    Stronger Acceleration….08 S4

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I drove my friends S4 today, 6k on the odometer and his felt much more responsive. My car has 44k (B7) and I would like to get the most out of it, esp now after experiencing one in close to new cond.
    How can we restore all the power that is meant to be there when our cars were new?
    Fuel injector cleaning?
    Intake cleaner?
    New plugs?

    I had a Milltek exhaust, Hyperflow intake and APR software in my S4 - was tip. Went to test drive a stock 6 speed, and I could tell a difference.

    You are supposed to clean your fuel injectors every 15,000 miles. If you haven't done so, I can almost guarantee that that is your problem. Also by cleaning, I don't mean a bottle from the parts store. good Luck!

    You have to take it to a professional who plugs a machine onto your fuel rail and flows cleaner through it. It'll cost you anywhere from $120.00 to about $160.00. I get it done on all my cars every 15k and it makes a big difference.
