The B7 3.2L Thread

[AUDI101]

Seems most people have the 2.0T and makes finding threads for the 3.2 a little long. How about we use this thread to discuss mods and issues and so fourth with the 3.2L. i havent done many mods yet but plan on picking up some springs and A8 wheels in the near future.

Im also interested in what exhaust is available for the 3.2

[1Knight]

Ya, there aren't very many threads for the 3.2L. When I first joined, I found it quite difficult to find 3.2 related stuff. Anyway, I am doing some mods on my 3.2, but mostly aesthetics. Not really up for engine mods. Here is mine so far.

[Echo3One]

Here's a few pics of my 3.2L. The only performance MOD I have is the AWE 3.0 exhaust since we are limited on performance MODS. I'll probably be ordering the EVOMs intake here pretty soon.

[EuroA4]

Looks good....clear those corners next!

[toothysaw2]

apparently we all drive black cars...

[1Knight]

haha, that's kinda funny, does seem like we all drive black cars. Is it hard to clear the corners and where do you get the clear corners? How much work is required? Also, if I paid a shop to do it, how much would it cost you think?

[G18]

keep the pics comin they all look great.

[AUDI101]

Cool keep em coming ! I cant beleive so far all Black LOL.

[AudiWxGuy]

Thanks for the comment. I am running Vogtland coilovers. As far as the wheel specs I don't know. DPE custom builds their wheels to your vehicles specs and they don't tell you.

not black and not a sedan




bump for any aftermarket exhaust sound clips

[Snowman]

My 3.2 is also black sedan;-) I would have prefferd a 3.2 pearl bleu Avant but, was not available.

[08A4BringinIt]

Let me get in on this. I am looking for some mods, nothing serious but I am amazed at how much is out there for the 2.0T and how little is available for the 3.2L. Finding even the simplest things like air intakes or short-throw shifters is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I'd also like to learn about the clear corners. I know what they are. What's involved? New light housing? Inserts? What?

How do you search for 3.2L-related posts? I tried the search using "3.2" and nothing ever comes back.

It involves taking the orange caps out of the headlights. All you have to do is take off the bumper (or if you're good at you can get away with not taking the whole thing off) then removing the headlight, heating the headlight and opening it, then just pop off the orange cap . Then just put it back together!

[JGreen76]

Glad to see a 3.2 thread! I just have a K&N drop-in, h-sport sways, some amber fogs and koni CO's. Oh yeah, and it's not balck, but close....
All the other 3.2's(^^) look great!

[3.0 King]

this reminds me of when i was starting out with the 3.0 so i feel everyones pain when it comes to performance options.

IMO. here's a thought. just maybe the new s/c audi is putting out may just fit the 3.2. until audi releases one here in the states we will have to wait and see. but there is a good chance that it will. There are many parts in the audi parts bin that are interchangable thru out the motor line.

[vwchop]

wow they are all black. lol heres myin pretty much all stock.i took the badges off and i put 15mm spacers on the rear just becouse i had them lyin around. and i did the fogand city light mod. but wut exhuasts do we have and does anyone make a chip yet?

[snosk8tr123]

PM me if you are interested in clear corners. I have already done a bunch and i am in orange county.

[JGreen76]

aftermarket exhaust soud clips please.......

What did you use to tint your tail lights?

[3.2some]

Any B6 3.0 or S4 exhaust will fit the 3.2L (see AWE,Remus etc. etc.) . As far as chips go check out Speedtuning and Unitronic.

[Audi007]

i'm a stock 3.2, but i do enjoy seeing all the mods people do

[M threezy]

I am having a hard time finding a BLACK 3.2 AVANT with Titanium

[Kerby]

This is it for 3.2's?

[Bigswede]

Well, I also got a 3.2 quattro but it's an avant and it's dakarbeige. No mods to the engine whatsoever, but was thinking about a k&n filter with oem look, the 33-2209... Anybody runnin' that?
Difference? Feel? Noise?

[hardleft]

Another A4 Quattro 3.2 here, mine is silver, all stock, 2005.5, premium pkg., sport pkg., nav., cold weather pkg.. Digging this thread, I'll post pics soon.

[Kerby]

Just bought mine today, black/tan... I hate this stupid headlight flickering thing.

[CONTROL TWO]

seems like most of us are content to do exhaust/suspension/cosmetics

i emailed PES a while back about a supercharger for 3.2 because they have one for the 2.8 and 3.0... no response though.. lame..

i like 3.0 king's idea about the new S4's supercharger but that will probably more expensive than getting a custom job done in the end because of how expensive oem shit is

why not talk to VF about SC

[eskimopunk]

the reason there isn't many mods for the 3.2 is cos most ppl buy the 2.0T and turbos are easier and cheaper to make go faster... its like how many ppl modded the 1.8T vs the 3.0?? the 1.8T took over the vr6 and the 2.0 is the new 1.8

What type of suspension is this?

Any one know of a good clean drop without coilovers?

Pics?

[3.0 King]

IMO, i think VF will do more supercharging as soon as the 4.2 is done. The ball will get rolling for VF once the sc4.2 is showing solid reliability.this will probably spawn good news for the 3.0 and 3.2. it is a open market for VF to look at with the 3.0,3.2 and why not. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[ProgMetalHead]

Hey, guys. Would you say the 3.2L is significantly better than the 3.0L? Extra 35HP and possibly better fuel economy, right? Just trying to learn more about the different models :)

[mistyman]

Man, 50more horses would make me and ready for the track. Could you list out your resources? Much appreciated

[Flighttester]

I also noticed that there were few threads relating to the 3.2 also. From my own experience with the car, I would say that's because 3.2 owners didn't get the car to hot-rod the four banger and the 3.2 is usually equiped pretty well right out of the dealer, so there is less need to add to it later.

Whatever the reason, I'm just about at the one year mark for my B7 (and almost 14,000 miles and I still get impressed about things on the car. I really have no desire for more power and I love the way the smooth shifting six-speed box. If anything, I wish the NAV radio would take larger that 2 gig SD card and would allow putting MP3's in some sort of a file structure. Other than that, I have no real complaints.

The engine sound at high RPM is great and the cruise fuel efficiency is spectactular.

Without the V-6, I wouldn't have bought the A4.

That's how i felt too, but now that i've had my car for 3+ years, i feel like i need more power....little more "oomph".

[Mezzer]

I'm here too. Quartz Gray Metallic 3.2Q Avant.

I knew going in there wasn't alot of power upgrades for this engine and thats why I went with the 3.2 instead of the 2.0T. I would've been either broke or divorced...actually both would probably be the case.

So far I've found the usual stuff. EVOM CAI, RS4 rear sway, H & R springs(yuck), Alcon front rotor only upgrade, Neuspeed RS-10 19" rims, Milltek exhaust, S4 rear valance CF, Deval RS4 front bumper.

I'm going to get a better camera eventually and take some good pix, here's a couple for now.

[B7er]

^^^ is your milltek exhaust resonated or non-resonated?? how loud is it??

Add another black 3.2 to the list!

I just picked up my certified pre-owned on saturday and have a few questions for the 3.2 people.

does your engine make a noticable whine that corresponds to the rpm's, almost like the sound of a supercharger? It is freaking me out because it potentially sounds like something is wrong with the car.
