Good evening all. I've always wanted a nice Cab, and I finally managed it today. It's a 1.8 20 valve. I didn't know you could get the 20 valve engine in these and it goes very well, and surprisingl ...

Guys, does anyone have VAG special tool 3256 to lock up the crank to do a timing belt on an S4?

I will leave a large deposit on it and pay a rental if required.

Many thanks in advance.

You have classic symptoms of a faulty coolant temperature sensor, but you need a diagnostic to be sure.

Alrighty then!
