r/AudiS4

Looking to buy a 2011 B8 Audi S4.
But noticed the seats dont say S4 on it.
Is this normal or a red flag. Based on the photos, the car looks in good condition.

Hey guys, started hearing this annoying cracking while
turning the wheel at low speed or just when turning the wheel alone anybody got an idea what can that be?

2018 Audi S5 65k miles. Does anyone know if this is rocker arm failure? If it is, does anyone have any recommended shops to perform the repair? (Ideally south UK)

2021 s4 b9.5 has 68,xxx miles. Started hearing this noise issue like a week or 2 ago. Car is tuned by jackle but I haven’t noticed any performance issues. I know the car is loud and chatty but seem excessive from the wheel well. Also I know I will flag a TD1 from the dealer. Should I clone a ECU and send it in or should I buy 3rd party warranty and de tune for this? Please don’t confirm my fear of piston slap

had the rear wheel off so was inspectin for the hell of it. everything look normal?

Here are some more clips of the engine, the sound is there when the car is cold and warm, gets faster as rpm increases and does not go away over 2k

Hi all

Looking to purchase my first S4. It has 75000km. After the engine warmed up on the test drive, i noticed a ticking noise. Is this normal?

Does anyone run an intake like this on a B8/B8.5? Wondering how good the heat shield is at sealing across the top or would I need the additional carbon fibre cover?

Don’t mind the coolant clogging up lol gonna get that walnut blasted. Anyhow I need help with the manifold runners they don’t wanna sit down fully all the way. I’ve made sure all the gaskets are sitting evenly, I’ve applied even pressure all the way around the runners while holding the flaps open and for some reason it’s not wanting to sit down. Please help any tips are greatly appreciated thank you

Brittle clip snapped when I touched it, anyone got a part number or link for this guy?

She’ll be back on the road soon:)

Current asking price is 9k€, mileage 340k km (on the higher side yes)

Repainted a few years ago.

New front radiators.

MTS Street coilovers

Downpipe and Turboworks exhaust.

Headlining and A-pillars with new alcantara fabric

19" restored Audi rims

Headlights restored and interior rebuilt to proper condition

on bi-xenons.

New/rebuilt rear strut towers because of rust. Other suspension parts obviously have some surface rust as expected from age

Turbos were apparently restored a few years ago but current owner hasn't checked the clearances (bought it 2023)

New n75 valve

So i’ve had this feeling and ik it’s true😭 that the S4 isn’t reacting the way it’s supposed to it has a loss of power but isn’t in limp mode or any check engine light it has 120k miles so i know it’s still new ish but it won’t take off like it needs to like it’s missing the kick when i floor it it feels like my Old A4 where i floor it and it takes a bit to take off but i know the S4 used to instantly take off before. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction maybe it needs a part replaced or maybe it’s an early sign of a crucial part going out maybe or something simple thing is even sport and paddle modes feel off.

Also i’ve seen carbon fiber side mirror replacements on Cap for 100$ if i get these does it mess with the audi mods that help change light color or any different settings that i could change for those?

Traded my turbo teggy and b6 s4 away

I recently installed a JHM 207mm lower pulley, with ARP crank bolts and I have been running into a slip issue. Before this I had a ECS 207mm which I thought was causing the issue but it doesn't seem to be. I replaced the tensioner and idler pulley when I installed the ECS pulley about a month ago. I have a Bando 7PK1360 belt currently installed. Anyone else run into an issue like this? My only guess is maybe that the new OEM tensioner is bad. Any help is greatly appreciated.

changing the steering wheel and gear knob makes a huge difference. definitely recommend to anyone :)
