    Electronic Interferance - B5 S4

    Hi Guys... Having real trouble with Interference on my standard head unit in my S4... it started out okay, but certain amp would not work (mono blocks), now my standard amp is starting to suffer the same - int comes mostly from the engine/alternator. I have run a second earth to the back of...

    wheel width on a B5...9J too big?

    I thought the 8.5's could stick out a little... so 9's could be worse? I have 8's and they suit the car so well!

    Got me the B5 S4, finally!

    VAG-Com on your own is okay, but you cannot perform a full leak test and diagnosing a failing MAF is not straightforward. Gauranteed you will have 1 of it not all of the following faults: MAF (And potentially as a result failing EGT) Diverter Valve(s) shot Boost Leak The last one of course...

    Knocking on the front suspension !!

    Get arms from VAG-Parts or S4woody over on RS246.com - he beats VAG-Parts prices and great service. Just ordered a full set for myself. Good job diagnosing where the noise was coming from. Often you cant see where it is coming from and with 8 separate arms on the car its hard to spot which...

    Got me the B5 S4, finally!

    Very nice... If you can afford it get yourself a full set of control arms... between 400-500 quid. Diagnosing which arm is causing the noise is virtually impossible, dont throw your money down the drain with dealers... they had me spend nearly 2k on arms with them then finally said its the...

    The S4 is at the dealers

    Having spent over £2000 wtih Audi on my 2.8 Quattro on various suspension parts only to finally be told that I needed a new steering rack to fix my noises I told them to F-Off, managed to get some money back from Audi customer services. I then took the car to a specialist... £150 for...

    raced a amd remapped s3 today

    It is specific to the model year I believe. Mine is a facelift version with the digital clocks. I am not sure what models it is compatible with. May be worth checking with MTM fitters here in the UK...

    raced a amd remapped s3 today

    Standard HEALTHY S4 would be neck and neck in a straight line, round a track the S3 probably quicker. The problem is 50-70% of S4's (even enthusiasts) have S4's that require a bit of TLC... New MAF, EGT's etc... so you may think a remapped S3 is quicker. Stapo69 a classic example of...

    AWE Drivetrain Stabilizer

    one of the best things I did to my car. It stiffend up the feel of the car and it just felt SOOOOO MUCH better. The car felt 5 years younger. My car had only done 36k at the time, so I expect cars with higher mileage would see even greater improvements. GREAT MOD!!!!! Quick and easy to...

    S4 Running costs

    MTM chip 300BHP - town driving 200 miles out of a tank; 350 miles out of a tank cruising under 90. Servicing should really be done every 5-7000 miles with good quality oils. Initial purchase expect to spend a couple hundred quid sorting niggles like MAF, Diverter valves, boost leaks, after...

    MRC Tuning-Any Good ?..Your views please

    My only single complaint of MRC is things are badly organised and your car can be in for longer than necessary because of easily avoidable delays. This is frustrating when it is your daily transport. I still use MRC, I just make sure I keep on top of Doug and see that he follows through on...

    B5 S4 to buy or not to buy

    The S4 offers the best ratio of that level of performance and economy. I managed 250 miles out of a tank from my MTM chipped S4 running 300-330ish bhp and around 220 around town. Not many heavy 300+hp cruisers can offer this mileage. The S4 if you are lucky not to suffer turbo failure are...
