Any Audi A4 Quattro Owners?

[R-SPEC]

Hi

im looking at selling my r34 and buying a clean a4 quattro

was just after some tips from any people here that own/have owned one etc (i know its a long shot) on what to look for when inspecting one as im new to european cars. also if anyones had any bad/good experiences with them etc anything really

specifically i'm looking at the A4 Quattro "s" line which aparently has the same bodykit as the S4/RS4 or something

thanks in advance

bLaQ.bOi owns one, last time I saw him.

+ he is on your side of town, just PM him and see what he says.

Apologies in advance for this, but...

I was looking into B5 S4 avants or B6 A4 avants about a year ago and ended up buying an M35 stagea. Bigger, cheaper, faster and easier to find a good one.

I owned an E36 BMW a few years ago too, and servicing wasn't bad. Replaced the radiator, water pump etc and didn't cost too much. As with anything, just do your research and wait for a good one to come along.

try www.ozaudi.com - that's where i found a couple i was interested in, but in the end the stagea was a much better option.

Having owned and driven a few Audi's.

In comparison to your R34 the Audi A4 quattro is;

* A super boring car. (Thats ok if you just want something to get around in, without any thrill).

* Far slower in every environment except ice, snow or heavy rain.

* Expensive to maintain.

* Very expensive to modify.

* Build quality is on par with nissan (ok but, not jaw dropping) but, thier selection of interior materials is very poor in terms of UV resistance and wear.

* The fuel ecconomy is better, slightly.

* Is more comfortable to drive

* Is safer in a crash

Thats all I can think of at the moment.

i did all the factory training when i was an apprentice for Audi (among othe marques like nissan and honda) and found them to be very well built, reliable but expensive to modify and repair. i remmeber an a6 needing new cats and they were 2700 each

im curious about this car too..

I have a B6 Quattro, have owned it for 3 years and moddifed it quite alot.

Full Revo stage 3+ turbo kit:

GT2871r Turbo

ATP Manifold

Electronic Boost Controller

Front Mount intercooler

3 inch stainless turbo back exhaust into Milltek twin system

New sachs clutch

New ECS tunning brakes (larger two piece discs) front and rear

ATP intake pipe

Forge Divertor Valve

BMC Air Intake

There is no S4 body kit, the S line is similar but not the same or there are (like mine) factory audi body kits which are called vortex kits.

They are not expensive to run or maintain at all, infact my GTR is mre expensive to maintain. My wife is currently driving the car and she averages 40-50,000km per year and it is a brilliant car.

i think there are major services to be done at 4years or 90,000km but if you go to an independant guy like Audvolks in Calyton Vic they are cheap and experts on maintaining these cars and brilliant to deal with.

The only thing to remember when modding them is that they will make decent power but it is not as easy to get as a skyline, and are limited as to the amount of power they will produce.

It is a pleasure to drive, safe, practical and cops don't even look twice. With the turbo kit it would eat a V8 S4 and uses less fuel. If I sold mine i would upgrade to an S4 and superchage it, the B6/7 is just a great car!

Ask away if you have any questions.

where did you track down all your mods??? thanks alot.

My buddy has a turbo A4, but alas, it's not a Quattro, so we call is the Twattro

There are a number of options to modify a B6, try the following websites:

atpturbo

034motorsport

eurocode

ecstuning

Forums:

Audizine

Qzaudi

There are plenty of parts for these cars and extensively modded in the US.

Mine is making between 200-210 awkw depending on boost and is a ready nice car to drive.
