Bought the car for our oldest daughter and plan to enjoy modding it for her:

[MongoMcG]

Not mine, but just like it except for the front license plate.

A bad turbo brought me here to save money by wrenching for myself, but the great information here has cost me a lot of money because I keep finding good stuff.

2011 A4 B8 Quattro 6 Speed Prestige with Titanium Sport Package MMI Nav
Phantom Black on black leather sport seats, 3 spoke steering wheel, sport suspension, black window and grill trim, piano black interior trim and black headliner, B&O,
Engine code: CAEB, Transmission code: 0B2/LRY
Ordered from dealer in December 2010;
delivered February 2011 (absolutely worth the wait);
hit by a windstorm induced flying trampoline in March 2011;
replaced every body panel except rear passenger door (worth the wait again).
I have not found more perfect shoes for this car than the original 19" titanium wheels.
Bone stock and dealer serviced at every interval, moderate oil usage (1L/900mi), 90K miles on first set of brakes, 117K 'til timing chain replacement, 136,000 miles until K03 turbo waste gate failure. That is now. Even with Michigan winters the suspension is fine, and I'm not getting younger, so it's time to make a race car. Target: 380 AWHP, 420 ft/lb torque on 93 octane.

Since nothing major has failed on this car, and because it's a while-you're-in-there thing, I am starting with pre-emptively replacing known failure points using only genuine Audi parts (unless noted) and part numbers are listed:
~ battery - yep, got 11 years out of the first battery, so I bought another from the dealer (000915105DL)
~ vacuum pump gasket (06H103121J)
~ water pump - keep old for spare (06H121026BAKT) - the kit include thermostat, temp sensor and gasket)
~ diverter valve - Pierburg OEM (‎7.01830.13.0) - keep old for spare
~ engine oil separator / PCV (06H103464L) - keep old for spare
~ secondary oil separator - not a known failure point, just another excuse to never want to get rid of this car (06H103464L)
~ the three stamped steel things that make contact with the radiator support shield (belly pan) front to rear:
- lower radiator support brackets - replace (Audi p/n - 8K0805527A, 8K0805528A)
- restore/repaint oil pan (on car)
- x-brace - replace with ECS billet and new bolts (ES#4220371 - bolts are incl. in kit)
~ all fluids except A/C refrigerant and windshield washer fluid
- Engine oil - 4.3L Liqui-Moly 5W-40 Leichtlauf High Tech engine oil (2332) (note: oil additive brings total to 4.6L)
- Engine oil additive - 300mL Cera-tec (20002)
- Engine oil filter - Hengst (06J115403Q)
- M14 x 1.5MM Stainless Steel Engine Magnetic Oil Drain Plug (Votex ‎DP001)
- Gear oil, manual trans - 4.8L genuine Audi gear oil (G055532A2)
- Gear oil, rear differential oil - 0.9L Audi 75W-90 (G052145S2)
- Gear oil additive - Liqui Moly MoS2 Anti Friction Additive (2019) - 2 tubes in trans, 1/2 tube in diff
- Brake fluid flush - 1L approximately of Audi DOT4 (B0007501LDSP)
- Cooling system flush, replace with 7L of Vaico G13 (G013A8J1G), diluted 50/50 with distilled water (note: factory coolant is G12)
- Power steering flush, 1L approx. Pentosin CHF202 (CHF202)
- Power steering additive - 1 tube RVS triboceramic treatment (P2RVS)
~ Belly pan screws/pins/clip nuts, headlight mounting screws, radiator core support screws, - pretty much all the rusted hardware up front - (N90775001, N90967502, N91057001, 8W0805121, 8K0863788, N90610602, 8K0805922A, N10442204, N10535502, N90342504, N90610602, N90683302, N90684705, N90684707, N90761102, N90808503, N90896301, N90967502, N91171401)

Then the fun stuff:
Engine oil dipstick (06J115611L)
CTS K04 X Hybrid turbo (CTS-TR-1070X) and turbo blanket (CTS-TB-B-03)
IE cat and down pipe (IEEXCG1)
Wagner tuning FMIC and silicone hoses (200001045KT)
CTS charge pipe (CTS-IT-267)
IE intake manifold and install kit (IEIMVC1-bk and IEIMVC10)
APR Upgraded Ignition Coils (MS100208-4KT)
Iridium Spark Plugs - One heat range colder plug, beneficial to performance turbo applications (BKR8EIXKT)
P3 V3 digital gauge (L3P3AB8X) - installed in left a/c vent
Genuine Audi high pressure fuel pump (06J127025L) - I bought a new pump to do the 034 piston upgrade
034 Motorsports HPFP upgrade (034-106-6052) - new piston design provides up to 50% more fuel
South Bend Clutch Stage 2 Endurance with dual mass flywheel (K70614F-HD-OCE)
ECS Oil catch can (ES#2960610) - between PCV and turbo, not between the PVC and intake
034 Motorsports rear diff carrier inserts (034-505-2019 & 034-505-2016)
CTS Turbo transmission mount insert (CTS-HW-0150)

All of the parts are here, the intercooler is installed and I'm in the middle of removing the K-03 turbo. I'm waiting for the super short triple square sockets (OTC 5942) to arrive so I can remove the banjo bolt that is tucked in right next to the frame rail. Then I'm estimating 5 days to tear it down, give the freshly accessible areas a good cleaning and bolt on the horsepower. (That 5 days will stretch to 15, of course.)
I have not decided on a tuner yet, but I'm leaning toward Steve's European Auto in Michigan.

Hi everyone.

Bone stock 2013 All road 2T, 101k miles. First Audi so total virgin. Have other hot rods and build cars so not new to wrenching.

