My b5 s4 has been nothing but good to me. Going from k03’s to tte550’s on e85, theres not many cars i come across that are faster. Treat these cars nice and they’ll treat you well!
Nice how much are you pushing?
@@georgee6375 Somewhere around 470-480 whp
it is ridiculous how fast these cars are even stock.. my S4 B5 I bought stock and it runs like hell... even modern German cars have troubles to keep up... oil change every 10.000km wich is around 6.000 Miles and only 100 octane... KW Suspension and all rubber metal bearings replaced with Polyurethan... in germany we say... das ding is ne kurvensau... wich means something like ... this thing is a curve pig... wich is good ... ^_^
i hate this car... but the love for it is even bigger... S Parts are super rare... even in germany and super expensive... and sitting in the back is an absolute pain in the ass... you have no room...
I’ve owned 1 B5 A4, 5 B5 S4s. My last S4 before buying my new B8.5 S4, it was a fully built stage 3 with RS6 Turbos making around 600 or so 🙏 best car I’ve ever owned
that sounds sick dude Id love to build this car with hella power if i had the time and money haha
Naj, bro you're funny as hell man. You describe every issue in such a understable comdeic way 😂😂 I'd pay to watch you. Keep it going man
Bro you were too funny and good. Please upload more b5 videos!!!
You honestly nailed all my concerns and loves about this car, all of them!
Hell yea excited for this series. Rapidly parts collecting to start a K24 build on a new to me Laser, interested to see the new aero designs
working on mine too its a love that cant be put into words.
Subscribed bud! Good luck with your project, I will be keeping a ken eye on your progress!
Here a year later and I’m so thankful I bought this from you🤙🏼 can’t wait to show u what I did to it
Pumped for this.
I’ve had a 2000 s4 for 12 years, 80k-175k. Stage 1 chip. You nailed all the issues especially the bumper and cup holder. Literally my only issues on the whole car
great video. keep them coming
Dude!!!!!!! I am so stoked you finally got one again. I been in the b5 s4 game for a very long time and I just accepted the fact that I will always have one lol. You are going to LOVE the b5 after not owning it forever. You will realize what you been missing! These cars are very special and people will soon realize that. Newer cars have ZERO personality or character.
Lol. My B5 S4 is the reason I upped my AAA to unlimited tows within 100 miles
Lmfao bro AAA gonna start asking if you own a b5 s4 when you sign up with them 😂😂
Finally some b5 content 😌 I own a s4 b5 4th owner 160k miles with stock turbos on stage 1 probably gana up grade to rs6 turbos soon hopefully 🙏
Great synopsis. Have had a B5 S4 for about 7 years. Used to do my own maintenance for a long time. Finally took it to a specialist and told them to do EVERYTHING. Ended up being an engine out, turbos seals etc. but now I have the most reliable B5 S4 I’ve ever met. Except for the wipers. They just decided to freak out.
Hey just found your channel. Great content. You should definitely make more videos!
Hi would you say a well maintained, low km RS4 B5 is of higher build quality & has less problems than the B7 & B8?
LoL good job dude….I’m working on mine as well installing Tial 605 etc.
I love the b5 but in all honesty the c4 is better in nearly every aspect.
It is less money, vastly more reliable, has massive potential for power, is extremely well built, sounds great (the b5 sounds great too), handles well, is easy to work on and insurance is less and yes...again, is vastly more reliable.
Not digging on the awesome b5 simply looking at this objectively (and from personal experience).
Thats my take.
This was too funny the cup holders part had me dead
Its very tiring to continually hear that the S4 B5 is unreliable. I bought mine in 2004 (five years old and 68k miles on the clock) and it has now covered 295k miles and has never let me down. I will probably never sell it as I enjoy it to much and it is just so practical: load carrier, perfect winter vehicle, Quattro stability, etc. Sure it requires maintenance but thats true of all cars. I am in the process of replacing the heater core and the A/C evaporator which is a bitch of a job. Personally I think that people tune the f%ck out of them and then are surprised when things start to fail. Stop dissing the S4 B5.
Same here just hit 300k on my 2.7 stock have less than 3 grand into the car
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks bro!!
😂 mannn..subbed! Really good vids dude.
Bro I can so relate to this video right now haha! i've had my engine & transmission out to do clutch and flywheel. honestly better off taking the motor out and fixing everything
My first car was a B5 S4 back in '06 and I am making it my mission to get one again. Only problem it ever had was me being an abusive driver to it and I promise not to be the same
Love my b5 A4! Went to a junkyard and found a s4 bumper for 50$, sold it for 500$!!
I loved mine wish I could get it back but I now have 2 A4's but I'm looking for an S4
Ive had a regular A4 B5 with the 2.8, I miss it like crazy and want an S4. I did a ton of maintenance on it and I may as well have bought an S4 in the first place back then. I dont think it would have been too much harder to work on to make it not worthwhile
Naj comin in hot with the tow truck
Lmao BEEP BEEP
My B5 S4 has been very reliable for me. Give it the attention it deserves and you’ll be fine.
