My 95 S6 with 113k on it is starting to get some lifter ticking at idle. My
mechanic says its not a big concern and may want to try regular oil as oppposed
to Castrol Syntech to quiet it. He said next time the timing belt needed to
be done it could be 'fixed'. It sounds like a relatively labor intensive job.
Anyone else experienced this? Any estimate in the cost to fix etc THX
