Known issues on the 1993 S4. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel feed line running from the fuel filter to the engine, which can prematurely age and shrink from the turbocharger's under-hood heat and seep fuel at the connection. The second covers the front air bag sensors, which can fail to meet durability standards over the vehicle's lifetime and, if they malfunction, allow the air bag to deploy without warning and cause the driver to lose control. Owners have filed 16 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a fuel line inspection to checking the air bag sensor circuit, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1993 S4.
