HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO OWN A B8 AUDI S5 || FULL MOD LIST

[@megatar3]

Just bought a 2012 with only 40k miles and im stoked!! Been driving it a few weeks and its a blast. Came from a 335i so I’m more pumped about reliability than anything 😅 Awesome video man!! May have to steal some of these mod ideas 🤔

[@tariqsamuels8578]

You got a gem! They are super fun, not as easy to make power as your 335i. But it’s a completely different experience. Feel free to mod away! I like to think I have great taste 🤣

[@DarleyMedia]

Fellow s5 owner here, great video! The 4.2 FSI is basically bulletproof compared to the older 4.2 40v in the s4. Really the only thing to look out for is the carbon buildup and routine maintenance and its a solid car. I've heard some people have issues with the HPFP's but I haven't had any issues yet. Oh almost forgot, the timing chains in the 4.2 fsi were "fixed" from the 40v, so no need to worry there! (Im sure they will still fail at some point near 140-150k miles but that's way better than the 60-90k that the 40v would fail at)

[@tariqsamuels8578]

Thanks man, yeah I agree they’re solid! Hopefully neither of us have to deal with HPFP or timing issues but I guess only time will tell 🤣 thanks for watching!!

[@Mrsilva94]

Question so is the 08 and 09 good to buy ? And I been researching them I only love to drive manuals lol they are just better to drive . But ummm I’m sure getting the timing chain done you could get it done without it being so badly expensive

[@4abeech]

I love my S5. Wish I had gone with manual trans but still happy 😊 u have a nice one! Like that interior. ♡

[@tariqsamuels8578]

They are great cars! I love the manual but I’m sure the auto is easier as a daily driver. The Tuscan brown interior was a MUST haha. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽

Super helpful video to find. I went and drove a 2010 S5 6 speed a couple hours ago and have been trying to find more info on cost to own and such. Audizine forums don't have a ton of info for the S5, it's mostly for the RS5 which is a bit different than the S5 with a lot of RS only parts. Definitely gonna be checking out more of your channel and high likelihood I'm gonna toss a sub over to you here in a few since you're putting out relevant content. But I dig the video. Very solid format and great pacing and tone in how you cover everything. Very easy to follow.

[@tariqsamuels8578]

That’s sick, the 6 speed is definitely the way to go! It is super hard to find documentation on the car and that’s what I’m trying to provide with my channel. I appreciate you checking out the channel, and I appreciate your feedback!! 🙏🏽 let me know if you have anymore questions

Nice video - love the tasteful mods! I'm looking at getting the same year/model w/ 4.2 manual (got a test drive this weekend). Did you have to get your fenders rolled when you lowered it?

[@tariqsamuels8578]

Thank you, thank you! I actually didn’t have to roll the fenders. I am on stock wheels with spacers though so if you have wider wheels you might have to roll them. Thanks for watching 🙏🏽

@@synaptik111 Congrats! You’ll have to let me know if you like it! I appreciate it, I’ve got some stuff up my sleeve when I finally get my car back.

$200 for a carbon clean is crazy. How many miles you got on yours now? Just joined the manual B8 gang this year. ‘08 S5

It wasn’t a full walnut blast so that’s why it’s not as expensive! I’m at 80k now. 🥲

Whats up man, would you mind disclosing how much you paid for it and how many miles it had? I’m looking for an Audi S5 with 130k miles on it. It looks like it is on perfect condition but I’m still indecisive about it. But I really want it!

[@tariqsamuels8578]

For sure! Mine was 17k with 55k miles on it. That was back in 2019 though so the market was way different, and the people I bought the car from were very well off… it’s a great car if you can get your hands on it. What color is it, and is it a manual or auto, and how much are they asking for it?

