In 2000 or '01 with +- 4500 miles the car was damaged in the rear and driver's side. It was sent to a body shop for estimate and the body shop totaled the car. The bod shop owner recognized it was all sheet metal damage and bought the salvage intending to repair it for himself. It sat in the back of his shop for a decade under a tarp. A couple years ago, the shop owner was preparing to retire and offered to repair the car for my cousin's husband (himself a mechanic). There was a list of finishing details left to do, but the car was on the road. My cousin drove it on occasion for a couple years, but usually opted for her SUV - she lives in the mountains and 20 miles of dirt and gravel roads daily would do the car no good. Now she's moving, and doesn't want to deal with the car ... so she sold it to me. I've been working on the car a bit at a time, but as the song goes, this car needs a younger man. I have yet to fix the L Ft headlamp (needs bulb & ballast (I have them), the horn (inop), the ck engine light (intake leaks), and the airbag light ( code says impact sensor open). That will get it through Md state inspection. That should confirm it's a drivable car. I also want to get an alignment print out. It tracks perfectly true, but the Driver's door doesn't shut right and the shop inspection noted that a used rear sub frame and R diff are fitted and the R sub frame bolts are tweaked. (should have been put on a frame machine?) I would like to confirm the alignment is in spec. Here's a walk around of the car in annoying detail : Ft bumper clear coat peeling @ top center No ft tag bracket installed (I have new bracket - no holes in ft fillet) No ft L fender liner installed Driver's door mis-aligned (closes and latches, no air or water leaks, paint flaked from distorted top hinge, uneven gap, un addresses crash damage) small crease/dent on driver's C pillar Spot of peeled clear coat on top of the trunk lid R sub frame & rear diff appear older than the rest of the car (r sub frame bolts mis aligned Bushing noise from rt ft AND THE INTERIOR: Info display in cluster faded Ck engine light on (diagnosed as intake leaks both banks) Air bag light on (diagnosed as open to 1 impact sensor) Steering wheel appears older than the car, great condition, slight ding on badge Ft seats appear older than the car, great condition, but appear to have been swapped, odd finish on pass seat bottom Driver's door inner latch has slack, sometimes doesn't release door latch Clear coat peeling on door guard molding Tie down eyes removed from trunk floor Little storage box missing from pass inner trunk wall Lock pump runs excessively long, rear doors do not lock/unlock with power locks Back edge of package shelf mis-aligned Rear window has annoying tint Pass rear shelf speaker fuzzy (I have a spare correct speaker) Pass rear door spkr grill broken, speaker fuzzy, ( I have a whole spare door panel w/bose spkr grill and also separately another correct speaker) Original stereo sounds fuzzy (even at very low volume, both radio and CD) only when it's damp/rainy ??? clears up when it's dry (cowl drains are clear, possible issue with amp??? you got me) Virtually no radio reception AM or FM (antenna booster?) UNDER THE HOOD: Cowl drain was clogged, flooded (I cleared it and treated the area with WD) Needs brake fluid flush & bleed Prob needs eng air & pollen fltrs PLUSSES: Runs perfectly, starts normally timing belt inspected and confirmed healthy Brand new Conti DWS 18" Tires 18" Audi accessory BBS's has not been performance chipped or abused - absolutely stock engine and, oh yeah, UNDER 7000 ORIGINAL MILES ! The car needs some TLC but looks good, runs perfectly, tracks straight, and for the right person has show car potential. At this moment it has 6200 - HUNDRED, not thousand - original miles. It must be the lowest mileage B5 S4 in the country if not anywhere. I'll soon post a load more photos and info. Anybody interested??? |

Audi TT Sportback Concept rounds out an icon
Thu, 02 Oct 2014That German automakers seem singularly fixated on filling any white space between their models isn't new - the last decade-plus has seen their showrooms overflowing with niche models, some of which seemingly occupy sub-genres of sub-genres. To our eyes, there's often diminishing aesthetic and utilitarian returns to go along with the heightened price tags that accompany these models, but we're beginning to think Audi is tackling its personal diversity initiative best. Unlike the often heavy-handed designs from rivals (we're looking at you, BMW), Ingolstadt seems to be doing doing a more graceful job of carving out models between models. The latest proof of this is the TT Sportback Concept, just unveiled here at the Paris Motor Show.
After showing off its Allroad Shooting Brake Concept in Detroit and, more recently, in the Offroad Concept in Beijing amidst rumors of the TT sports car platform expanding into an entire family, we're not surprised to see this more utilitarian five-door hatchback showcar here in France. This, despite the fact that Audi already counts similarly proportioned A5 Sportback and A7 Sportback models in its lineup.
Of the TT line extension concepts, this Sportback certainly looks the most production ready, with a bare minimum of showcar tinsel masking realistic proportions and detailing. We think it's quite handsome from stem to stern, even if it's a bit familiar looking. The design incorporates Audi's trademark big-grille look with the TT's prominent arched roofline and heavily radiused fenders, along with a rear lighting graphic that subtly echoes the A3. Despite its leggy looks, the TT Sportback Concept is surprisingly compact, spanning less than a foot longer overall than the production 2016 TT despite its 4.7-inch longer wheelbase and extra set of doors. Those sleek looks come at least partially as the result of an overall height that sits 1.2 inches lower than the TT coupe.
Audi Sport sets up new shop in Neuburg
Thu, 04 Sep 2014Racing fans may know Audi best for its Le Mans team that's positively dominated the endurance racing scene. But as formidable as its Le Mans program is, that's only one of the racing disciplines in which Audi competes. It also competes in the full FIA World Endurance Championship, as well as Germany's popular DTM touring car series and supports customer teams in GT racing series around the world. And now the competition division is getting a new headquarters.
Audi Sport has until now been based in an old supermarket near to the company's head offices in Ingolstadt, but is now moving into a brand new, state-of-the-art facility 12 miles to the west in nearby Neuburg. The result of some 20 years of planning and two years of construction, the complex covers 116 acres of land in Neuburg-Heinrichsheim and will house engineers, technicians and other staff who deal with the R18 E-Tron Quattro, the RS5 DTM and R8 LMS Ultra that compete the world over.
The facility was officially opened this past Saturday with participation from top Audi brass and local government officials and included demonstrations from all three of those racecars around the on-site test track. The works team has begun moving in and the customer racing department will move into its new Motorsport Competence Center in the first half of 2015.
Audi reveals new A3 Cabriolet with Quattro, S3 versions to follow
Sun, 08 Sep 2013With the Frankfurt International Auto Show coming home to roost this week, German automakers aren't about to miss out on the opportunity to roll out their latest. Audi may be making the biggest splash with the new Sport Quattro concept, but will also use the occasion to introduce its latest compact convertible.
We just brought you the first leaked images of the new Audi A3 Cabriolet the other day, but now Ingolstadt has revealed the full thing. Slotting in below the A5 Cabriolet and replacing the previous A3 Cabriolet as the entry-level convertible in the Audi lineup, the new cabrio joins the A3 family as the fourth bodystyle in the range.
Based more closely on the sedan than the hatchback, the new A3 Cabriolet is a bit bigger than its predecessor in every dimension but height. Rather than go the folding hardtop route, Audi has stuck with its tried-and-tested hydraulic fabric roof mechanism that can open or close in just 18 seconds. But for the first time, Audi is offering the A3 Cabriolet with Quattro all-wheel drive, and - get this - will offer an S3 convertible version as well, complete with 300 horsepower and a 5.4-second 0-62 time.
