Hey guys,

Not new to the Audi world, previously had an A4 1.8T with some simple mods chip/exhaust/a8 brakes etc. Sold that end of last year and was done with the audi world as i had my 06 BMW X5 4.8is.

Recently fathers car got totaled by someone so was a good oppurtunity for us to pick up another Audi keeping in mind future "modability", and good performance for a cheap price. Just to put it out there I diy everything, not new to audi, and work on other $ cars so the love these cars need isnt an issue, and forums are always nice to get info from as well as i post my own info when i do things.


So we picked up a 2004 A6 2.7T S-line this weekend, got a great deal. Car was in a little rougher shape but that was ok, especially with what it came with and the mods. Onto what it has:

-Fully loaded except no heated seats
-Samco boost hoses
-Maintenance records
-APR 93 octane chip
-APR Exhaust
-Timing belt done December 2013
-117k Miles
-H&R Drop with Koni shocks/struts
-Widebody door sills (i believe thats what they are called)
-Trunk lip spoiler
-Hotchkis Sway bars

It also had CEL, oxygen sensor already ordered, and EGT sensor (currently working to get the polish PCB board).

Other then that the cars interior needed a deep steam cleaning and leather cleanup which i already did the first night, looks 20x better. Needs a full exterior detail, and also needs the headlights polished up yet. Car had a straight black grill which i didnt like and owner gave original too which i installed.

As of now the car really impressed me, it pulls hard, and handles amazing. I will still be doing some things which should help it even more including fixing the CEL things, oil change, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, and center/front diff oils (rear was done 20k ago-trans fluid at 100k)


Like i mentioned before first nights progress was doing full interior detail, and also installed 20mm spacers i had left over from my old a4 - really finishes up the stance nice, need an alignment yet to add some rear camber, and check the front. Also rear right muffler/tip needs adjustment to be even.

It was also missing the bellypan plastic, but since its low the aluminum skid plate from evolution import was already ordered. Excited to see how the car will really run after all the basic maint and CEL fixing. As of now im very impressed regardless.

Why do you need to add camber?

Confused about your car back story. Did your dad wreck your bmw, or his that you drove? What happened to the a4, and is the a6 his or yours?

His a6- my bmw and my a4 that i sold but ill drive this from time to time as well, and he had an 06 sonata dropped/brakes/ real clean and that got wrecked.

Future planned mods when turbos need replacing, whens engines out, do all gaskets/frankenturbo/6spd swap.

It already had the horizontal line black one on it. Didnt like it at all and owner had original too so this went back in. stock looks perfectly fine. Black one made the car look like a cheap pos.

I have those chrome strips for the grille sitting in a box in my garage.

I remember when my dad bought my 04 the dealer was like wanna just take em?

are your egt sensors out? my car was running limp when it's out, so if you're impressed with the performance now, look forward to when it's fixed.

I actually think it may not be...

The guy took it to indy shop and had vag printout and egt was ln there...

I just checked the codes yesterday and only had 2 pointing to b1 s2 oxygen sensor... The code that was on printout wasnt there...

Now im assuming the egt would show up under the normal obd2 codes yes? Not a vag only type code where its "hidden" until you check with that?

Im assuming its good as of now so thats great... I still ordered the polish pcbs for 100$ so i have them right away for future replacement.


I cleared the codes too to see if they would come back which they did, oxygen sensor came in mail already so will be doing that.



Other updates:


Replaced spark plugs with NGK iridiums yesterday and cleaned the k&n filter which was filthy.

More updates...

Changed oil and mann filter, replaced rear pass side oxygen sensor with bosch universal..

Dont know why when his indy shop scanned got egt sensor.. Maybe just a fault and needed clearing but i hooked up my obd tool only got 2 oxygen sensor codes pointing to same one, replaced that and no cel...

Also passed inspection with flying colors as well... Good for me i guess.
