[s-cars] Hi. I'm new and I have a couple of questions...

[James Murray (LMC)]

Welcome Lewis,

You should also check out: http://www.s-cars.org/urs4s6/bg/bg.html

and here's a "Known Issues List": http://www3.sympatico.ca/wadleigh/S4S6_Known_Issues_List.htm

As for the bad pinion bearing (which is what you are hearing...), you can alternatively upgrade to a 6 speed tranny, or have it fixed, figure about $1500 to fix it. Yes you can keep rolling with it, I have this problem and have done a good 12,000 KM with no problems except it's anoying, but changed the oil to Amsoil and it's bearable... I don't know if it will eventually fail horribly...but so far so good !

Cheers, /James.

I hope I am doing this right.  I am thinking of buying a '92 S4.  I have
driven it and it seems to have the transmission problem described on
www.urs4.com <http://www.urs4.com/>  with the whining sound.  The car
has 75k on it, how big of a problem can this be?  Will the whining
eventually lead to the transmission failing horribly or will it just be
an annoying noise?  Also on the front and rear bumpers the rubber part
is badly discolored, can it be replaced or re-painted?  Thanks and
hello!
