I know the mirrors were changed, and I though they were the culprit, but your
probably right about the actual source. 

>>S4 has the horrid 1-piece 3 lens headlight with the "are they on?" low
beams.
>Again, what's the difference here?? Aren't the S6/A6 ones the same type??
 
95.5 S6 had zenon(?) projector beams, which ERIC posted are a $3200.
upgrade!!!

>>The late S6's (95.5) are better.
>Why, (sorry for all these questions, but I want to know more..) are they?
All I know >is that the late S6/A6's happen to have sunshades for the space
above the rear-view >mirror.
 
I'm only refering here to the headlights being better.

>>Turbo to intercooler hose improved over the 200's in the S4, though the

res.)

> Ramifications of this??
 
Position may contribute to less efficient cooling, and is hard to get at.
Plastic end caps can blow out, and they don't contribute (as metal would) to
cooling.
>Is your IA chip the one for $ 800.00??
 
 Yep.
