***2005.5 Audi S4***black On Black ***not Running*** on 2040-cars
North Hollywood, California, United States
Attention mechanics, Audi lovers, dreamers, grease monkeys, artisans, miscreants!
Selling my BEAUTIFUL (NOT RUNNING) 2005.5 Audi S4. I would prefer NOT TO but have a couple things standing in my way: 1.) It needs work and I don't have the time to do it. 2.) Wife says no "project" cars for daddy. Initially, I'd purchased this car from Windy City Motorsports in Lombard, IL. Their ad said there might be a timing chain/tensioner issue. I brought it out West, had a go and my super-mechanic buddy found that a timing chain had given out and that I was looking at a bent valve I think. So we could either wrench on it OR swap if for a $4k to $5k engine. Which is fine by me, it's an awesome (originally almost $50k), car that I'd be HAPPY to work on and get back on the road. My wife, however, differs with me on this point. Also, I was JUST offered a new job that will have me away from home more often. Soooo.... Here it is: *Ext / Int Color Brilliant Black with Ebony Full Leather Interior *Luxury Features Air Conditioning Climate Control System Dual Zone Electronic Climate Control System Telescoping Steering Wheel Homelink System Steering Wheel Radio Controls Digital Information Center Cruise Control Moon roof Sunroof Tilt Steering Wheel Clock Tachometer Heated Seat Tinted Windows *Power Equipment Power Steering Power Windows Power Locks Power Mirrors Power Driver's Seat Power Passenger Seat Memory Seat Position *Safety Features Security System Key-less Entry Anti-Lock Brakes Traction Control System Driver's Air Bag Passenger Air Bag Side Air Bags Fog Lights Intermittent Wipers Dynamic Stability Control All-Wheel Drive Rear Defogger *Interior Wood Trim Leather Steering Wheel Leather Gear Shifter Audio / Video Bose System AM/FM CD Player CD Changer MP3 Navigation System Premium Sound Satellite Radio Separate Tweeters *Additional Features 12v Power Outlet Adaptive headlights Body Side Moldings Center Arm Rest Center Console Child Proof Door Locks Chrome Exhaust Tips Compass And Temperature Display Cup Holders Daytime Running Lights Front Heated Seats Head-Protection System Heated Mirrors HID Headlamps Luxury Seats Premium Alloy Wheels Rear Fog Lamps Remote Trunk Lid Front AND Rear RECARO Sport Seats Vanity Mirrors Xenon ***Copy and paste this link for original Windy City Motorsports ad and 70+ pictures: (EBAY won't allow a link here: you can check out the original ad at the "Windy City Motorsports" - in Lombard, IL- website...SORRY!) The car is beautiful. It got dusty in transit. I've washed, parked and covered it. I have some video of the car when it first arrived and some pix too. I'll try to figure out how to transfer the pix from my video camera to the computer but for now I have the pix you see here. ALSO There are a few scratches on those pretty black wheels (made by shipper). Not too bad and it's Plasti Dip which can be easily covered or peeled and re-applied, a SUPER easy fix. I'll work on getting some pix up. The front, right tire was flat, I replaced it with a new one. I THINK that's everything. A lovely 05.5 Audi S4 in need of some TLC from the right person. Email Christo anytime... Cheers! ***MAKE AN OFFER!*** The worst thing that can happen is I say no. ***MAKE AN OFFER!*** ***P.S.*** As a footnote to those who are unfamiliar. THEY ALL BREAK. No matter how well a person claims to have maintained their AUDI, they ALL have timing chain and timing belt issues. The best thing to look for when purchasing a used Audi (if you don't want to be working on it yourself), is to find someone who's had the timing belts OR chains changed/examined/maintained approximately every 80k miles. Tensioners, Ternsioner Guides...all need to be INTENTIONALLY managed in order for an Audi (engine), to have a long, happy life. Otherwise, you buy the car, it's running, then, BLAMO...it stops and you've just bought yourself an EXPENSIVE fixer (which was probably not your intension). This one here...an IN-expensive fixer ready for the right home. ***All offers considered. GOOD LUCK & HAPPY HUNTING! |

Audi to use this telepresence robot to fix cars
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Next time you take your Audi in for service, watch to see if a little white stand is following your mechanic around. It's not some new measurement tool for your car; it's a actually a robot being controlled remotely to improve vehicle service. While bots playing a role in building cars is nothing new, the company is taking things a step further in the US by introducing Audi Robotic Telepresence to assist dealer technicians in repairing the brand's vehicles. The droids are already being used in a pilot program at about 18 dealers nationwide with plans to have it at 100 in the near future.
At the moment, ART, as its called, is more R2-D2 than The Terminator. It certainly won't be doing any wrenching on your A4 anytime soon because it doesn't even have arms. Instead, the robot comprises a remote-controlled stand with multiple cameras, a microphone and speakers. The bot is operated remotely by Audi Technical Assistance consultants and Technical Field Managers who can talk back-and-forth with mechanics about vehicle service and help to remotely diagnose problems. The droid is even equipped with a handheld camera and borescope to reach into tiny crevices.
Audi claims that ART is the first system of its kind to directly link automakers with technicians at the dealer level in this way and leads to faster, more accurate service for customers. Scroll down to watch a video of the bot in action and read the release for the current list of participating dealers.
Audi R8 E-Tron back on production map thanks to new battery tech?
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Contrary to our October 2012 report, it appears Audi's R8 E-Tron program is back on track, if a report from Australia is to be believed. Drive is reporting that the German brand has changed its mind and won't be sacking the program, despite previously stated concerns about the quality and price of batteries for the R8-based EV.
We last saw the R8 E-Tron prototype in the snows of northern Europe, although footage of the car has been non-existent since that wintry test. This new report claims that a small number of R8 E-Trons will see production, which gels with what we heard back in 2012 and supposed earlier this year. Apparently, some new sort of lithium-ion battery technology has allowed for a drastic increase in range, with rumors of the original 130 miles going up to around 250. According to Drive, this makes the project feasible again.
"Our engineers and technicians are further developing the car and its electric drive system. The range has grown significantly, allowing the potential for a small-scale production," an unnamed, but high-ranking Audi employee told the Aussies.
BMW considering building 3 Series in North America
Sun, 13 Apr 2014There might be even more BMWs coming from North America soon. The company recently announced plans to build a flagship crossover called the X7 at its Spartanburg, SC, factory. Now, rumors are emerging that the Bavarians might be thinking about building a second North American factory that could build its quick-selling 3 Series.
According to Bloomberg, the German luxury giant is considering several possible locations for a North American factory, including two in Mexico, that may build the 3. "We will decide this in the next months. On the North American continent, there's still potential," said BMW production boss, Harald Krueger, in an interview meant for company staff obtained by Bloomberg.
If BMW decides to open a plant in Mexico, it would be following its rival Audi, which already announced construction of a factory there. Mercedes-Benz has been rumored to be working on a deal with Nissan to build its cars South of the Border as well. Rumors of Bimmer considering Mexican production have also cropped up in the past, so it wouldn't come as a total surprise to hear it made official.
