EVERYTHING WRONG with my 10 sec AUDI S4 b8.5!

#Audi #S4 #Project
Last video i revealed the insane deal I got by picking up this 2013 Audi S4. Of course, there’s nothing more expensive than a cheap German sports car, but I had to. Since then, I have found some more issues and will be fixing them all on here, so we can see the true performance of this beautiful car! This car is highly modified with 90k miles on it, so stick around and enjoy the show 😁

[@BrockettRocket01]

Whoever says buying a B8.5 above 70k miles is an idiot... I have one that I got at 84k and I am now at 94k. Yes I had to replace a few things in my engine bay which were like alternator, crank pulley, belts. Those are problems you can have on any cars...... I was stage 1 at like 87k miles. I am now at 94k and dual pulley running flawlessly.

[@swift__]

If the car has paddles, use them ✅ ( that’s what I do anyway ) if you can only get 92 but are tuned for 93 you have to add octane booster or safer option switch to 91 tune, unfortunately…i know you have the windshield that’s janky but also passenger side footwell there a drain for the “water “ from the a/c. Sometimes that drain gets clogged and as you go around turns it’ll spill out onto the floor, soaking the carpet/mats. Just something to check, had to clear mine out a couple months ago. The s4 is sickkk🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@fishman8321]

I’ve had 2 B8 S4’s that initial rattle on start up is mostly normal for these cars. Audi even says so, it’s in the second scenario that you showed where you should be worried. As is right now, I would just keep an eye on it and not worry too much. If it develops a longer rattle, then start to question whether you should take action or not. Just my opinion, coming from someone who has one currently with 212k miles. 6spd. Stage 2. and still on original chains. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@twn2rbo]

Yes I agree! I did a lot of research on Audi engines prior to this one, and hands down the 3.0t supercharged engine is the most reliable S line engine to date. Love it

[@andrew_ade]

Sick intro!

[@Sesameseedbandit]

That intro is nutty

[@the.wanginator]

Yeah, that rattle sounds all too familiar. Mine actually developed chain stretch. One of the tensioners got stuck open. Was till within the timing window, so thankfully nothing was damaged. Also, make sure you flush the DSG fluid if you haven't already.

[@twn2rbo]

Definitely going to keep an eye on it. I mentioned in the last vid I want to do the DSG service before I launch it esp, I would really like to do it myself. I’m glad I have the 2nd gen at least!

[@ryankuntz5799]

I'm getting a 5-7k service done soon here, most likely October. I'll keep you guys posted.

[@jaspermotorsport]

Come down to Jasper Indiana sometime

[@avery5951]

Im so exited, Im looking at a 2014 MT s4 and its going to be my first manual car. Hopefully all goes well.

[@twn2rbo]

Man, that’s the best feeling, getting a new car and watching all the KZbin vids on it. I am working with 034 and tuning my friends RS5 in a couple of week :) Audi is awesome. The B8.5 3.0t is the best engine Audi has ever made to this day. Hands down. Very solid engine can make some big power. The video I have coming out this Friday is the fastest Kia Stinger that’s ever been on my channel, and the Jackal tuned S4 b8.5 beat him!

[@AnthonyHernandez-yx4nk]

Did you have any dsg issues like the car pushing forward when you stop I was gonna buy one I heard it’s an issue when they have high miles

[@marcozacarias1675]

LOVE the new animated TWN 2RBO logo at the beginning of the video! I'm no video editor but would love to have something done. Maybe we can chat offline?

[@zeemanjr]

You can go into the mmi and change units of measurement e.g from kmh to mh

[@masshole2907]

Excuse me my good sir but did you get rid of the stinger?

[@deadpool1092]

It's funny how I just had work done on my 01 accord replacing coils 1/4 and the plugs, then come here and see a similar situation. The ride never ends with older cars lol. I'd maybe go with a partial wrap if a full is too expensive. A place by me wanted 500$ to just wrap the grills on my stinger and I though that was a bit much. Maybe plasti dip and wrap the roof black.

[@twn2rbo]

You’re not kidding, I was quoted $500 just for the chrome trim around the windows and another $400 for the roof to be done in carbon, I can buy a whole roll of wrap for $400, I’m tempted to try it myself, since it’s not a daily. I ordered the gloss carbon by TinyBot for the roof, going to attempt that one first! Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@deadpool1092]

@TWN 2RBO I actually did the chrome trim around the windows on my stinger. They sell pre cut for those for around 25$. That was actually not too bad just patience and a squeege to smooth it out. I tried wrapping the mirror covers and it was a disaster. I got them mint then the next day it was cold and they shrunk and peeled off. Ended up dropping the 200 on the carbon fiber covers. Still have that issue with the jb4 throwing engine codes lol. Think I gotta set it back to factory settings and see what happens.

