Damn boy, 10 weeks & 8K miles... you are a boss. Enjoying the car and its awesome so BOOM! As with any car, there are minor issues so its cool. Looks like you are enjoying the car so that's all that counts!
Kinda agree with you about the manual. I've driven manual consistently for about nine years and recently went into an auto due to increased amount of traffic to work.
Great video Eli! I'm glad that you're still happy with the car! It's funny that I was talking with someone today at a car show here in Long Island about putting mileage on the car. As long as you're happy, regardless if you're adding miles to the car or not, that's all that matter. Dude, that whine from the supercharger always makes me smile hahaha! Looking forward to the new exhaust!
I love my ultrasport B6 3.0 but if your an Audi VW owner your used to random issues popping up. Honestly, you have to love the cars in order to put up with them.
Hey so I just recently got an Audi S5 B8.5. I had same problem with the EPC light every time I beat on in and a lot more often after I put my intake in. I finally just had the sensor replaced and it fixed the problem. Haven't seen it since. The dealer told me it's a very common problem with these and they were covered under warranty to a certain mileage. I paid $150 and just had the dealer replace it.
Love the videos man. I just picked up a b8.5 ibis white s4 the other week. Absolutely love it. Installing an xpipe in place of the center res and deleting the front resonators as well.
I got the dsg too and I love it.my b5 is 6 speed so i can just drive that.I wouldn't buy the b8 stick just my preference.it shifts smooth and fast if you're buying one check out both before hand.👍
There is a TSB for some of the 3.0L supercharged cars in which if the incorrect length oil filter is used ( Stupid ... yes .. but Audis do not like cheapo aftermarket filters ) it will cause the Oil pressure sensor to trigger sometimes . If youre going to do an oil change... ONLY USE Audi, Bosch or Mann oil filters in these cars .
IgnitionTube good to hear ! I see a lot of people using fram filters and they start to collapse in on themselves after a while . Love the car by the way. Keep up the good work !
Hey man, great video as always. I was just wondering if you could give your opinion on golf 5 gti with over 130k miles on clock. Do you think it is still worth the risk to get one?
Cue Well, I can't afford something more expensive at least for now. So i have two options going for something fun like gti and find the best deal for me or either get booring car which would be more reliabe. I'm will go with the fun way, pick stock car with good service history :) Thanks for your opinion and for reading my thoughts
Evan Narvais Now i own kinda fun car golf 4 gti 2.0 (everyone knows that not real gti). The advice you gave me would be pretty good but now i'm student so i can't imagine how i would manage to save up that much per month. So i'm basically searching for something what i could afford and of course have fun
My supercharged Mercedes has some similar gremlins, like the radio thing. I have the Bose sound system and 3 times now I'll get in my car and the radio has no sound at all, its on but no volume. I also get a random "SRS emergency restraint system malfunction" warning ⚠️ that tends to go away if i just turn the car off and on again #GermanCarLife
start converting interior/exterior parts to carbon fibre man, makes it have more of a sport feel. edit: also how often do you find yourself filling the tank?
Do have your s4 grill? i have b8.5 Audi A4 Quattro, with a 6 speed manual. And I'm looking for a stock s4 grill. And I'm interested and buying it. Love the video
Cue I love his s4. Just saying these cars have slot of known issues. So I'm sure with your whole 5 years of experience you probably already know that. Lol
Damn boy, 10 weeks & 8K miles... you are a boss. Enjoying the car and its awesome so BOOM! As with any car, there are minor issues so its cool. Looks like you are enjoying the car so that's all that counts!
Crushing miles!!!
Kinda agree with you about the manual.
I've driven manual consistently for about nine years and recently went into an auto due to increased amount of traffic to work.
i bought my s4 in June 2016 with 32, 000 miles on it, right now it has 66,000 miles, in short, i absolutely love it!!
Credit Card Unboxings haha that's awesome how reliable has it been?
Bought my b8 in May. Got a revo 1+ pulley 93tune. Worth every dollar. Cai and straight piped, sounds crazy.
Had mine for 4 years 40,000miles. Freaking love this car. Can't imagine letting it go
Ray sanichar good reliable has it been?

true!!
By the way @IgnitionTube your s4 is awseome keep building it for you!

