A trace of oil may be present in an engine that has just started from cold. However it's not normal in an engine that is in good condition and has been run long enough to warm up. Some black hard soot or coke is usual around the end of the thread; while the contacts usually have a pale grey-brown powdery coating. Presumably you have oily plugs or you would not be asking about them, so tell us how much and where, or post a detailed picture.

Gave mine a bit of a clean up so thought I'd share a pic of how she's looking after a year in my hands. Think I've finished all the modifying and retrofitting for now so just enjoying the driving.

When replacing injectors (use a little ceramic grease on the body of the injector) and check if ‘o’ ring if one fitted needs replaced, plus the seating or sealing washer is new, use new stretch bolts and torque to specification, then tighten union nuts to fuel rail. If a new injector it needs coded to the car. -
2017 car could be anything, and sounds suspension related.

Front wheel arch liner needs to come off (usually Torx head screws), and depending on location, engine tray too. Parts made by Valeo. Good opportunity to clean out annyway. Easy enough to prep yourself as Audi will charge small fortune for colour coded one. Make a mask template with card, lightly key PDC sensor with 1500 grit sandpaper, wipe sensor with isopropyl alcohol. First coat of plastic primer, couple of top colour coats and followed by a couple of clear lacquer flash coats. Read you can cure paint by popping in oven for a few minutes (without the rubber ‘o’ ring, but think I’d miss that part out, and just don’t jet-wash directly for a few weeks.

Haven't installed them. Today I removed pretty much everything on the right side of the engine. Tomorrow im installing new water pump and injectors. Also cleaning throttle body... I'll report back. -
Your local Audi dealer knows how to charge, I’ll say that. Some of those prices are frankly ridiculous. Most of it is wear and tear. The thing to remember is the S4 is a performance car and owning one will come with increased costs. There will be a reason the previous owner had a year, and to coin a phrase ‘wants to get out of Dodge!’ Go into it with your eyes open, or increase your budget and look for something a little younger with full service history. A trusted independent garage that are VAG knowledgeable should be able to reduce some of those costs on labour.

Q5 - Stop/Start system fault + brake servo restricted

Glad you got sorted 🙂 -
That's interesting I hadn't heard that. But must be some truth in it as per your experience. So glad you got sorted 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 The symptoms indicate the bag. But this is unlikely if it was replaced with a new good quality one. Id recommend a second diagnosis from an independent Audi specialist.

Could get the injectors tested for peace of mind. Could be the injector seals? Could ideally if cleaning the carbon build up. If you're replacing the water pump you may as well do the cambelt. -
I don't think there is.
-
If you've done a factory reset on the MMI and that's not fixed it then it needs a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. The mmi may just need an update
-
It's probably that then.

Glad you enjoyed it, there's stunning scenery especially on the west coast. Have you got any other road trips planned? I've noticed I never updated this thread with more pics 🤦♂️

Looking at this list: Battery if expect needs replacing on a 10 year old car. Suspension arms are common wear items on Audi's Brakes are a wear and tear item For wheel alignment probably done after the suspension arm replacement as worn ones can knock out the wheel alignment on the front. Pcv valves are known to fail so that's good it's been replaced. Water pump is a serviceable item, but you need to find out if the cambelt was done at the same time.
