2006 Audi S4 25th anniversary / 2003 cl 55
New CL55 Driver
Hey all,
I just recently took over my fathers CL55 to replace my old 2006 Audi S4 25th anniversary. I have been reading this forum for a while but finally made the move and registered. I threw some pics up at this website:
http://www.cardomain.com/id/illests4
It's a 2003 CL55 Silver/black interior
I've been reading about the TSB's and some of the issues with losing power after acceleration, and I can definitively say I have experienced that. I was wondering if there were any major (well, not major but def useful to be checked out) issues that I could get fixed. I am not sure the warranty, however I know my dad has a friend who owns a dealership and he said he would fix any problems I am having (hence i do not want to ask him for small stupid tsb's). Anyway, glad to be a part of this forum. Let me know what you guys think!

Enjoy the car, it's fantastic.
You're probably feeling the effect of a bad charge air cooler (s/c cooling pump) and it's a 250$ fix including labor ... but it doesn't throw a code, so either datalog to prove it or take the SA out for a drive.
I'm sure everyone will agree that you need a 178mm pulley, new airbox, throttle body and headers ... then the car will run like it was built to run.
