    Is your S2,RS2,S4,S6 running right?

    There always seem to be a fair proportion of us whose cars and running right or are off the road, just curious to see the numbers.
    Please vote in the pole, and, if you want, answer with the problems on the thread.

    No. There are one or two niggles but I don't think it's serious.

    No. I'm still driving it but something is badly wrong or it's running like a bag of spanners.

            Mines just coming to the end of a full engine rebuild due to a snapped crank pulley key! Was running perfect before. But thats the law of the sod for you. Probably have a few issues when i get it back, i know i need a new LCD for the gauges.

                  The only reason you have a dodgey fuel gauge is that you have a heavy right foot

                  Dont worry i have that same problem too , im sure many others on here have the same

                        Nearly finished after, steel rods, head gasket, lifters, cam change, turbo change, oil and water turbo lines, exhaust manifold change, Downpipe change, intercooler change and coil change think thats it all.

                          i can safely say that it runs beautifully......after having spent at least 10000euro on it,the least it can do is have the decency to not give me any hard trouble.The parts that are still not replaced are getting less and less so i eradicate the possibililty of fault.
                          However we must always bare in mind that since our cars are heavily modded some parts will need replacing sooner such as turbochargers,MAFs,hoses etc....

                            My Fuel Gauge is dodgy too! maybe we should start a poll on who has a working Fuel gauge!
