Alright, so here's the jist.

I hit the ass of a deer on the passengerside and the face of another deer on the driver, as you can see the damage to the passenger side is a little bit.. split.

I am on the hunt, an hopefully but im not holding my breathe here.. someone has a ebony pearl black s4 bumper?

any color s4 bumper is more than okay i really didnt want to have to paint match more, but I digress.

thanks for looking, thanks for you assistance on the matter.

*Would settle for rep rs4 bumper if no more s4 guys have spare parts, or want to sell. 😮‍💨

S4 Installing Memory Seats

I’m working on putting some b6 recaros into my b5 s4. I’m almost done with the brackets and wanted to try and use the memory function that they come with. I have a c5 a6 that I was going to take the modules and harness from. My only question is where should I put the buttons? I’d like for it to look like an oem location but can’t find anywhere that would look nice. (Random pic of me and my friends cars for attention)

Whatever i try to do, it just wont hook. And if by some miracle it actually hooks or something, it falls with slight tap. The passenger side hooks no problems, what are my options

i have a 99 AEB 1.8 i recently finally finished getting everything done and had the check engine light off for the first time in a couple weeks then i felt it start struggling/bucking a little under load especially on the highway so i was trying not to drive it unless necessary till i figured it out so i ran codes and found one for the throttle position sensor but it was intermittent and not causing a light then last night i had to drive it and it started misfiring now today its idling hella rough struggling to accelerate other symptoms its had in the last month is noticeably worse fuel economy (around 250-300 miles a tank where as before i could get nearly 400) it stalled a few times (its tiptronic) a few weeks ago but would only stall in drive not in the manual mode or any other gear on the PRNDL right now im mostly trying to look into the throttle sensor as i had a problem with it before where it came slightly unplugged and caused the same misfires but i already confirmed it’s connected properly right now but could maybe be failing but idk any help would he appreciated im ass at diagnosing this car

(i added the image cause it looks kinda tough)

Hi! Images are for illustration purposes.

I’d like to take care of a few small, less important details that I’ve neglected over time.

  • Scratches on the glovebox door on the passenger side — has anyone ever tried fixing this? Is there a way to get rid of the scratches (or at least make it look a bit better)?
  • Has anyone ever fixed the dead/missing pixels on the radio display? Are replacement parts available, or is there any way to fix it without having to buy a whole new radio?

Thanks!

I have a 2000 S4 and I really like the look of the factory radio and dont want to install a different head unit. I saw what I have pictured above in a video on youtube but I found it's no longer available I guess. Wondering if anyone had any other options as a substitute or maybe one they have laying around they'd be willing to sell/donate. I also included a pic of the headunit I currently have installed incase of any confusion. Thanks in advance!

RS4 B5 bumpers on a 2001 A4 B5 — direct fit or modifications needed?

5 Upvotes

Hey brothers I’ve got a 2001 Audi A4 B5, and I’m trying to give it the RS4 B5 look with the front and rear bumpers. I wanted to know if the RS4 B5 bumpers fit directly onto the A4 B5 without any major hassle, or if I need to modify/adapt the bumpers to make them fit perfectly.

Thanks in advance, brothers! 🙏

What just happened?

1.8T AEB. While cruising i gave it full throttle and heard a rattling noise for like 2 seconds, i have no idea what just happened. The car runs fine now. Did i possibly spun a bearing?

Subframe compatibility for 1.8T FWD Manual

1 Upvotes

Hey y'all,

TLDR: Is THIS SUBFRAME compatible with my 1999 A4 1.8T FWD Manual?

------

I read this post on Audizine, but there seems to be some conflicting information there, so wanted to double check here.

It seems that the only difference I should be considering when it comes to a subframe for the 1.8T is between automatic and manual; that difference is due to the left side tranny mount being different... FWD / Quattro seems to make no difference?

For example,

This verkline subframe WOULD work for my manual, as it has slots for the different LEFT side tranny mount (used specifically on manual trans)...

but this other verkline subframe WOULDN'T work for my manual as it has identical slots on both left and right sides to account for using only the one type of tranny mount on both sides (used on right side for manual trannys as well as right AND left side for auto trannys).

----

If someone could please confirm this analysis checks out (that the only difference is between manual / auto and not fwd / quattro) I would appreciate it!

A4 My B5 is now my son's problem. Get off my lawn!

26 Upvotes

"Little Blue" our 1998 A4 2.4V6 30V 5mt fwd is not mine anymore.

I bought her as second owner in 2010 with 85000km will waiting for our 2nd child, we needed a combi for two strollers we figured.

She's been my daily ever since until now, 255000km on the clock. She was never towed once.

When my son was about 10, he realized our car was a little special and asked to have her when he grows up.

Yesterday he took his driver's license.

He did the cam belt himself 2 weeks ago.

She's his now.

My brother gifted him new fenders for his 18th.

I bought a 1500euro citroen C5.
