Maybe he meant the newer V8 engine with the convoluted timing chain in
the back?

I just passed on a S4 that was priced cheaper than cheap, it had some
strange rumblings and was in obvious need of a timing chain service.  
I'm getting too old/wise for that crap.  ;-)

I had a 50 hour timing belt replacement on the V8Q #1 many moons ago, but
that was because I had to wait for the friction block to get red labeled
in from the Fatherland.

BCNU,
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
