Hi, I'm after some wisdom from S4 owners as I'm new to Audi ownership. Its in the B7 section of the forum if you can help! thanks, "the new guy"

Hi, I'm looking to venture into the world of Audi ownership and went to look at an S4 avant this morning. It's relatively high mileage but I won't be doing many so that doesn't worry me too much and the car has 4 long life service stamps from main dealers. My concern is the valves rattle a bit when I started up and continued to. I've read that this can be cured with an oil change but I'm concerned about the timing belt. Would this be changed in a long life service? As it's due another, how much should I expect to fork out? (It's an independent who a) won't service it and b) I don't especially want to). Anything else I should be wary of? Except for the broken glove box that is! And yes it is broken. Your wisdom would be much appreciated! thanks, James (the new guy)
