I’m an avid anti German car guy but the Audi S series and RS series seem decent, few friends of mine have them and have them pretty well built and they handle the power great. Looking forward to this series!

Twmpted to buy a S4 B7 with 113k miles for 5000-6500 (timing chain serviced at 80k) bad idea or? I also work on cars, I have an A4 B7 but it recently got shot up. Ready to part ways
@@6ix582 Honestly depending on what type of S4 you get, the only real thing I have heard being an issue is the mechatronics system in the trans. I have 140k miles on my B8.5 2013 S4 and I onyl really do the annual maintenance and change oil every 5k miles or less and shes got no issue. I did have a rear wheel bearing go out but I am good enough with a wrench that I could do it myself.
You seem super knowledgeable. Could you help make a video on troubleshooting p10a4/10a6 bypass codes? I have changed the 3 bypass valves but no dice. Am familiar with a multimeter but don’t know what to look for. Thanks
Was about to buy one to used car lot was looking at it online said it had 141,000 miles on it so I said sure I’ll come look at it two days later they said it was still waiting to be inspected and serviced before it went on lotcome to find out that it actually has 419,000 miles on it😅 nooooope
Please talk to me if youre inclined to share knowledge about owning a high mileage. Ive just bought A 2014 b8.5 at 98k miles as a VERY young and scared guy (19) and I plan to keep it as it is until 200-250K miles: Great condition, with no Breaks of mechanical parts, transmission, pcv, water pump etc. so far I have kept up to all popular and Audi Official suggested servicing PERFECTLY, and just am struggling to find knowledge on 150k+mileage s4's from the 2012-2016 Generation. If you have any Obscure Useful info or tips on caring for a very high mileage S4 and would like to help me make my car last till 2028 ish, Please let me know. Thanks

Crazy expensive to maintain. You can save a bundle by doing the work yourself but it's not 'user freindly'
Thanks for sharing.
4500 control arms? 👀 upgraded control arms are $700 🌚
@@prolifik_hussle5972 They fleeced me on the control arms...mostly labor charges...I will know better next time lol

Once you get familiar with these engines, its so simple repair and maintain.
Awesome car it looks fantastic. Service history is extremely important it was well taken care of great video!
