Don't let this happen to you. My S4 has been down for 4 weeks because the new water pump the dealer put in seized and pulled the timing out of line.

It all started when I took the car in for noise in the front end the dealer replaced the water pump and the noise was gone. But about a weak later I started the car and the water pump seized and pull the timing.

So if your hear noise in the front end let the dealer check it out before it seizes. Mine was under warrante so I am getting at least a new head but if yours is out of warranty get it checked out ASAP.

what kind of noise? any other symptoms of failing water pump?

The noise was an intemitant tapping noise. Kinda like a muffled sound you get when you have coins from your pants in the dryer. There were no other symptoms the first time I brought it in.

I picked it up today and the Turbos where not spooling. So I turned around at took it back. I hope third time is the charm.

Just an update... After I picked up the car for from the third time it still was not right. I called AUDI customer relations and took it to another dealer. The dealer said that no Fault codes came up. But the clutch is starting to slip. I just picked up my car yesterday with the new clutch and it seems softer then the original and it dose not seem to be as smooth. But it is not slipping. The car still feels flat though. Anyone have any ideas what could it be. I am going to call Audi customer relations tomorrow and have it taken to another dealer to fix the clutch. I have not been able to enjoy my car since 10-06-02. HELP.....I MISS MY BABY.
