    Hello everyone. So I jumped ship from my B5 S4 stage III to a 2010 Audi S4 Premium Plus 6mt. Got it for a great price. Got some ideas for the Intake, exhaust, and tune. Plus some low and dare I say a flush fit.

    Car is in amazing shape no cuts/tears in the interior, no dents (barely a scratch), very smooth motor. Stealership actually did a good job of ensuring it was good to go.

    My question is what would you recommend for free/cheap maintenance or mods (under $100) while my wife calms down and is on spending lockdown? (can't complain much her credit helped significantly)

    I plan a roc euro intake, home brew exhaust (xpipe), H&R sport springs, APR tune (stage 1 for now), and possibly water/meth. (that blue stuff tasty)

    There is fuel rail recall (maybe later B8 years) - and a Thermostat recall - other than that there isn't a ton of must do maintenance beyond the scheduled list..... These cars have proven out to be fairly reliable vs previous gens.

    Basically I would just check with Audi and make any recall work is complete prior to any Mods - then you're all set.

    Will do I wonder if the Volkswagon dealership (they dropped carrying Audi's) would be able to check. Looks like the car has been maintained but I can't find any maint records.

    *edit* Looked up the VIN on Audi and didn't get any TSB's or recalls

    Less expensive mods:

    LED license plate lights
    LED interior lights
    Rubber floor mats - I'd suggest weather tech
    Cleaning supplies to properly clean it - leather conditioner etc
    Paying to get any curbed wheels repaired

    Curbed wheels are getting replaced. Going to roll these for the winter, then in the spring get a new set of wheels and fix these to be winter wheels. As for interior/Exterior I have quite a few products to clean I'm having my Brother who runs a home detailing shop do the detailing 2x per year. Looking at a Dipstick right now as I'm leary of the oil level feature. Just feels right to pull the dipstick.

    Also looking at the aluminum oil filter cover for both my Wife's jetta and my Audi.

    LED's sound like a good choice, heard the kit from ECS is pretty good.

    I do see that it looks like the filter is a cone filter, I have a variety of filters that I replaced and cleaned to possibly sell later (3", 3.25", 3.50") There a way to do a low buck intake mod without cutting? I want that supercharger whine!

    All I know is this. I'm in love with this car. Just drove across the state for the military and it was the most enjoyable, comfortable, smooth drive i've had. Just wish she made a little more noise and was a little more aggressive.
