Can anyone Help - I have a S4 Cabrio - 2004 reg, I was driving at less than 20 miles an hour when it made a bad noise from the engine, and stalled. I started it up again and it sounded terrible. I did not start it again but had it recovered to my local Audi garage - Swansea Audi. They looked at it, poked about it, and said they didnt have a clue what was wrong with it but it sounded like a serious timing issue, and they want £2000 to take the engine out, just to have a look see what it wrong. The engine has only done 35,000 miles, out of warranty. Has anybody else had experiences like mine. Am i wrong for expecting an engine to last more than 35,000 miles, especially a chain driven one. I cant afford to pay the potential £6000 bill - HELP.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Vehicle stalls when at operating temperature and reverse is selected or when turning left. Vehicle has covered 250,000Km is a 1994 3L. V6 Nissan Maxima sedan unleaded petrol / LPG Venturi system, normally runs sweetly. The car is poorly maintained, largely by myself as I tend to drive it until it stops, then make minimal tweaks and adjustments to get it running OK, repair parts or use second hand were possible. The car is normally run on LPG but the fault also occurs on petrol, currently the petrol injectors are crook and the front engine mount is shot. I feel intimidated by the complex engine management system and am at a loss as to target troubleshooting the current problem. A mechanic has tried a scanner on the electrics, replaced a faulty ignition lead, adjusted the mixture without identification of the problem.
