Audi S4 B5 Avant
Hi,
Picked up my first Audi last night, a 1999 S4 (facelift) in silver with light cream leather. Good spec including sat nav and Bose, plus it's the estate. Have to say it's an awesome car! Great fun, uses a hell of a lot more fuel than my old Vauxhall VX220 though!
Looking back through the service history it looks like it's been well looked after by the previous owners, always getting serviced at Southampton Audi. I have read a few things about DV's, EGT's etc. being new to these cars I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at or what the terminology is, but I'm picking it up!
Found an invoice for a "valve" from Southampton Audi last year, part number ends in 710N, so I guess that's the DV you're all talking about. Anything else I should replace to be on the safe side? It had a major service end of 2006 including the cam belt, water pump etc. It also had the after run pump modification fitted last year, looks like this was done at Southampton Audi too.
Can you point me to a good supplier for parts, modification and standard replacement parts please? I have seen you talking about VAG Parts, is this the best place? What are the most desirable, can't live without modifications?
Thanks in advance!