[@deadpool1092]

@TWN 2RBO doing the roof shouldn't be too bad since it's a flat surface. The only thing that could be annoying is getting around or wrapping the fin if it has one. I want to do my roof, but the videos showing how to get the fin off seems like it's a pain in the ass

[@fishbone470]

The Molly oil you got looks like the UV brand.. super handy as you can see small leaks with a UV light.. saved me from some big repairs.. Also. with your fan issue.. my 034 flash is setup so the cruise control, if pulled towards you turns the fan on and leaves it on.. push it forward and goes on and off like stock.. also.. pulling back on CC arm will tell you what your launch control RPM is set to.. just thought I would share.. Cheers

[@twn2rbo]

Thanks! I am actually switching all tunes from IE to 034 this week. They agreed to work with me and I’m so excited for that, I’ve heard nothing but great things about them. Fan, turns out it was the auxiliary coolant pump for the supercharger wasn’t working, PWM wire was messed up too. But got it replaced and it went away, I did discover the CC stock out though, one day my fan came back on full blast during driving and I was upset, but I hit it forward when stitching up the new alcantara cover and carbon paddle shifters on. Someone said to check it, sure enough when I pulled it back it turned off. Such an awesome feature!

[@fishbone470]

@@twn2rbo Awesome.. 034 stuff is so good.. My car is full of their stuff and the company is great.. they have a live weekly channel to answer questions and are always doing tune updates etc.. so glad to hear your going that route.. for the fans. I kept knocking the CC with my knee getting in the car.. couldn't figure out why the fan was always on.. then I googled it.. LOL.. problem solved... You will love the 034 gear.. bought a ton of it.. and my car is rock solid.. just trying to get a few Rasp Gremins out of the exhaust but pretty much done!

[@twn2rbo]

@@fishbone470 I hear you on the rasp! My car sounds so awesome on camera, but as you know, it’s loud af in real life, my friend has a 2020 b9 RS5 and we are going to fully tune his as well and collab on here. Only 034 part I have is hpfp piston mod I think, I want to get their driveshaft mount, mine hopped on a launch and now my tank is full of e40, I bet it really will. Feels awful lol. Also are you ported / tb ?

[@swift__]

Are the blower bricks take offs Or new ?

[@justinsoutherland812]

S4 owner here and coils and spark plugs on these models have to be changed about every 90 to 100,000 miles.

[@Vteccer666]

should be 50k

[@negativenarwhals]

Hey, thinking about getting one of these. Did you get it on offerup or marketplace or something? And how did you get the price down so low? you must be a master negotiator, any tips? Right now I Have a mazda 6 i can get 12-16k for and i was really thinking about upgrading to one of these, but I'm afraid of the possible expensive maintenance costs.

[@twn2rbo]

It was on Marketplace $18.5, but it was sitting for awhile because it would take a very special person to but a 90k S4 that’s 10 years old with all of these mods so I got him down to $15k. Then the AC went out the day we met up at bank, so I got him down some more to $12.7. She runs strong and doesn’t leak anything and he did a bunch of maintenance to it 10k miles ago so I had to swoop it up. But as far as comparing it to a Mazda, it will def cost you a lot more to maintain it. If you don’t work on your own cars when little stuff needs to be done , I wouldn’t do it.

[@negativenarwhals]

@@twn2rbo Ah i gotcha. I do a lot of my own maintenance at home, but I also hear german cars are very hard to work on. The whole reason I looked at this car is because it has AWD and I might be moving to college somewhere that snows during the winter. But if I move, then I don't have all of my tools.. and idk if that's a good idea lol

[@twn2rbo]

@@negativenarwhals this one isn’t that bad to work on, looks like you can get the supercharger off in 30 mins and get to the PCV valve , thermostat, injectors etc. plugs and stuff is really easy. Quattro is a phenomenal AWD system for sure.

[@monyeatate9766]

I work for safelite in the g70 guy and I live in Indy let me know if u need help with glass

[@twn2rbo]

Thanks! Let me see what happens this Tuesday, hmu on IG. Thanks

[@endcno8563]

I got a 2012 6 speek just hit 90k, only issue i have had were thermostat and wheel bearings

[@twn2rbo]

Nice find! MT is awesome and you won’t have to worry about the DSG issues , I’m glad I at least have the second gen, but it’s still a $5k repair on my mind lol. Thermos/ WP and PCV are notorious on these but the job isn’t too bad

[@hasanfadhil6404]

I wish the spark plugs on the 3.3tt were as easy as on this Audi 😢

[@twn2rbo]

It’s actually deceiving, I have to remove the air intake system and the coolant overflow resivour! But not to bad!

[@hasanfadhil6404]

@@twn2rbo yeah I saw that, but the 3.3 I either have to remove the intake manifold or use swivels and take my time which could be 2 hours.

[@twn2rbo]

@@hasanfadhil6404 oh yes, I always did the swivels. The second time around went a lot faster, but cyl 2 on passenger side is a pain!

[@ricolam4916]

Might as well do the vcg since you are at it

[@johnmorris6542]

You need to blow out your Sun roof drain hoses... i bet they are clogged and leaking into the car. you also may want to pull the a-pillars and just make sure the drain hoses didn't come off if you can see them.

[@twn2rbo]

This is very interesting! I’m going to research what you are speaking about, dude thanks so much 💯 👊👊

[@johnmorris6542]

Not a problem. It's honestly way more common to have a clogged drain in the sun roof then the windshield leaking.

