Pretty sure that's the Nano Gray Metallic. Not as good as the Daytona Gray Pearl though.

Greetings user and welcome to /audi/ general. How's it going?
Jose James
It's going. The only experience I've had with Audi is sitting shotgun in a friend's Audi A3 wagon.
Jason Barnes
You know your cars are shitty when you can't make a general without resorting to attacking other cars in the OP. Same story with that stupid hot hatch one >m-muh fwd is just as good y-you're all busriding cucks stay mad
The benchracing in the OP is also hilarious given any year M3 will walk on the equivalent RS
Bentley Sanchez
This. Get a good car instead, stop justifying your shitty purchase.
I can live with that. I've already heard about shattering door panels and seat structures. The important part is reliability for daily driving, and finally getting that inline five fix in my life.

I'm not even saying Audi is bad, just that the OP is made by some delusional retard trying to instigate shit.

Because this is so much worse than a thousand benchracing threads a day. If you want to complain about useless generals go bitch about /osg/, /dat/ etc.
Jayden Cooper
Ayy finally a thread for me. Any B5 drivers here? Got this bullet train rolling strong after two crashes in it's history, bought it off a guy for cheap before he managed to break more of it. Great first car, had it for ruffly 1.5 years now.
Looking to replace a broken CV boot and a lower support next week, I must say that the trade-off between multi-link suspension and single-link like in newer cars is really a +-0, suspension job in a B7 Passat last week was a total shitshow because iddy biddy bolts and stupid design, but the better multi-link has maybe a bit too much that can wear out. Meh, at least you can't break the hugh mongus bolts and threads that these parts use.

Yeah? Couldn't find a bonnet with exact matching color so I figured it was time to go retarded with the car. Projector headlights from SKF were cheaper than OEM anyway, not to mention better looking, IMO ofcourse.
But feel free to criticize, it's always fun to hear what others think.
Jacob Thomas
I think it looks pretty gud user. Car honestly looks pretty sharp after two crashes.
Lucas Long
i think we need to mix this, /pog/ and the vw general into a VAG general because pog keeps fucking dieing.
im thinking of getting a B5 S4.
but i can only find tips, for drastically cheaper costs
how hard is it to manual swap them?
I used to own a B6 S4. It was pretty comfy but the timing chain guide meme was making me more and more nervous. plus the monthly 800 bucks to fix something miscellaneous that ate shit like the radiator, its expansion tank, oil filter housing seals and suspension parts.
I know B5's are just as unreliable but knowing the cars im pretty sure the B5 should be more fun to fuck around with. K04s, ecu tunes and other stage 3+ shenanigans. I don't mind expensive maintenance as long as the car makes me giggle. Something the B6 rarely did. it was too grown up for me
Cooper Long
I want to stuff the V8 from an A8 or A6 into a B5. No bullshit with timing chain guides and tensioners, and nobody expects a regular ol' B5 to blow them out of the water.
Aaron Garcia
its exactly the same engine afaik
the timing chain guides in the B6 were only a major hassle because the engine was turned around so the timing chain was in the back.
all the a8 and a6 v8s have the same timing chian issue, its just that you'll only be spending the 2k in parts instead of the extra 3k spent in taking the engine out to access them.
Parker Perry
No, I mean the earlier belt-driven V8. Still makes 300hp, still sounds awesome, just no worries of your engine randomly getting lunched as long as you change the belts in time.
Nathaniel Morgan
ah, cool'
also looking at allroads.
i'd like an allroad more than a b5 s4
bad idea?
Samuel Howard
Apparently the most unreliable car they've ever built.
Levi Myers
how so?
i picture the suspension being a bit of a nightmare but i'd be swapping it out anyway
Luke Morris
Don't know why exactly, but the Allroad seems to be universally accepted as the least reliable thing they've ever made.
You're probably right in your guess that it's the suspension (on top of all the usual B5 stuff).

That count as a repair? Because all those problems seemed to go away after that.
Brody Ramirez
Ty, these pics were pre-polish so bumper is a bit hazy. Yeah, back in '11 the previous owner was in a front end collision so new airbags, radiator, ac lines etc. From then on. Then I got in a low-speed collision in rain because older guy ran in front of me, broke headlight, bumper, fender, bumper supports, bonnet. Found bumper and fender in same color in good condition for under 200€, headlights were discounted at SKF for 130€ delivered to my door. Bonnet I got for free but plastidip was 11€ per can. Did the timing belt while I was in there. Also new bumper had places headlight washers so I added that to the car FOR FREEEEE!
I like the car, working on it has brought a lot of knowledge about B5 and B6 platforms to me, which is good, A4 and Passat in a single package + very much accessable info available. It's been the best first car I could imagine.
Jackson Morris
>oh, another thread for rebadged upmarketed VWs
This thread is a testament to how stupid some people can be.

