#1 of 1 Clutch and Coolant System Questions by yahrdmeh May 02, 2007 (9:48 am)
Hello All, I have a couple of questions about my 2001 S4 and heard this would be the place to get advice. I'm a student on a tight budget and need to find the cheapest way to fix my car before the summer in Miami. First, I have run through my clutch at 75,000 miles. I'm planning on running about 500 hp after an upgrade in the chip and some pipes. Which clutch can hold that kind of power? Should I throw a new fly wheel on while I'm getting the clutch done, or have it resurfaced? If you have any advice on a reliable supplier that would be helpful as well. Secondly, I discovered a puddle of coolant under my car the other day. I'm hoping there's a simple explanation, maybe a hose or radiator. Is this problem common in S4's? And if so, what's the likely solution? Thanks, Chris
