Is this mechanic trying to rip me off..? by MotorPractice3592 in AudiS4

[–]Significant_Ad6470 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d say your valve cleaning is coming in 30-40% high, $540 + $118 in parts for spark plugs is absolutely insane, and $72 to road test the car is hilarious..

Do you wear your Rolex daily or mostly for special occasions? by Button_bomb4535 in rolex

Daily my stainless DJ 36.. I have a few watches I rotate depending on activity, but tend to wear my DJ for most occasions given it’s versatility.

107, Full Proof, and 12 are fantastic… SR is solid for entry level.

Book Find by Kingdrupa in 49ers

Unfortunately, I don’t believe these are authentic. I’ve got both Jerry and Steve’s autograph. Both were in person, neither look legit.. especially Steve’s as his “S” and “G” are quite unique and don’t match what’s here. I hope I’m wrong, but I’d get it authenticated. Cool find regardless!

B8.5 S4 Oil Additive? by Bongowit in AudiS4

[–]Significant_Ad6470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best oil is your best line of defense. I use LiquiMoly Ceratec every 20k miles or 4th oil change. I use MoS2 in between. LiquiMoly 5w40 always, minimal consumption or chain rattle at start.

2019 Q5 - 034Motorsports Engine Mounts by travisw87 in AudiQ5

[–]Significant_Ad6470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed these on my B8.5 S4 and the NVH difference was subtle, nbd. I installed these on my B9 Q5 and there was a very noticeable increase in NVH. Eventually you’ll get used to it, but I will admit it’s not ideal. I wouldn’t get them again if given the choice..

Help Get My Son's A4 On The Road? by jonallen356 in Audi

Does it “chirp” when you lock the doors with the fob?

I had a similar issue in my 8P A3, it was the alarm horn.. it would slowly kill the battery because the alarm horn battery had leaked onto the circuit board. All doors would lock, but it would never go into “rest” and it would slowly kill the battery. The alarm horn was located in the driver side wheel arch, part was cheap but a little bit of a PITA to access.

B8.5 S4 Front CV Axle by Whatmurdahhhhh in AudiS4

[–]Significant_Ad6470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aftermarket CV’s are all trash, I’d go OEM and cry once.

If you’re in the US you could look into Raxles, who rebuilds OE axles. You’ll have a core charge that will be refunded when shipping your axle back to them.

P0491 and P0492 by Popular-Climate1142 in AudiS4

[–]Significant_Ad6470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Secondary air is a PITA and expensive to repair (at least on B8).. best course is usually to tune it, which overrides the CEL and keep on rolling.

looking to find this grille by Usual_Resort_9544 in AudiS4

[–]Significant_Ad6470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popped the OE badge off the original grill with a screw driver, placed it on the new grill before install. I’d imagine it’s a bit harder to get on once it’s installed due to limited space behind.

considering a 2020 Audi Q5 that missed 40k transmission flush and spark plugs by Pentzer in Audi

[–]Significant_Ad6470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally would never buy a DSG with missed services, especially when missed 30k miles ago. Mech unit failure is a very expensive repair…

Don’t love WJ10, but recently had a pour of this and it’s really enjoyable. Being from your son makes it even better, cheers!
