[s-cars] S4 sighting

[Cody Forbes]

AFAIK all VAG engines with a timing chain put it on the back of the engine even going back to the older VR6's. 

What's wrong with the S5 V8? It's not the same as the troublesome B6 S4 V8, the FSi V8's are a clean sheet design and as far as I've seen are as reliable as any other VAG engine.

I think the Germans have forgotten how to build a V8 properly- the MBZ V8s and the BMW V8s have similar chain guide problems, although their problems are at the front of the engine, where it is merely a 8-10 hr. job rather than the stupidly ridiculous job it is to fix on the rear timing chain Audi V8.