The fact that they are made with everything that VW has laying around and throws at their rebranded cars to trick gullible idiots into buying them...

It would be funny to see your face when you realized your beloved glorified VW was built by turkroaches.

Sorry mate. Nah.
Engine over axle.

You don't have an idea what sport is.
Chase Roberts
You could have bought a Passat. It would have been cheaper. The same exact fucking parts would be cheaper if bought OEM and you wouldn't end up looking like a try hard faggot.
They are the fucking exact same cars underneath the different body panels. Heck even the panels are secured in the same fucking exact locations.
Get a grip.

I wanna buy a B3 Coupe and quietly play Retrowave while driving at night and listen in to the glorious Inline 5. Sadly ours was a 1.8S sedan and was capable of 160kmh vmax and did 0-60 in 14s but I enjoyed driving it anyways. I've driven my friend's B5 for a while and I test drove one before buying but decided not to. Uncomfortable as shit.
Nathan Allen
We got it from my parents' friends in 2011, appearently they have replaced the clock 2 or 3 times. Our clock stopped around 2012 with 275k km. When we got in touch with the previous owner some time in 2015, she said that it's at probably about 800k km and it was still alive and kicking. Well, still alive.
Parker Martinez
Yeah but I don't like how the B5 passat looks. And faggot, you're wrong. You don't know shit, you're in over your head.
As for used cars, there were people selling passats at a higher price than what I bought this for.
And if they use the same parts, why do you think the A4 would cost more? You really are a fucking retard.
1.8ADR, Y U mad tho? Stripes aren't permanent, headlights can be swapped out in 15 minutes, what's your real criticism?

Now google it, browse the catalogs and have some fun for yourself.
THE SAME FUCKING PARTS FOR THE SAME FUCKING CARS
Differences? Body panels.
Stupid inbred fuck.
They cost more because they're priced higher. Nothing more. Because VW has made a sweet deal with marketing altering the perception of retards like yourself to think they are buying into a different product with different R&D while they are fucking developing ONE car and selling it as a 4 different ones in the main portion of the group.
A1? Ibiza? Fabia? It's a fucking POLO.
A3, Leon,? It's a fucking GOLF
A4, Exeo, Octavia? It's a fucking Passat.
And repeat ad nauseum.
> 1.8ADR, Y U mad tho? Stripes aren't permanent, headlights can be swapped out in 15 minutes, what's your real criticism?
You're a ricer, ricing a shit car.
Liam Green
every single day you post in our threads.
Ryder Nguyen
You're fucking retarded, learn to read. I know what ETKA is, I have it. I also have bought parts for my car. I never claimed that they'd use different parts, they're fucking VAG, it would be retarded not to share parts. I did imply there's no difference in the price of parts, you know why? Because they're the same fucking parts. When I go and buy a MAF, it says A4/Passat, when I buy a suspension part, it says A4/Passat. There's no difference in the price if I choose "show parts for my car" and select A4 or Passat of that era.
Why do you think I pay more for "Audi" parts here? Fucking busriding butthurt Ameritard, go back to /OVG/.
And yeah, since when has anyone cared about some virgin cartoon enthusiast calling someone a ricer? IDGAF.
Yeah, I should stop, the fine line between a retard and a troll these days is nigh indistinguishable.
Jordan Thompson
Because we don't need more retards falling for the "Audi = premium" meme. If you absolutely MUST buy German, buy a Mercedes or BMW, not a VW with four rings on the front.
Matthew Cruz
Why does this make you so butthurt? Is it so hard for you to believe that there are people out there who want to buy an Audi or a Volkswagen?
I bet you're one of those people who cry about others using a PC or a Mac or an iPhone. Grow up you fucking faggot.
Seriously, get the fuck out, no one here cares about your autism.
Henry Ross
He's an autist but if you're buying a mac then you're beyond help. I remember we had an argument about this on here a while ago and the only argument the mac fags came up with was that it's harder to fuck up on one due to the lack of features
Xavier Martin
Then go buy the same part at a Seat dealership and at an Audi one. Then come back and post the pricetag.
You finnish untermensch are known the be on the stupid side, I always thought that was more than a joke than anything else, but damn, you really are slow.
Buying an audi is like glueing to your forehead "i'm stupid, i'm a badgewhore and i know nothing about cars", even though you keep claiming you bought a sportscar.
Aaron Sanders
Tell me more about the 90s A4s. The 1.8L Turbo, specifically Also the S4 twin turbo engine.
Are they nice? They're currently on my radar. They seem great.
Joshua Morris
You can just buy a Passat for less money, they're the same fucking car.
Brandon Lee
Slightly less room in the backseat than a B5 Passat because of shorter wheelbase. In North America a large amount came with Quattro. Factory sport suspension is lower than a Passat. Nicer interior, imo the facelifted B5 is one of Audi's best ever. 1.8t is good for 210hp/250ftlb with a tune and 300 with stock rods. Do the rods and they can make 500+hp with the right size turbo and injectors. Drivetrains are stout af and even the 5 speed in the A4 can handle 500ftlb with the right clutch, the 6 spd 01E in the S4 is one of the strongest manual transmissions ever made, has the biggest 1-2 gears VW or Porsche ever put in a manual in a car. Downsides: lots of features so little things always need to be fixed. CV joints take a beating because the front multilink has such a wide range of movement (don't drop your clutch at full lock). 4 ball joints and suspension bushings per corner up front gives minimal camber change through a turn (the main benefit of multilink) means that although they are front heavy (not biased, torque split is 50/50 and the Torsen centre diff can go as much as 66/33) they track like they are on rails. So much grip. You cant spin tires with a 1.8t quattro stock. My S4 cant even spin its tires unless its in the rain and it is full Stage 2. Driving a manual permanent 4wd car takes getting used to. Low gears and no slipping tires means that the clutch takes all the beating and will seem clunky at low speeds until you get used to it. Many vag motors bolt right up to a 01a or 01e. VR6, AAN 5 cyl, 07K 5 cyl, 1.9TDI, 4.2 Audi V8, and that is on top of the factory 1.8t/2.8NA/2.7tt motors in the A4/S4. Cheap parts for lots of stuff that crosses over with the B5 Passat because they made them in/for China, basically anything 1.8t or 2.8. Shanghai Volkswagen still makes legit parts for them and they get sold on Aliexpress every day.
Parker Anderson
Oh man, you are butthurt af
You don't understand shit about owning a car in Europe you fucking cuck, I don't need to go to a Seat or Audi dealership to buy parts, they don't even have different dealerships for those, we have one big dealership for VAGs but I don't even have to go there, because they sell parts at fucking supermarkets here. You really are fucking stupid. I can order those same parts for even a bit more off from ebay or almost anywhere online. You obviously don't even own a car.
>untermensch kek, did /pol/ teach you new words? Why am I even replying to you, busrider.
>you keep claiming you bought a sportscar. I never claimed I bought a sportscar, I bought a nice daily driver made in the 90's, you must be delusional to think anyone would ever claim anything else from an A4 1.8
This here takes the cake after that, you've played yourself. Congratulations.
Hunter Anderson
Oh my god this is exactly the kind of post I wanted. Is this all knowledge in your head? I'm impressed. I hope I can achieve car knowledge this in depth some day.
Thanks for all the info, I'll save it and reference it when I get closer to purchasing one. I'm not sure if I even have any questions, it looks like you've told me literally everything.

