My 2001 Audi S4 needs a $2000 repair.....

[@andylane2573]

Nice to see a bi turbo being looked after properly. I've got mine in bits to do the metal water pipe going through the valley. Deep pockets much needed but so worth it :-)

[@Revmatchmedia]

We didn't have any service history on our black B5, so we addressed the timing belt as soon as we got it. The silver B5 we just picked up also luckily just had the service done. We also just picked up a W202 C43, and got slapped with a massive repair bill. After crying, we now know where to throw money. It's my silver lining lol.

[@tman4life01]

“After crying” lmao😂

[@TechSkater777]

You came up in my recommendations and I even know about your channel but watching your content i would say it's pretty good straight forward no click bait and over all good quality and audio one video made me subscribe and now I'm just checking out the rest of your channel

[@boostbook3747]

Oscar Salazar thanks so much for the feedback man. Much more to come and thanks for the sub!

[@jarredl990]

Found you in a comment on parkers channel and I have to say ill be sticking around because you make quality videos from what I see and Id love to see your channel take off!

[@boostbook3747]

Jarred L can't thank you enough man, many great videos coming your way

[@uzbslam]

I was looking to buy a new B5 S4 and your videos helped me buy my first car. Thank you

[@sandorclegane9734]

Uzbslam what did you buy?

[@OldManShoutsAtClouds]

Lmfao you're the exact problem he's taking about 😂🤣😂

[@hystericfox]

Just make sure he doesn't put you in the "service position".

[@jesusjessereyes6633]

That shop did! That's alot

[@black2dos2]

Why not just do the Tbelt and pump yourself for under $300 bucks. You can get a kit from ECS and rent tools from Autozone if needed. You have a B5 better get to know your car.

[@boostbook3747]

RL H I definetly agree man. I do just about everything myself on this car. But at the time that the car needed this repair, I was in the middle of my college semester.. and being a Mechanical Engineering student.. I didn't have any time to do the job..

[@jesusjessereyes6633]

Definitely does take time!

[@dcxSpartan117]

It doesn't take that long either, you can have the front clip off the car in under an hour if you know what your doing

[@nissanguy02]

RL H facts

[@keepthinking2666]

we i have done my timing belt many many times, its easy to do, if you know what your doing. i did my timeing belt and water pump and a few other things in 5 hours and thats without a lift me on the ground

[@ladscr28]

Am not a mechanic I do body work but I watched a video from ratchets and wrenches I followed step by step and I did it my self wasn't a s4 it's a 2.8 30v but it's basically the same had to buy some tools but it worked 🙏🏽

[@boostbook3747]

If I wasn't in college I would have definitely done it myself and saved the money.... but time is so scarce especially being an engineering major... Thanks for watching man and good job on doing your 2.8!

[@ladscr28]

Boost Book yeah man I hear you sorry forgot to say that I was told the same that timing and water were already done and they weren't god bless you good luck with college

[@shawnbonham623]

Maybe he meant the TB and WP were "done", like on the it's out :D \

[@joel.3112]

Shawn Bonham lol

[@romariosmith422]

Shawn Bonham lmbo

[@maxoboler5275]

Similar thing happened to me. Thermostat froze shut after not driving the car for a while, and it blew out the coolant system.

[@losteden]

good car but engine is crazy expensive to minor repairs,,, and for diy forget it. better get the old single turbo 2.2 5 cilinder

[@PorscheIgnited]

good job on the videos buddy. keep it up!

[@boostbook3747]

Porsche Ignited appreciate the support man!

[@buddyanddaisy123]

What is that entry audio clip? I like it.

[@whatsup8464]

Most of that money is labour!

[@1995RangeRover]

College student driving an Audi S4...must be nice.

[@jeremywhittler8591]

What about a 12v VR swap? Maybe you could grab a whole set up out the forums.

[@boostbook3747]

Thanks for the info! This video was quite a while ago! The build for this car has already started. Feel free to check out the rest of my channel. Thanks for watching!

[@beardedninja8717]

Shit man glad I did all the jobs you talked about myself. Granted there's never room to work but saved me a lot of money. Timing belt was a process but honestly wasn't bad did it with a couple friends one weekend.

[@boostbook3747]

That's awesome man! It always feels good to do something on your own. If my engineering major wasn't taking all my time I would have done it myself for sure! Can't beat DIY satisfaction.

[@joes.7536]

Bro I wanted a 2.7tt b5 S4 so bad this spring. I had 6 grand burning in my pocket. I just do my own wrenching and I heard about nightmares stories about that motor. I ended up buying a b5 passat 5 speed 1.8t, and put the extra cash in coil overs, k04 turbo upgrade, stage 3 tuning, s4 wheels/tires. I like the car, although now I am heavily interested in a n54 335i. We will see. Good luck with your Audi. All b5s are great. I’ll say a prayer for your 2.7, motor has to come out for turbos or manifolds.

