2 weeks ago I drove from Leicester to north Devon to buy a 2000 Audi A4 1.8t Quattro, I previously dropped my B8 2.0 tdi to daily drive this vehicle!
Drove 240 miles home to Leicester and it didn’t skip a beat.
I had a look at the engine and it’s the AJL, (180bhp? I think)
It also has the red around the “T” on the badge
The day I bought it
Gave it a good clean and polish
The next day I replaced the battery as I was told it was struggling & definitely noticed it
The same day I decided to drop the oil and replace the filter.
The MANN filter I bought was quite a lot larger than the one I took off but all seems good I don’t really know what difference that would make.
I then bought a new head unit and wired in my subwoofer
This weekend I plan to change the air filter, cabin filter & fuel filter (absolutely dreading it as I hate the position it’s in)
Probably the spark plugs too!
Short term plans;
Remove the spoiler
Replace all the tyres
Upgrade or replace the brakes as they aren’t fantastic (coming from my B8 where I just had to breathe on the brake pedal and I’d go flying through the window)
Replace the solid flywheel with a dual mass
Honeycomb front grill with chrome delete
Try to source a RS4 front bumper or replica
Future plans;
Better exhaust system (quad tip probably)
Remap
Some sort of modern OEM wheels
