01 audi s4

[eclipse98]

Hey guys what's your thoughts on buyin an Audi with 100k on it? Reliable should I worry about things, obviously it's a car so I check the regular things but anything related to Audi specific I should look for? Thanks

[Elliott18t]

have the k03s(if it still has them) been replaced? timing belt? rest are typical things you would look at for a 100k car.. see if you can get maintenance history.

[eclipse98]

I'll Check them out and I'm going to look at it tomorrow so I'll see I they have the records. If they haven't been replaced don't buy it right?

[Elliott18t]

they are pretty typical to go out them, and its pricey to replace.(have to pull the engine) if you want to do it yourself, the whole front end comes off and pretty sure there is a writeup.

[eclipse98]

What type do u replace them with, I'm tryin not to go crazy with this because this might be a dd lol. I have a GSX that's fast so I not tryin to go crazy with this car.

[Elliott18t]

k04s seem to be more reliable for them IIRC

[eclipse98]

What's the difference between the two? Faster? Better spool?

[boostislove]

K04's come stock on the RS4 and are a little bigger than the K03's. They're gonna spool roughly the same but the K04's won't run out of breath like the K03's do.

Ok so in other words if those turbos in it aren't rebuilt than don't buy it lol, and of ourse all the reg. Things check out

ko3's last a long time the stories about ko3's failing is just that a story people tell that dont know about the cars if u drive it like a normal person they will last if u drive like me they will kill them self's

boostislove.. u know how i drive

I think a big problem with the earlier turbo'd cars was the oil feed lines. The k03 is not an unreliable turbo.

I think most things were covered.. valve cover gaskets, timing belt, turbo's on this engine. Also clutch if it is a manual.

[eclipse98]

well i found a s4 with 106xxx on it and the price right now is 7899.99 thought that was a really good price for a neoblue one or what ever that sick blue called

[cbirgl]

I wouldn't say its a bad price, but just consider the things it might need. Also motor mounts are probably shot... I could probably go on with a list all night. If you are looking for a DD car why not an A4 or something with a 1.8t AWD? easier and cheaper to work on

thought it was odd that the s4's k03s would die, mainly going off of what i heard since i dont have one.