[@boostbook3747]

MI Smith & Wesson thanks brother! That's a great car as well. Been driving my car since the repair and it's been a dream (7k miles later). Luckily it was a 1 owner adult owned S4 with all maintenance records! Thanks for watching and good luck your new vehicle!

[@tman4life01]

Joe S. why not an a4 so you get the quattro?

[@Derkaderkavlad]

that service position must of cost a bomb

[@sykeasi9346]

good vids bro im getting a b5 s4 soon as well wouldve had now but you know life happens aha keep up the good work

[@boostbook3747]

sykeasi 93 appreciate it man! Tons of S4 videos coming soon. Should have the car back this week. Thanks again for the support!

[@justincredible5414]

...cause every teenager has a s4...

[@devon5078]

Justin Credible they arent that expensive but what is is the repairs

[@Tocky0049]

This whole " adult owned " thing is a bad thing to go buy when buyer cars The condition of each car is just on a case by case basis.

[@mikemarler8224]

Timing belts generally don't snap. A typical problem starts with the water pump. If it seizes, even momentarily, and the timing belt and or tensioner is old, the timing belt can jump a few teeth, throwing the camshaft out of time. Then your pistols contact the valves, the heads are chewed up, cylinder walls are scored, bits of metal are sucked into the turbo, and the motor needs a complete rebuild. I love Audis. Just bought a B7 A4 for my oldest son. Maintenance records were spotty, so before I even let him drive it, I changed the timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt, and hpfp cam follower, total cost was under 400 bucks. If you're not willing to pick up a wrench, the cost of ownership can be very high. Do your own maintenance, and they are not hugely expensive. If you're not experienced, you should pay a mechanic to do a pre buy inspection. Always assume a used car has deferred maintenance, especially when they're a couple of years or more out of warrantee.

[@boostbook3747]

Vandal thanks for the information. I do almost all of my own Maintenance and work on my S4. Unfortunately, being an Engineering Major, I didn't have enough time to do the whole timing belt service so I had to pay a mechanic to do the job. Thanks for watching!

[@enzoc3869]

Boost Book aha engineering major, I'm doing the same thing....I feel your pain...

[@killayute9]

guy i just did the same thing 239 in parts for the timing belt stuff

[@Super206rc]

Where do You take You car to get Worked on at??

[@boostbook3747]

AUDIRS4 I do the majority of the work myself. This job though, was done at IansSpeedShop in NEPA

[@ryansavage]

Hey I subbed just to get you another, nice vids

[@boostbook3747]

ryansavage clash of clans really appreciate the feedback and sub man. Lots of great content coming your way!

[@PattyintheWoods]

But this could have been prevented if he has done the water pump service he says he did . But is it a good car expect this?

[@boostbook3747]

yes. The car has been perfect. thanks for watching!

[@PattyintheWoods]

Boost Book thinking of buying one as my first car in the summer I’m turning 16 in April

[@boostbook3747]

Patrik Dolancic awesome man. Just have some back up money and you'll be fine. Keep in tuned with the channel so you can learn how to fix things on your own! Thanks man.

[@PattyintheWoods]

Boost Book thank you man, are you planing I do any major mods like upgrading the turbos? Can’t find any on KZbin at all, would love to see a decent build step by step and something to rely on

[@boostbook3747]

Patrik Dolancic yes. This car will be fully built with time. Everything I do on the car will be videoed and put on the channel!

[@keepthinking2666]

blauparts.com they have the kits and install videos and info.

[@jquillenwest6168]

u could of done that all yourself its really not that hard at all and it dosent take more than a day to do

[@Whoporschedatis]

I do that job for like 1300

[@boostbook3747]

Whoporschedatis $2000 included labor and oem parts..

[@BoostedVr5]

What a rippoff😂😂😂😂

[@Mrgoin2B]

"Destroyed by teenagers" yeah right. I'm 18 years old, I've had my B5 S4 for approximately a year and 2 months now and has had no problems whatsoever. Maintained like if should be and going stage 3 soon. Shouldn't really knock of teenagers when you don't really know what's up. Yes, there are those stupid, ignorant teenagers who don't know shit about cars and just wanna have a cool car to show off in but to single out all teenagers as one is quite shitty. Just my 2 cents, didn't mean to come off rude. Just saying it how i see it.

[@boostbook3747]

I decided to rewrite my comment.... I am not bagging on teenagers. At the time of this video I was 19 (still a teen but now just turned 20). It is a fact that the majority of teenagers who get their hands on a B5S4 run it to the ground with improper maintenance. I've experienced it first hand while shopping for months for the right S4. Perhaps I should have said "most teenagers". I hope I didn't hurt your feelings and I'm glad you take care of your S4... Feel free to check out my other S4 videos. Thanks
