go buy it now :)

well as for mpg i have only had the car a week so still getting my mpg right,

were you expecting less/ more

i drive both country and main roads to work depends how i feel i do not really watch mog more how many mile i have left in the tank

but have not yet had to fill it up went down to half a tank today had done 189 miles

but second half normaly goes down quicker

i do find it is a car i do not boot around i drive i lot more sensibly than any of my other cars, but does go when you want it to

and hangs on nicely round corners

get one love the car

ps mine is a S plate with 94K on it full audi history and is better than a couple of 60K ones i saw i managed to full audi history as well

these cars will just go on forever i would say set your mileage limit around the 95 mark

 

got it for 7k as key scratch down one side but iwll only cost 400 to get out

i don't know too much about Audis and although if i get one it'll be standard and stay standard (famous last words :rolleyes:) but i've noticed on the piston heads classifieds that a lot of them have been modified by a fair few bhp. Is it as simple and cheap as modding a supra or is there much more to it?

 

I've heard people talking about "chipping" them but surely if it was that simple why wouldn't Audi do this to start with ? or have they and called it the RS4 ?

yeah it is that simple and very very safe to the engine

basically you take it into a tuner they download the program

the program basically get "rewritten" by which ever company you choose

then it gets put back onto you ecu with all the opriginal wudi codes so everything works the came

if you went to audi they would never know the difference when they plug into it

it takes about 3-4 hours and about 500 - 600 quid and you got from 280 to about 340-360 bhp

it makes a massive difference to the tourque curve and it is the first thing to do to the car

it is basically a ecu reflash

the only dirrence between the s4 and rs4 on that year is they turbo's manifold and ecu

so basically that is what audi did

 

easy to change the turbos etc if you want even more power

looking around on audi forums there is lots of easy accessable power

from audi forum

ecu reflash - 320-360 hp(depends which reflash company is chosen)

exhaust and filter 360hp

rs4 turbos and manifold 400+hp

so yeah easy power to get if you want it

and the car will stay as reliable as the day it was new

 

this is a big thing at the moment that is happening to most of the german cars

i had my golf gt tdi done

went from 150 to 195hp on a diesel

I'm gona try and drive some S4's this w'end as well as some 530's. I have to say, in standard form i love the look of a black 530, but the drive i'm sure i will enjoy more from the S4, i'm just concerned i will be in the same boat fuel wise as i was with the supra.