[@twn2rbo]

@@johnmorris6542 I will update you in an upcoming vid, prob the second to next. I got everything fixed and this thing screams at 7300 rpm! Love it

Whats the b8.5 displacement motor wise? I wanna do a swap

[@twn2rbo]

3 liter! They will take some power!

I think i just bought the cheapest b8 5 s5.... and it was one owner 105k at vw dealership ... but completely stock lol 10k + fees .11200 otd 😊

[@FaithinThoth]

Dude I paid 20 k for my 2010 S4 2 years ago. Why . Because it's a 6spd Sport dif with 68k miles. Sense then I've racked up . Need to add some stuff up. Clutch 4500, motor mounts 1500, water pump crank pully and crossover Head pipe thing new belt wait ! 3500, need more . Springs 1500 wheels 1400 carbon fiber add on 1300 , Piggyback tune 500, mod exhaust 600. Shit. 😢😂❤ But I love it like a step child. 0ver 15k in repairs and less of the upgrades. Either you love or cant afford it . That will be the factor.

[@joshkobylnik8400]

Hey man can I get a recommendation. I found one for sale and I talked the guy down to 11k but it has a slight chain rattle on cold start and only for a few seconds which I was told is fine. Would you recommend this buy. It’s got 100k miles

[@twn2rbo]

It sounds like he lowered the price to compensate for the timing chain tensioner job, which is probably around $3,500. That noise is going to get worse and the job will need to get done. As long as you are ok with that expense, the initial price is fair. Clean title? What year? Manual auto?

[@joshkobylnik8400]

@@twn2rbo it’s a rebuilt with 100k. The damage was literally just bumper and hood which he replaced. An automatic. 2013 so the b8.5. I’m getting so many mixed reviews. People are saying you should be fine as long as it doesn’t get worse which most of the time it doesn’t is what they say. Then I get people saying you will need to fix it. Which I would rather not have to deal with that and put 3.5k into it to fix it.

[@twn2rbo]

@@joshkobylnik8400 the tensioners wear out, the more they wear the looser that chain gets you’re in for trouble eventually. Audi allows like a 1 second threshold for it, but in this video I posted you heard that one guys.. eventually that’s what would happen. I get that’s a tempting deal and a great year, 2nd gen DSG, but also rebuilt title I would stay away from unless this is just a play toy. I def would not get it to daily in that condition though, just my opinion. I kind of look at worst case scenarios when making a decision like that. Have you seen the car yet? Ask for a cold start with the hood open, not when he’s sitting in the car with it down. It could be very slight like mine

Yep! 3.0 supercharged V6. Very good engine that can make some serious power with just a pulley and tune.

[@jenna1656]

Hey nick!!! :) Question for everyone. CPI Kit or WMI? What's safer and more performance. Not sexual performance but car performance??

[@twn2rbo]

Hey Jenna! There’s pros and cons to each, if you have an e85 near you that may be more convenient, not sure what part of the country you live in, but e85 doesn’t do the best in freezing cold temps, nor does it like to sit for long periods of time, it can start gunking things up. I like WMI for turbos especially, but you just need to make sure it’s installed and tuned properly or you can blow it up. If using the JB4 you can select when you want to have the extra power with WMI. CPI is something your always need to be in the supporting map with as long as that fuel ratio is in your gas tank. Significant performance upgrade you’ll feel it in the seat on both 😉

[@jenna1656]

Thanks you Nick. Hey what color wrap are you gonna get for the Audi? I seen a candy apple red yesterday and fell in love. Also with it being summer, my engine runs to hot. Anything I can buy to really cool it down? I try not to run the AC bc I swear it takes away power from the car n gas. So I drive with the car hot. And wearing a bra sucks and boob sweat is real haha

[@twn2rbo]

@@jenna1656 like a matte olive green with gloss black accents. AC shouldn’t affect it that much, Hmmm I wonder if it’s not the car.. 🤔 😉 externally, nothing you can really do when it’s hot out, but you could go WMI to lower the intake temps significantly!

[@jenna1656]

Heyyyy u flirting?? Haha its embarrassing stripping off my cloths into a sports bra and underwear shorts after the gym. Got alot of creeps around. Something is really wrong with the car. Lol I like summer bc the beach and getting tan but I'm definitely a fall season type.

@@jenna1656 of course! Lol . That’s the best time of year agree, Halloween, hoodies and hat rides 🙌 oh and turbo weather!

[@MrUnknownian]

I enjoy this video but every 6 months oil change? Lol that's a little excessive it all depends on your miles driven if u ask me I know people usually say "I'd rather not take a chance" but I've not had issues I run a decent interval like 10k miles

[@twn2rbo]

Appreciate it. You will hear manufacturers or dealerships say 5k miles or every 6 months because when fuel gets into oil, it breaks the oil down. 6 months of fuel getting into oil is not good when highly modified. If it was a Accord or Camry, I would side with you. But then you have to look at the 10k mile oil change intervals and all the destroyed piston rings on the Camry’s at higher miles due to 10k mi oil changes. Now they burn a qt of oil every 1,000 miles. I’m sticking with that on this car mainly bc it’s direct injected and a lot more fuel will get into the oil compared to most cars.
