BUYERS GUIDE

The famous second generation Audi S4 (B5) Is a vehicle that receives mixed reviews worldwide for both its gut-wrenching performance, and its dirty mechanical dark side. Many would argue that this is the greatest performing engine architecture produced by VAG (Volkswagen Automotive Group) However, many other enthusiasts avoid it like the plague because of its grueling maintenance schedule.The second generation (B5) Audi S4 was produced in Europe from the years 1998 to 2002. Released in the United States for sale as a 2000 model year, the S4 came equipped with great features such as auto-leveling headlights, heated mirrors and seats, adjustable electric lumbar support, aluminum front suspension assemblies, and a host of other technologically advanced features. Ten years later, many of these features still perform flawlessly on these cars. With roughly only 10,000 S4's ever released for sale in the United States, parts are becoming scarce and specialty parts suppliers are popping up all over the country to meet the increased demand of the growing S4 enthusiast population. The greatest concentration of these vehicles in the US can be found on the West Coast (California, Oregon, and Washington) and in greater concentrations on the east coast in New England. The New England weather tends to be very tough on these vehicles, with many of them succumbing to owner abuse, neglect, cold weather, severe corrosion, and hot summers. Often times, the most important part of this car, the motor, is left untouched for years at a time. The following is a documentation of one of these cars, which includes details of every common issue associated with these motors.


Important notes:

These vehicles take phosphate free (G12) coolant and synthetic oil. We recommend Liqui-Moly 5w-40 for these vehicles. In the rare situation that the cylinder head lifters are weakening from abusive driving and are making a "ticking or tapping" noise, we recommend 0w-40, as the thinner oil travels faster to the area of poor pressure (in this case, the lifters and lifter bores)


Now why would someone want to fix a car so old?
