2000 Audi A4 Quattro Avant Wagon 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars

Year:2000 Mileage:120052

Fairfax, California, United States

This is a tuner car that I have been having fun with since about 2005.   Over the years I consistently searched out and purchased quality parts and components and had most of them professionally installed by 034 Motorsports, or Kovacs Motors (San Rafael, CA).   Used as a back up commuter car for most of its life.  Never tracked unfortunately, but pretty much ready for some 1/4 mile blasts or a nice day any any good road course.   It has a significant amount of tasteful modifications and might just be what you are looking for.  Wife says I have to sell this and one of my bikes, see my other auctions if you like turbo motorcycles.

This vehicle is a "big turbo car".  If you have never driven a "big turbo car" it is good to know that they ultimately sacrifice low end torque for top end horsepower.   This car is no exception.   It does have to spool the turbo, but at 22PSI on California 91 Octane pump gas, everything over 4500 RPM is exciting.  Freeway onramps are very fun...


Performance Enhancements:

ENGINE:

  • Milltek exhaust
  • ATP GTRS turbo Upgrade (350HP capable turbo)
  • 034 Motorsport Big Intake pipe
  • EVO MS FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler)
  • Audi 2.7T Throttle Body Upgrade
  • Dual Cone spray 550CC fuel injectors
  • 034 MS custom tune 91 Octane (Tuned on 4 wheel drive Dyno)
  • 034 MS custom tune 100 Octane  (Tuned on 4 wheel drive Dyno)
  • HKS EVC IV Digital Boost Controller
  • Fresh Ingition Coils
  • "Green" brand Cotton Air Filter (IMHO, better than K&N)
  • ECS Underdrive Pulleys
  • 034 MS high flow  cat
  • Forge Diverter Valve
  • New South Performance Phenolic Intake Gasket (Intake Heat Reducer)


DRIVETRAIN:

  • Sachs Stage 3 clutch and lightened flywheel
  • Synthetic fluids in drivetrain
  • Urethane Snub Mount


SUSPENSION:

  • Eibach sports springs
  • Eibach Sway bars front and back


INSTRUMENTATION:
  • APR Air vent boost gauge
  • Wideband 02 sensor Installed
  • EGT sensor installed


Updated parts:

  • Alternator relatively fresh
  • Rear view  Mirror is new - non auto dimming
  • Sunroof Switch
  • Front Door Speakers 
  • Brakes Master Cylinder
  • Stereo Head Unit (OEM) 
  • Fresh Interstate Battery 
  • Fresh Oil and filter


Other Upgrades:

  • Tinted Windows - $250
  • 17" Audi Factory Rims w/ Continental DW Summer Tires - installed on vehicle now
  • 15" Audi Factory Rims w/ Toyo M&S tires (will be in rear of car)


Service:

  • 95K Timing belt change
  • Always synthetic oil.  Mostly Royal Purple, but some Mobile 1 and others.
  • Always oversized Oil Filter
  • Brake Fluid Swapped 20K ago


The Good:

This car is very clean with lots of professionally installed upgrades.   Given that it is running a remapped Stock ECU, any problem that might occur would  easily diagnosed as if the vehicle was stock.    It is very clean cosmetically and only has some small areas where wear and tear were inevitable.    The car dynoed on California pump gas at 265 AWDHP which is well over 300HP at the crank.     There are Wideband 02 and EGT sensors installed.   Adjustable digital boost controller in glovebox.  Tinted windows.   Full on sleeper.   


The Not So Good:

  • Some small (filled) chips on the front of the hood.
  • One small depression over the rear driver side door (See Pics)
  • Drivers seat has tear in seam of seat cover.  
  • Shift knob is only about half covered with leather. 
  • 1 17" rim has some minor curb rash (see pics)
  • Dash LED readout mostly failed
  • AC condenser had pinhole hole patched.   Repair done 3+ years ago and stable. 