[@masturnater]

@@tariqsamuels8578 what was the process they did? In order to do an actual carbon clean they have to take the manifold off and everything to get the cylinders themselves which is like hours of labor. When I had mine done they did a walnut blast but they were already replacing all 8 injectors. Out the door for 8 injectors and a carbon clean was $3600

[@tariqsamuels8578]

@@masturnater so they did the hydrogen carbon clean on mine since I didn’t have that much build up. Basically they run I believe hydrogen through the intake manifold and they have this machine that revs the engine in certain intervals to burn excess carbon. The walnut blast was more pricey but even then they only charge like $450-$500 if I remember correctly.

@@tariqsamuels8578 ok makes a little more sense then I had mine walnut blasted but was still 400 even tho they already had the whole thing apart for injectors

[@_secretsquirrel_5310]

200 on the carbon? That had to be the chemical clean not the Walnut shell. I did the same got it for a bill out in the country in San Antonio but I'ma be honest there's a huge difference. And I feel you on the control arm bushings. That's an absolute must after like 60k atleast, replace the coolant resivour and lord almighty PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WHEN HANDLING ANY OF THE HOSES OR PLASTIC CONNECTORS ON THE COOLANT SYSTEM....handle with EXTREME CARE .it should be illegal how they designed it to literally fail on you . The connectors absolutely will crumble like petrified paper in your hand like it was the guy that drank from the wrong cup in Indiana Jones..if anyone or you have ever topped off with anything but the exact coolant that it came with factory your fucked it will destroy those parts. But I do suggest flushing that system like every 30k Miles..you will hate your life with cooling issues. I miss mine so much. I created a monster. Had an 11 and upgraded to the RS front end metal flake black with the silver mirror caps, silver 20s and rs trim up front. 🥵Wish I would have done my JHM lightweight crank pulley first thing but did it last and suggest it to anyone. It goes from having to spin like an 8.5 lb down to spinning a .5lb or 1.5 something that's basically 0 lbs compared to the factory. Man it's like being gifted a new motor. You pedal opens WIDE up. Suet up on KWHAS adjustable springs full carbon GruppeM ram air intake ($1400) and I paid 100 for it from some old lady had it in her garage still in the box🙏🏽. Apt stage 1 tuner, Clinched blended in super high kick spoiler, side skirts, carbon from lower lip fully functional bolted to the frame, the morimoto foglight upgraded is also a must..$120 and better than my headlights. It's a must and they look so dope. BMS pedal tuner every brace, mount, sway, man I literally did everything to that car but the supercharger. And I kept it immaculate. Always proactive and early on preventative maintenance , that was my gift from god..what kid.😏.and then came the 99,995 mile marker..that car never saw 100k. And I had just dropped close to 17k in upgrades over 1.5 years. I had to replace 2 alternators within 2 months, voltage regulator inside made the battery overcharge and it ended up frying other components and that car is damn near a Tesla with all the electronics. Never could sort it out. 2 new wheel speed sensor s,Replaced a water pump ,thermostat, coolant resivour, flushed the cooling, ac, and had to strip the car down past the radiator bare bones to do all this at once. Just to do the alternator because of it's location they quoted me $2k...and I replaced 2..needless to say I quickly became a mechanic and did it at home but it took 3 weeks cause if bad parts arriving and me winging it . What a mess. Replaced the belt tensioner and motor mounts. That's a must. The motor mounts check em I promise yours are already shot. The design is also designed to fail. Go for the 034 or blackforest solid not bagged one . I miss that deep V8 sound so bad..I just couldn't afford to be paying Ferrari prices in all these repairs and be driving an audi. literally it was every singke time I got in the car after 99995 something major broke engine or drive train wise. I thought someone was fuxn with me for a sec . Sorry for the rant but man its she was my greatest wing man and could account for atleast giving me 3 baaad bodies all on her own lol..dead ass tho.. She was a beast .. but motor mounts and for sure 034 shock mounts. They're $33 and they will be the biggest best thing you did comfort wise on the suspension. Never did it b4 till then and I kicked myself for not knowing this before. I promise it's a must as well like the bushings cause it's rubber and sits on rubber teeth and after 40k miles they look like meth teeth . $33 can't go wrong.
