-24 07:27:41 (787 views)

that's how you're supposed to react after a siren goes off :) - Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) 2002-04-24 07:39:53 (655 views)

My turbos sounded totally normal up until about 5-10 minutes before they blew. - MidWestS4 2002-04-24 07:18:49 (1564 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 (744 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 (706 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 (667 views)