The Bad:  (NOTE: CALIFORNIA BUYERS PAY ATTENTION)

In April of 2013 I took the car to get smogged in my home region of Northern California.    Given the extensive mods the car was flagged as a "gross polluter" given that it did not have the "secondary air pump" installed.   This is true.   Smog laws and testing are getting more strict in CA and they finally caught up with this vehicle.   I have all the required parts and can ship with the car.   I can not guarantee that this  car can be easily somgged in CA given that it officially failed a visual smog inspection.   It never had problems passing any of the sniff tests,  but with missing parts, it did not pass the visual inspection.


Extra Parts:

  • The sale comes with and EXTRA SET of factory rims and Mud and Snow tires for heading to the mountains.   
  • Brand new REAR brake pads and rotors (Blauparts A4 "U Slotted" kit - (Blauparts product id =D2B1520-01-A) - These should be installed in the next 5-10K miles. - $140
  • Additional unused refurbished OEM CD player head unit.

Audi prices 2014 A8L TDI from $82,500*

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

During the Los Angeles Auto Show last November, Audi told us that it would be bringing four new diesel-powered models to the United States this year. The first to arrive is the 2014 A8L TDI you see here, and we've now learned that the big oil-sipper will be priced from $82,500, (*excluding $895 for destination).
The whole new range of diesel models will be powered by Audi's 3.0-liter TDI V6, good for 240 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque in this application. Of course, Quattro all-wheel drive is standard, and even in the big A8, the diesel grunt will be enough to propel the long-wheelbase flagship to 60 miles per hour in 6.4 seconds (almost a full second slower than the A8 3.0T we reviewed last fall). That said, the A8 TDI should still be a pretty engaging steer, and considering the fact that this thing will reportedly return fuel economy figures of up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway (24 in the city), a slightly slower launch time is well worth it. (The A8 3.0T tops out at 28 mpg highway.)
Elsewhere in the segment, Mercedes-Benz offers a diesel version of its S-Class flagship, retailing for $93,000 and good for fuel economy figures of 21/31 mpg city/highway. By comparison, the A8 TDI seems like a steal, and we'll be interested to see where the forthcoming BMW 7 Series diesel falls into the class of huge oil-burning barges.

Audi A3-based people mover in the works

Sat, 01 Jun 2013

We have yet another announcement of yet another new Audi, including yet another obligatory quote from Audi research and development chief Wolfgang Dürheimer that there's room for it in the Audi range. On the sidelines of reports about the diesel-hybrid sports car, derived from the R18 endurance racer, there have been remarks about a possible MPV. Now Auto Express reports that said MPV "is on the way" and will be based on the A3 Sportback.
Previous speculation has posited either a six- or seven-seat people carrier; if the AE report is to be believed then five seats is the number that's been settled on. Planned to rest on a stretched version of the A3 platform, its wheelbase would be nearly eight inches longer than that of the A3 Sportback and it would compete against the Mercedes-Benz B-Class and the production version of the BMW Concept Active Tourer.
Audi is not going to dally about it, either, with a concept said to be ready for debut next year. Should it come, it would mean the A3 range comes pretty close to hitting for the cycle.

Audi, Google readying infotainment partnership announcement for CES?

Tue, 31 Dec 2013

The merging of our smart phones and automotive infotainment systems may be about to get an even bigger boost, if a report from Forbes is to be believed. The business publication is reporting that Google and Audi may announce a partnership at next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that would see Google's Android OS taking control of Audi's MMI infotainment system.
The move by Google would be a direct counter to Apple's iOS in the Car initiative, the marquee feature of which allows drivers to access the company's Siri digital assistant via a car's voice controls. According to Forbes, other iOS features that have found their way into cars include functions for iMessage, as well as audio and satellite navigation systems.
Audi and Google already enjoy a working relationship, with the tech company providing data services on many of the automaker's cars, as well as lending Google Maps to the MMI system. If this report turns out to be true, fans of Android could find Audis looking a lot more appealing.
