When they were new, pretty much every S4 had the engine taken back out at main dealers, the heatshields would work loose and rattle between the turbo and body. There was a revision to the design of the heatshield ISTR on the recall. But, for some reason, some cars slipped the net.

Edit... Just been checking the web, it wasn't a formal recall...

My car (1998 S4) has had new heat shields. It/They had been mangled on the left side to keep in place.
The manifolds also seem to have had issues. Another bit replaced. If not done, they seem to take out the lambda sensors on their way to the turbo.

And it's all a minimal working space. The likes of Grizz and Ben will probably shed more light. I've not been about to do any work on mine to get to know it, so my knowledge is based on info from others.