Mods will be slow as money is tight. Currently just want to spend time going over the car, learning all about it and making sure it's 100% before I start the fun stuff. I know I need to do rear brakes, look at exhaust and tend to a few dings and chips. I'm thinking about putting some color on the wheels, maybe black, maybe bronze... We'll see.

Anyway, glad to be here, I'll try to search before I ask.IMG_20221009_165828.jpg

Welcome!

Make sure you do your homework before you tackle the rear brakes as you’ll need vagcom (or equivalent) to open up the e-brake.

If you want to cycle the abs (assuming you bleed) you’ll also need this tool. Def recommend picking one up.

Hello everyone. New member here on the forum. This is my 2016 A4 competition plus 6MT. Have had it for a little over a year now and so far it’s been a great car. I have had a few gripes and hiccups with it but nothing that can’t be smoothed out during my ownership. Thanks for having me IMG_2235.jpg

Factory Specs: 2013 allroad, Premium Plus, Sport Interior
Mod list: 19" A5 Wheels, APR Stage 1

Hey Y'all

I picked up a 2013 B8.5 Allroad back in May with 64k miles on the clock. I found a great deal on Craigslist in Nashville from an older couple and decided to go for it since the new Civic SI that was "in my budget" got quoted at $44,000 (HA). I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee and I'm a mechanical engineer working in the BIM world for anyone familiar. This is the third Audi in the family (2006 A3 2.0T DSG, and 2012 A3 2.0T DSG). I'm a car nut with a couple of old Miatas and a 2003 Tacoma that I have some fun with on weekends.

Fast forward to today and I have gone through the following:

-Fixed a wonky center armrest mechanism.
-New high pressure fuel pump to resolve a long crank when the engine was hot.
-APR Stage 1 tune to go from soccer mom to soccer dad.
-New CV Axles from Raxles after getting some not-so-fun vibrations with "PDL" replacement axles. This was actually a nightmare to diagnose... who expects brand new axles to be so ridiculously bad????
-19" A5 5-spoke wheels so that I can lower the car and go for the German OEM Sport look/feel.. I'm thinking A4 Avant S-Line.

I'm looking forward to rarely using the search function and eventually asking a question that has already been answered! Cheers!

Hello All,

Username: 911Syncro
Delivery Date: June 2023
Current Mileage: 118,000
Factory Specs: 2010 A4 Avant, Premium level, Sport Package
Mod list: Bovee for tunes

For over 6 years I've used a 2002 911 C4S as a half-time daily driver along with my 1989 Vanagon Syncro the other half. Well, these 2 cars are excellent: 996 C4S perhaps the perfect sports car / 911 but sometimes not so practical. The Syncro perhaps the best utility vehicle every made, can do anything and everything except go fast, and can be uncomfortable. So I needed something in between, in the middle. They kept saying, "hey Grandpa you need to get an SUV". So I got an SUV. (You know, 4-5 seats, big hatch area - I can't stand all those egg shaped thingys that we actually call SUVs).

Or call it a towne car, or an estate car. Really like it, I've been wanting an Audi A4 Avant for probably 2-3 years, great for zipping around town or freeway cruising. Excellent service history and in very good condition, I found the window sticker in the owner's manual portfolio, 2 owners who took great care of the car (engine rebuild, on-time service intervals). It is the base "Premium" model with the Sport Package and with good options: Not black-white-grey-or-silver, light colored interior, excellent sport package (see below), wood inlays, the stance seems to be like the S4 Avant.

After years of researching and debating if I wanted to deal with the common issues of these cars, I finally pulled the trigger on a seemingly well taken care of brilliant red 2010 Avant with black interior. I tried to find a red S Line with the Prestige package but those seem impossible to find. Pistons, timing and a few other things were taken care of by the previous owner so I figured it was a decent buy at $7350. I picked it up in North Carolina and drove it straight to Texas without any issues, thankfully.

Car was delivered to a Maryland dealer in Baltimore, then 5 years later made it's way to Seattle area, then down to Portland and eventually to San Diego.

The car has had a lot of work done to it. For some reason, it has had new bearings and had the crank polished and balanced. I am just doing maintenance on it and may entertain a Stage 2 tune at some point.

Just picked up a 2013 audi allroad PP. 65k on the clock, shows signs of an 11yr old car on the exterior (chips/dings/scratches), interior is in great shape with the sports seats and paddle shift. Too new to this forum to post pics I guess. Already lowered it (yea I know defeats the purpose of the allroad) on ecs coilovers, about 2.5 inches all around. Look forward to posting and getting info from here.

P.S. - long time VW guy , have a mk2 VR6 as my fun/project car as well, loving the allroad as a new dad and daily!

[jeezoshop]

Recently aquired a 2011 A4 Quattro 2.0l 8zf, got it cheap because the pistons won a disagreement with the valves when the tensioner failed to keep them apart. Initially I was going to fix and flip but Ive decided to keep it awhile so its getting k04.

Looking for some help with my b8. I bought an a4 quattro, guy was delivering the car and it just powered down on the highway and ended up being towed. Battery seemed low wouldn't crank, said service oil, service due, service stabilitytrak, parking brake malfunction. I scanned it using just a basic scan tool, threw a p000A, and a p0011 code. I've changed the battery still no crank, changed the camshaft position sensor still no crank, replaced the vvt adjustment magnet, still no crank.

My question is will these cause I no crank? It's a one click so I know it's getting the power to the starter, just not powering the starter.

I've watched a red lots about relays so I decided to replace all of them, still no crank

Unfortunately you won’t see much without a proper vagcom (Ross tech) scan tool.

When that happened to me it ended up being my fuel pump, but my car would start and then die after a few seconds each time.
