Hello community,

I would really appreciate some advice from a collective that knows the b5 s4.

so my 2001 s4 avant in the last year has been VERY expensive. Im not expecting honda reliability but in 2009 I replaced both turbos due to failure, the timing belt, a differential seal, new brakes, and recently i replaced a tensioner bearing. I replaced the clutch in 2008 so that should last me a while.

I feel like after dumping 7k into the car I should hold on to it, and some audi techs told me that since i have done all the major services it should be good for a while. However, I have a hard time enjoying the car because Im waiting for something else to break.

I have 107k on the clock. What can i expect? advice appreciated

I'm with the techs. You dumped all that cash into the car, why sell it now? 107k isn't that bad.

I bought mine at 101k and had it chipped. Put another 87k on it and it still runs strong. I'd keep it especially since you replaced the turbos.

I agree with the other posters unless you know you can get more for the car (which I doubt). You should look at doing some mods to make you fall in love with your ride again. It will change the way the car feels depending on what you do...(chip, exhaust, suspension). I am not saying spend more money all at once but look at a few things over this year that might be inexpensive...

i know exactly what your talking about. I have an a4 and replaced the clutch, tranny, ball joints, rims and tires, and power steering line all in under 6 months. debating on staying audi....i love em though.

I changed everything in my 2.7T Allroad at 82k, timing belt, pump, and upgraded to basically RS4 clutch and turbo specs, plus taking out the air suspension and putting in 2Benett's coil overs and Brembo brakes. Now have over 112k and am about to put in an AWE intercooler system upgrade. The car runs like a rocket and I love it. Nothing comes close to what you can do with Audis.

Damn, you should have sold it and bought an s4 instead.

Too small for what I need. I have an OE towing hitch and haul stuff alot cross country. It's chipped to 370hp so has plenty of legs.

Oh no, I meant the guy with the A4. You're good with the allroad.
