Default Audi S4 99 model opinions?????

Well after much time of building the sierras up and looking into the fact now I ned something more pratical for everyday use. With some poke, I have been looking at Audi s4 bi turbos. Just wondering if anyone has/or owns one. And to what you think? To drive, fuel as it will be a daily, reliabilty etc any help would be great full cheers guys

Reliable cars, remap to around 350bhp depending who does it. Get it checked out on vagcom and for boost leaks. Worth dealing with bahnstorm on newport pagnell road in northampton as cheaper than mrc by a lot and aiden know's his stuff (runs a 700-750bhp s4)

Brilliant cars, go very well indeed with a remap. Bit nose heavy and shit for rear leg room. Was planning on one myself but circumstances have changed so it's no longer viable

Thanks for the help guys. I have been trying to do as much research into one as I can. Also been looking at a 328i m sport.

agree with that, we took one to le mans one year and the rear passengers complained the entire journey

Good friend of mine had one with an MRC 400/400 conversion. Probably the fastest car I have been in to date.

all good, a fair few posts on here about them, never sat in the rear of mine, but probably ok for kids.

The basic remap, livens up and allready quick car.


might get another one myself as a daily, not much money for such a well built car.

I've just swapped my scooby for an A6 2.7 bi turbo and I love it! It's the estate version, running around 270bhp, really nice to drive and not too bad on fuel if on a steady run. Did 35mpg when I picked it up at a steady 7mph.
Go well in a straight line, bit rubbish around the bends but I'm sure new shocks and springs will sort that.
Going to take mine to the place in Northampton as mentioned above, heard good things about them.

My opinion?

Most under rated car ever produced,

performance and massive build quality, bit under steery but sorted with various mods.

upgrades are plentiful and cheap, change the turbo`s once and 600+bhp is yours with 2.4 heads and few other tweeks

My opinion?? I want one!!! And there's some really cheap ones out there. Seen some early examples for as little as Ł2600 with FSH. Now thats a hell of a lot of car for that sort of dough!!

Not surprising really, the A6 is 230bhp as standard and weighs a ton!!

What kind of fuel consumption would you see from a remapped S4? I want a runabout around that price tag but the B6 S4 I had a couple of years ago was quite thirsty?

Don't buy the negaro blue estate that's on eBay from Bradford with the way the car came past me on the m62 last week there's something fishy about it, never have I seen anyone drive like that on a motorway apart from on traffic cops

Speeding? Speeding is fine forcing me and other cars out of the fast lane then passing me and proceeding to go straight from the fast lane to the hard shoulder to undertake everyone whilst flicking stones and shit up everywhere then going straight back across 3 lanes however is not so rolleyes right back at ya cos I'm on my phone
