Hi,
I am totally new to this forum. I've had a P reg audi coupe 2.0 DOHC (brought for 1000 pound in 2007)and loved it but that was before the internet properly kicked off so i didn't know how to look after it and it died very shortly after me buying it. (best few months of my driving career.)
I've now got an 56 plate Audi A4 Avant 1.8T b6 SE and need to know a few things as I've just got it.
1. It seems to have a quietish dump valve that kicks in at just over 2/3k RPM is this normal/a problem?
2. What does the B6 stand for?
3. Its got S line badges on the side and a real sexy bodykit/skirts that look original (or taken from an Audi where it is standard or an optional extra but i dont know if it is.) has this been put on after like i think it has?
4. What kw would this be as the internet says 140 but the original manual says it will be 120 max.
5, It has a few issues. The engine i plugged into a diagnostic machine and it said it was fine but the electrics are a bit messed up, biggest problem is that you can't put the passenger window down from the drivers side. can i fix this myself? and how easy is it as i'm not a mechanic by a long shot.
6. Will RS4 seats fit straight in? or which seats, preferably leather, would you suggest as the ones in it are a bit knackered... (intimate fluid looking marks on them) lol.
7. What alloys can i put on it (size wise) that will fit? ideally i want multi spoke ones but dont want to mess up the amazing audi styling that it has as I love how sexy it is now. It has aftermarket alloys ATM but they are scratched to sh*t so need to replace them. I would like 21 spoke or BBS style ones to keep in line with the car.
Finally:
8. What upgrades should i do first as i want to make it quick as f**k but dont want to ruin the engine. I'm looking at doing Brakes, suspension and air filter first. Good plan?
I would appreciate any help here guys and will show pics as i'm doing it..... Mainly to show off to other Audi fanatics! This is my second chance of helping the Audi back to its former glory!
