Ur s6/s4

[Jetta2.slow]

So who knows about the ur S4/S6 cars from ther early 90's. They have really caught my eye lately and im thinking about selling my jetta, after i save up enough for the difference between what my car sells for, and what a Ur s6/s4 costs. Anyone know how reliable these cars are and what problem areas they have??

What is a UR S4?

[Jetta2.slow]

Its the b4 s4 1991-1993 ( i think) its the same as the ur s6 they just changed the name in 1994. they both have 2.2L 5 cylindar 20v turbo engines.

But what is the UR mean?

uR stands for the original audi in german (something like that)

I would buy it if I were you, that motor is bulletproof. I could be mistaken, but I'm 90% sure a majority of the internals are forged & will support 300+hp. But off the floor that car had 217hp268 lb/ft, and is a stage 2 chip away from 300hp 325lbs. I have seen them with 225k on the clock and running strong without ever cracking open the motor, and even with that mileage they command $5k or more. If you are lucky you can find one that has been fixed up right...porsche calipers, routine maintenance, and real love. My father owns one that hasn't moved in 2 years, and it breaks my heart. Timing belt broke, interference motor, rare motor, nuff said...

I myself have owned 3 5000 quattros, 2 of them turbos. They are a heavier car, but you wouldn't know it to drive it. Even the 10 valves are just a chip and wastegate spring away from respectable numbers, 210hp275lbs. I actually prefer the 10 valves because of their aesthetics and mechanical/electrical simplicity, not to mention the availability of replacement motors compared to the 20 valves. They have more trunk space then any other comparable car, and had options in 1986 that I dream of having in my golf today. Trip computer, heated seats(front and rear), rear air conditioning vents, driving lights, abs, fog lights, intercooled turbo, air shrouded injectors, adjustable locking differentials, 10 speaker stereo, leather trimmed doors, heated nozzles & mirrors, power everything, recaro designed seats, digital heating controls, and one of the first cars to ever have the one touch n down driver window. In 1986 a new fully loaded 5ktq ran 38,000 dollars!!!!!!

I had 275k on my n/a quattro, and it still ran when I junked it, 250k on another (tranny seal blew) and I sold the other one with 120k on it, and its still running today.

With the right love and tlc, I think I could make that car last a lifetime, and I wouldn't mind driving one that long either.
