Default **01 s4 has 76000 miles..what maitenance needs to be done**

I do not know when the last service was done..but i suspect under 60000 miles.. the car makes some noise when i turn and go over bumps. makes unusual noise when starting up. also got a check engine code for engine misfire, but i got it cleared and drove about 200 miles and it has not returned..should i be worried and what should i do?

If not done yet, timing belt/waterpump/thermostat should be done ASAP.

Default My friend, do a search for timing belt jobs (TB).

This is usually discussed about every week. As for the funky sound you have, it's probably your control arms.

I can't comment on the misfire code. Get new plugs when you do your timing belt job and hope that helps. If not, try new coil packs.

Nobody will be able to help you diagnose your "unusual noise" when starting up without a very descriptive description. Have the tech check it out when he does the TB job.

Overall, I'd say you have close to 2 grand worth of work to do, depending on what the tech charges for labor.

Default including oil change??

obviously get that done.
I'd run Seafoam through the intake, replace fuel filter, trans and diff fluids, PS fluid, brake fluid.

Front control arm kit from PureMS. Do it = no more creaks

Default 2nd 3rd 4th. also take care of cam seals and vc gaskets while you're in there

fuel filter may need addressing. CA's, DV's could be on their way out. TBB upgrade for preventative.

of course not all of these needs to be done, but I can assure you it will at one point or another.
