Not sure if it's in the Owner's Manual, but it's printed inside the Fuel Filler door.

Default I heard that PEB testing proved that the S4 would run perfectly on diesel

or a 50/50 blend of paraffin and EVOO (Ext V. Olive Oil)

Default well, now that the cat's outta the bag - yes, it runs perfectly on diesel

remove the spark plugs, use Champagne corks in their place (remove the hood, we'll tell you why later)

remove the ecu and just crimp all wires together.

Go for a ride, while passing hot chicks, push the ESP button, ALL corks will fire (this feature only works on MY 2001+)

make sure to always carry spare corks

pricing to follow

Default Well, if a CF hood is desirable due to weight savings

No Hood must be even better!

I commend PEB for their dedication to the Audi Enthusiast community...no doubt countless hours of testing were involved.

btw, has PEB devised a workaround for MY2000 S4s (no ESP)? After all, they need to be able to impress hot chicks, too!

if people want to impress chicks they need to buy a newer car. No solution for MY2000!
