New Addition To the Family

[Trev_Scott]

2004 Audi A4 1.8t Quatro. Needed something a little more reliable and better on gas for school. It no DSM but it gets the job done.

Bought it completely stock and so far have added: Ecode FMIC, APR1+ ECU Flash, 386cc injectors, Test pipe, Forge 007 Diverter valve, Turbo Inlet Pipe with AEM dry-flow filter and custom heat shield.

dude those are sweet ass cars

[Mark Guthrie]

nice car! jamie oswald would be humping your leg right now if he was ever around, hes big into these cars

[Drew Sale]

ya definitely a nice ride. lol and jamie would indeed be all over you if he ever found out another member here bought an A4. his is really nice too, i'm actually quite impressed with how his turned out so far

I might be looking at one of these for an incoming family and better room.

What kinda mileage do you get from this?


And about what price did you pay?

[Trev_Scott]

About 550-600km's per tank mostly driving in the city. I spend my Monday-Friday at BCIT and I live in Langley and take the #1 all the way to school and back (stop go traffic the entire way).

I picked this one up for about $500 more then what the trade in value was. He was just going to trade it in for the new A4. They normally go in the range of 17,000-22,000 depending. I found it completely stock, fully loaded, very low km's, one owner, full dealer service history, with one accident back in 2005. It needs a little work (t-belt change and steering rack) easy and relatively cheap if i do the work myself.

And with the few mods i added its perfect.

[Michel Paiement]

your starting to take away the economy and drive ability lol

[Trev_Scott]

If anything i added a little more driveability.

These cars are gutless when stock. 170hp/tq. Now shes up in the 235hp 290tq area.

Not to bad for a little 1.8t with a computer fan for a turbo

[Josh Royle]

nice

[Osme Velic]

Funny, how you said, you needed something more reliable and gas friendly. Then you list the mods...Gotta love car guys, we just cant leave anything alone...ahaha...Although the only mod my beemer has gotten so far was a set of winter rubbe floor mats...AHAHAH...In the spring the mods will start..

[Fred Cheng]

Nice!  Love it.  So many mods already! 

My sister has an '03 1.8T Avant (silver as well)... on factory sport suspension still but drives and handles so nice!

Been eyeing '05-'06 S4 Avants's as a daily driver... so maybe I'll join you soon... once I figure out how this'll all work with my upcoming first mortgage. ack.

Anyway, congrats!

I love those s4 avants...  Theres one by my house I drive by everyday.  So nice.  Heard they are a monstrous pain in the ass to work on though; i.e. pull the motor to do timing belt, water pump etc...  That said, if I could afford it I'd prolly get one.

[John Hartman]

nice car for sure.  If its getting that much better mileage than your Talon, something was wrong with the Talon.  I can go 475-550k to a tank in my red car and its making pretty good power   And thats gauranteed a smaller tank than the Audi.

Not dissin your ride, its very nice and much nicer to ride in than most DSM's, but the mileage thing don't cut it 

if you are actually putting out 290ft/lbs to the wheels thats amazing for a 1.8 with those few mods.

[Matt Mann]

With all do respect, what is the big deal with these Audis? is it because they are turbo so more power potential??

[John Hartman]

very well built, awd, 5 or 6 spd, 5valve turbo engine, very sophisticated suspension, big brakes, much more modern awd system, and the bling big shot styling/name.

if you want an awd car, you have few choices for a sort of decent price.