But bro you got me rolling talking about the flaws. “Stare at the front bumper long enough and it will crack” 😂😂😂
Agree on the front bumper, impossible to find
Please continue the b5 s4 series
I must have got lucky. Around the same time you posted this, i got my manual one for 4k with a whole new engine lol...and electrical problems...and an exhaust leak...lmao
i bought my 02 b5 s4 automatuc bone stock off an old man for 4k 180k miles not a single problem and 20 years of service records only thing ive had go wrong is brake lines and coolant leak
7:05 - 1st 2nd gear synchros on the 2000.
I've had a B5 for almost 73 years and it still runs like factory state.
As a huge fan of this car, this commentary is gold and fucking hilarious lmfao
Have owned 4. 2 sedans , 2 Avants. 3 6spd and 1 tippy. Besides a few minor issues like intake rubber boot, typical leaky cam seals and 1 blown turbo, no issues. Is working on them a bitch ? Yes, but that comes with performance. Are they monsters ? HELL YES! So easy to push 500 hp without blinking. Not the great track car due to a very heavy nose, but seriously fun on the street. And built like a Tiger tank.
What’s the latest update?
Guys, someone is selling a 2000 B5 for $5000 Canadian. 120,000 km. Looks great. Jump on it? I feel like for $5000, I an handle any reliability issue and fix it/mitigate it. Great video btw :) I laughed at the "Manual swap that sh*t" haha.
dude yes if its manual...
@@TheNaj Definitely Manual. If it's a lemon or abused, I could probably part it out easily and sell the shell. I think it's an old person selling it. Going to see it tomorrow night hopefully.
hahahahahahahah You are the man!!!! I love this video lol.
Omg ive owned my noggy s4 for 3 yrs and never realized or thought of the cup holders under the arm rest! 😂 i only thought the car had 1 cup holder haha is there even room to shift though with a drink in there?
The best thing about the car is that to fix something on the engine you have to "put the car in the service position"...if you work on the car yourself - that means taking the front of the car off or at least most of it so you can slide it out - or just say F- it and take the whole front off.
If you don't work on your own B5 S4 that "service position" is right in front of the Audi service desk where you bend over! Rock
Oooo baby that syncro issue is a bitch, make sure to upgrade when you pull it. I ran into the issue out of nowhere stock
I got a B5 A4 2.8 that I swapped a 2.7T along with a 01E... I also ended up getting a AAA membership 😂
@Naj, b5 s4 vs b9 s5 when?
as soon as i get the B5 running mate hahaha
Hit me up when you meet the engineer of the bumper.
Couldn't disagree more with the initial statements. 50k on my sorted K04 in the last 3 years. It met a tow truck once, when the slave failed.
Do them correctly, and it's a tank. But it takes patience
Well you're 100% right. If these things are kept with the RIGHT WAY, Im very confident it may never even need a tow truck ever. however, due to the nature of how hard it is to work on, 99% of the previous owners didnt keep up with it the way theyre supposed to.
hilarious, couldn't stop laughing... I own a 2001 2.7 bi-turb Allroad... love it... all DIY refurbished, a pleasure to drive, but the C5 in general with larger engine bay better body feature design than the B5, thus easier to work on.. but more of an old man's or family car than a driver's car like the B5. still can't get the old upstream O2 sensor changed out.. need a new trick, or just more patience. someone recently suggested using freeze spray first... than a lot of pre-taps with a small sludge hammer to wake it up... suggestions appreciated...
01 296k no problems
The S4 B5 Facelift wont blow, its the 1997-1998 after that also 1999-2001(2002) it is bulletproofed = AZB = bad/ AGB = 500.000km(aproofed), we in europe only have the manual, whats good and makes fun i bought mine 6 months ago, Avant in Nogaro with 315xxxkm(197xxxmiles) and the car costed my 5.500 for american standarts this is like you would buy in 6/2022 an Manual/ Avant/ Nogaro Blau S4 B5 for 4.000$
I have replaced virtually everything in my b5 from interior to timing belt/turbos/clutch/fw/starter/etc etc etc this car is not for the weak and broke no offense to anyone
Lol. This is epic...
500*
Ahahah 😂 i think every b5 owner felt like beating the previous owner lmfao
Jeezzus just buy a bmw if you hate this car so much. I love mine and is not perfect but what car is perfect this car is not for broke teenage boys that work at McDonald's but for someone that has at least 10k in the bank just in case, if you want a reliable car get a toyota corolla or settle for the ugliest chick,. 😂
LMAOO bro no matter how many issues I had with any of my B5's I always got love for this car. However, I still want to throw hands with the designers of the cup holders and front bumper fam hahahaha