Yeah, if it gets more frequent I'll fix it! Thanks for the input!!
My oil pressure sensor went bad 1 week after I got my S4 as well. Got it fixed under CPO and been perfect ever since
I always watch your vids bro. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!!
You do an oil change every 10,000 miles? compering to you my rs4 get royal treatment-every 3,000
Love the videos man. I just picked up a b8.5 ibis white s4 the other week. Absolutely love it. Installing an xpipe in place of the center res and deleting the front resonators as well.
Nice! I'll let my exhaust setup be a surprise :)
I think the awe touring sounds best on these cars with dsg. But I'm really not trying to spend that much on exhaust at the moment.
I just learned this summer that my buddy knows you lol I was like whatttt
Nice video mang
Love this car man
I got the dsg too and I love it.my b5 is 6 speed so i can just drive that.I wouldn't buy the b8 stick just my preference.it shifts smooth and fast if you're buying one check out both before hand.👍
Have you had any DSG issues? I recently purchased an s4 , love your s4 man!
How has your S4 been if you dont mind telling? Im considering an S4 B8.5 under 60k miles
Maybe tint front fogs orange? For sure darken the tail lights 😎

I've heard that that may also be the issue, I only use Mann filters! :)

Depends how much they want for it
Evan Narvais Well i'm planning to spend 5-6k euro on it. So i have seen different ones in that price range
Gameris what are your plans with the car you purchase
Evan Narvais Now i own kinda fun car golf 4 gti 2.0 (everyone knows that not real gti). The advice you gave me would be pretty good but now i'm student so i can't imagine how i would manage to save up that much per month.

Vossen Wheels would be sick on your car
No thanks haha. I like my VMRs :)

start converting interior/exterior parts to carbon fibre man, makes it have more of a sport feel.
edit: also how often do you find yourself filling the tank?
Fill up a little more than once a week. No carbon for me on an already black interior haha
Do have your s4 grill? i have b8.5 Audi A4 Quattro, with a 6 speed manual. And I'm looking for a stock s4 grill. And I'm interested and buying it. Love the video
Greddy exhaust
Pleas do oil changes at 5000 mile intervals.
Do the ecodes/clear side markers on the headlights and make it into a tutorial/walkthrough. Its a great aesthetic mod.
I'd just buy the euro headlights haha I don't want to take the headlights apart
Where can you buy? I have b8.5 S4 too and i'm way too scared to take the headlights apart.
just search e-codes online...
Have blackstone analyze the oil!
Damn, and I thought I was bad with my cars mileage. I've had my B9 A4 for about 6 weeks and only put about 2,000 miles on it...
What happened to the black roof
it's still on the car haha. the thumbnail picture is older
Actually I wasn't wondering why you do so many miles
8k in 10 weeks? Damn....
Ur changing oil at 10k no wonder your getting limp mode your engine burns small amount of oil which is common you need to change your oil at least 4K
The DSG definelty suits this car, it's not some two seater sports car it's a big luxury cruiser with a powerful motor, hence why it's your daily.
Kiran Patel The S4 is relatively small and it is indeed a sports car
how often did you change oil in your GTI?
5k max
I bought a 07 GTI, already having issues with the fuelpump 🙄
Yeah a 10 year old GTI is bound to give you some problems.
Riverside Soccer Stores Ofc, I fixed it, wasn't that bad of a problem thank God...
What do you do for work?
Social media marketing!
shoutout to pittsburgh!!
Bags please
I change my oil every 5000 on my A6 and its black.
Noted!
I don't reckon it would make sense to keep a car like the S4 as a weekend car, it makes sense to keep it a daily, as you are!
Ur gonna hate the car when u run into dsg problems reason why i went 6mt
When is ECU tune coming?
Your issues are just beginning..
Cue brakes*
Cue and oooh uve owned audis for 5 years.. tht really ain't long bud. What audis do you own now?
Cue I love his s4. Just saying these cars have slot of known issues. So I'm sure with your whole 5 years of experience you probably already know that. Lol
Cue exactly move along
LOL Evan. This generation of S4 is known for it's reliability :) Keeping up with maintenance never hurts either. Have a nice day.
Sup!!!!
Get a flat bottom steering wheel
.......... that is standard equipment on a B8.5.....
Hate to break it to u.. my a4 1.8t b6 quattro ultrasport will shred your car off the line to whoop whoop..
race me
hate to break it to you but the v6 sounds amazing while the a4 sounds crappy
MR CT NGUYEN try racing an s4 with apr stage 2+ tune on it.
MR CT NGUYEN Are you sure about that
umpeeTV i know right stock vs tuned... tuned vs tuned...stage 2 ultrachaeger*... a4 ain't shit
You need a cheap daily for work
Ehhh
Devon Regan That's the stupidest thing he can do
Do Stage 2 for the next mod
