Audi S4 any good?

[murf138]

Thinking of maybe getting a Audi S4 but would like some feed back from any current or previous owners? My last car was a skyline r33 2.5 turbo with the standard 250bhp, I was very happy with the performance of it and am just wondering would the audi be up there with it? And are they reliable? Sorry by the way i mean the older 2.7 bi turbo models!!

Ive got an S4 on a S plate.When i bought it,it had 80,000 miles on (which is quite low compared to all other S4's of this age) and it cost me £6,500,which was a bargain not to be missed.Ive had it since Nov and i love it.They are also very tuneable,(as your prob aware,same engine in the older RS4 kicking out bout 380bhp).I would recommend one.Im very happy with mine,and it has everything in it that i could want (full leather,xenon headlights,cruise control) and i just love the look and the layout of them. 265bhp as standard.Dont think you will be dissapointed though.

Happy car hunting

IS remapping expensive? and will it reduce the the lifespan of thr turbo by much?

Have a peek on...
AMD and QS. Lots of options I ran for the 345 upgrade from QS for over a year and it never missed a beat.

I have an MTM chipset in my S2, and whilst it isnt bad, its nothing compared to a real time custom remap.

Check out these guys: www.mrctuning.com/

They currently have two S4's of their own, one possesses silly amounts of power and the other is alledgidly 400bhp.

They are very into the VAG scene and know their stuff when it comes to turbo charged Audi's, oh and the prices are pretty reasonable considering as opposed to many 'cheque book tuners'.

AmD is no more in Bicester, see here: www.amdtechnik.com/news.read.cfm?articleid=35
