    Looking for B8 S4 specific pre-warranty checklist / issues to attend to:

    Its a 2012 B8 - 70,000 km / 44,000 miles on the clock

    Mechanical - I know one of the motor mounts is leaking. Anything else any of you have experienced before coming off warranty? I do have notice of extended warranty from Audi on some sort of carbon build-up issue.

    Interior - is OK but the centre arm rest has always been shitty (slides to easily - has anyone had it replaced under warranty?)

    Exterior - is OK

    I will not be getting an extended warranty

    Thanks!

    biggest one is the coolant slosh in the dash when you move from a stop. i have to take mine in for that. Seems like a common thing

    I urge you to get extended warranty if you are getting S-tronic.

    If the mechatronics go bad, you are looking at $7000 ish repair cost.
    It might not happen to you but it could be time bomb.
