Hey guys always wanted a S4. Put a deposit on a 00 S4 6 speed, blk/blk a ton of miles over 200k however comes with a folder of receipts. Ran good, no leaks, smoke or noises. the only things I noticed were PS pump was a bit noisy and getting into 2nd was not that smooth. ps hoses seeping under bumper. Hope it holds up for a few years.

Giac chipped
Bilstein shocks
brace

otherwise stock

Welcome to the B5 family! I'd recommend getting the a repair manual and VAG com software, if you plan on keeping the car and repairing it yourself.

I'd recommend replacing the tranny fluid to improve shifting into 2nd gear. It sounds like the P/S pump may have a worn bearing and the hoses need to be replaced.