Carson Murphy
That's a very nice whip, remember to take care of that FSI engine, the older ones used to be prone to issues with the PCV-valve getting stuck and sometimes flooding the intake valves with oil, so you'd get carbon deposits. If you intend on doing anything to it, start with EGR-delete and an oil catch can.
tell me about the 1.6 A3 is it an understeering turd or can it handle decently? can it get tuned good?

I don't plan to do anything to it besides tint and preventive.
I bought new tires for it last week. Fuggin 1300 dollars.
Justin Ward
It means anything that applies to the Golf also applies to the A3
The 1.6 is SLOW though
Nolan Stewart
Handles decently, the ride feels solid but it's obviously an FF shitbox so it handles decently in its class. The 1.6 can't be tuned good. 1.8T or fuck off.
Brayden Smith

I feel sorry for you if you're even more ripped of by having all brands in one place. That's even worse jewing that anywhere else. Not to be surprised from a country in the backwoods.

that or a pes supercharger would be fantastic. i want to get Tarmac wheels, better tires, and get the b5 s4 bottom panels/side skirts. would def be the perfect daily, even more so than it is right now
Yeah, school hasn't reached here, but neither have the niggers. Enjoy Merkels Multi-Kulti World Theme-park, Hans.
Oh and ripped off by having all brands in one place eh? I just told you that I can go buy suspension from basically the supermarket, but yeah, I guess the dealership is the one and only place I can actually buy them. You snitchel chewing fuckbags sure are smart, I bet you know all about jewing! Or should I say تقتل نفسك so maybe you'd understand my message to you better.
I get it, you're butthurt, but hey, look on the positive side, at least the public transit in Germany is supposed to be wonderful and multicultural, just right for you, nigger!

Engine fucking rebuild. Short version is it went from a quart of oil every 3500 down to about 1500 over time, and then suddenly it was a quart every 300 miles. Compression test was 140/170/90/170 Number 3 cylinder wall was scored and the rings were messed up.
