Hello All,
I have recently bought an S4 of 1993 vintage, this is an auto and is generaly in very good condition, a new engine and turbo was fitted less than 3000 miles ago, it has been off the road for 6 months or so prior to my obtaining it.
The two main problems I have are as follows, 1) No vacuum pipe fitted to the turbo wastegate and despite checking through the CD workshop manual (This being an American suplied CD) I cannot find exactly what this should be connected to.2)The auto box does not kick down, the last owner reckoned it was fine before the new engine was fitted. I assume this is electronically controlled as there is no provision for a kick down cable or any sign of the necessary brackets on the throttle linkage.
If any one can help I would be very grateful.
Regards Nick.
