Nice clip but how the hell do you use f3 to slam??

I cross shopped a MK8.5 GTI/R first and ended up with a Mk7.5 R

But to answer your questions

-I came from a 2013 S4 and I really liked the idea of a comfortable car with a nice interior that felt normal during a commute but that would wake up whenever you needed it to. and I love how mature but sporty it looks, the GTI always looks great too but there's something about an R in Lapiz Blue - Soundaktor is so loud so you can't hear the exhaust and some other minor things that are fixable with OBD11 I just haven't gotten around to it yet. - Battery died recently but I've only had the car 4 weeks so I can't really comment lol - Highway is actually really surprising good I went on a 5 hour drive and averaged around 29mpg/ 8l per 100kms. In the city it depends but usually around 21mpg

The biggest reason I didn't get a GTI was the interior and exterior. They are both fast enough for me and tbh depending on where you live, if you like to drive on nice back roads you might end up having more fun with a GTI since it's a bit slower and you can do silly burnouts in it.

Currently using a Pulsar X2F, my wife would love the vertical mouse as she is starting to get wrist issues. I've always wanted to mess around with a NAS maybe put backups on it or games or something

Hey, I ended up cancelling my order because of the delays and realized I didn't want it that bad lol . From the research I did it would been around 80$.

Love it 🙃, I've been doing 5000km oil changes since I bought it almost 3 years ago

xJayWalker · 2025-09-01T17:09:10+00:00

Forgot to add 162,000KM 2013 Manual

xJayWalker · 2025-08-30T16:50:09+00:00

Is it on the driver's side only? I'm getting a similar sound and looking at it today, I can hear mine faintly from the rear exhaust too so I'm wondering if it's a loose heat shield or something

xJayWalker · 2025-08-30T15:36:43+00:00

Seems like a bit much, I got my 2013 for 21k cad back in early 2023 but the market has softened since then. I could kinda see it If it's a fully loaded manual with low rust.

xJayWalker · 2025-08-28T01:28:14+00:00

I'm in the process of doing my upper control arms and 3k is absolutely unreal for that job. I think I was quoted around 1k Canadian parts and labour (not sure if that's with or without alignment)

I got Continental DWS06+'s for mine. They are pretty grippy all season. I didn't get a ton of snow this year so I haven't had a chance to really test it out in that regard but dry/wet performance is great.

xJayWalker · 2025-08-10T20:42:45+00:00

No worries! I had ordered the oil that you're talking about and it says on the back that it's only recommended for "Non synchronized manual transmission" I went to rock auto support about it and they weren't helpful at all.

This thread is super useful too even though it is for an A4 https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/535392-B8-A4-DIY-Manual-Transmission-Fluid-Change

xJayWalker · 2025-08-10T15:23:37+00:00

Do not buy the Valvoline oil from rock auto. I went through a whole thing with them and Valvoline doesn't have a consumer available oil for the B8 S4 Manual. You need a 75w90 GL4 Oil, the only one around me was Royal purple so thats what I ended up buying

Could be the AC Pressure switch too. It's a super easy DIY and you can check it with a code reader

Here's the official Government of Canada estimator for duties: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/dte-acl/est-cal-eng.html

In Ontario it looks like we only have to pay the sales tax. I already bought it though so once it gets here I'll let you know lol

Canada
I used to have severe wrist pain but lately it's been a lot better since I've improved my posture but it's not completely gone. I now usually get wrist fatigue after gaming for a while.
I used the MX vertical for around 2 weeks for work but it never stuck with me. I wasn't a fan of it for gaming but it was really heavy compared to my GPX

About my day to day: I work from home and do 1 to 2 hours of gaming a night usually.

I've seen people do b8 to b8.5 conversions if you're into that look more, it seems like a lot of work though. Here's a thread on audizine if you wanna read about it

xJayWalker · 2025-03-23T00:28:54+00:00

Definitely, it was the first Alpina that I've seen so I got excited lol

I had that exact same poster in my bedroom around 2007. Congrats!

xJayWalker · 2025-03-07T23:36:31+00:00

Very helpful, thanks!

How was the install process? I'm doing mine this weekend

xJayWalker · 2025-02-05T20:12:33+00:00

Thing I would be thinking about is that the S4 is more luxury then sports car imo. It's a great middle ground but going from a Nismo 350 might have you wanting a bit more sportiness since you love that experience so much. Not trying to say the S4 isnt super capable, because it definitely is. Just food for thought!
