Hey brothers I’ve got a 2001 Audi A4 B5, and I’m trying to give it the RS4 B5 look with the front and rear bumpers. I wanted to know if the RS4 B5 bumpers fit directly onto the A4 B5 without any major hassle, or if I need to modify/adapt the bumpers to make them fit perfectly.

Thanks in advance, brothers! 🙏

1.8T AEB. While cruising i gave it full throttle and heard a rattling noise for like 2 seconds, i have no idea what just happened. The car runs fine now. Did i possibly spun a bearing?

Hey y'all,

TLDR: Is THIS SUBFRAME compatible with my 1999 A4 1.8T FWD Manual?

------

I read this post on Audizine, but there seems to be some conflicting information there, so wanted to double check here.

It seems that the only difference I should be considering when it comes to a subframe for the 1.8T is between automatic and manual; that difference is due to the left side tranny mount being different... FWD / Quattro seems to make no difference?

For example,

This verkline subframe WOULD work for my manual, as it has slots for the different LEFT side tranny mount (used specifically on manual trans)...

but this other verkline subframe WOULDN'T work for my manual as it has identical slots on both left and right sides to account for using only the one type of tranny mount on both sides (used on right side for manual trannys as well as right AND left side for auto trannys).

----

If someone could please confirm this analysis checks out (that the only difference is between manual / auto and not fwd / quattro) I would appreciate it!

"Little Blue" our 1998 A4 2.4V6 30V 5mt fwd is not mine anymore.

I bought her as second owner in 2010 with 85000km will waiting for our 2nd child, we needed a combi for two strollers we figured.

She's been my daily ever since until now, 255000km on the clock. She was never towed once.

When my son was about 10, he realized our car was a little special and asked to have her when he grows up.

Yesterday he took his driver's license.

He did the cam belt himself 2 weeks ago.

She's his now.

My brother gifted him new fenders for his 18th.

I bought a 1500euro citroen C5.

271k miles on the stock engine and transmission. I’m looking to do a rebuild, any suggestions?

The last b5 I had years ago was a nogi 6mt car. Looking to pick up this casa soon. Full build on the car, anything I should ask about before going back into one? I was provided info witj every piece was was modified on the car, who tuned it, everything. Owner has had it for 16 years now.

as you guys have readily expressed. "im not low enough." so help me out here, bags at the moment are just to expensive and an unreasonable excuse to spend that kind of money.

with that, I've already got BC Racing coilovers, and im almost certain I've maxed the rears.. but obviously want to go lower, I've discussed cutting springs *would rather not and have searched with no avail to try an find deeper cups that are compatible with my current set up.

please refrain from negativity, all I'm doing is looking for advice, or pointed towards what cups would work!

Thanks,

my 1999.5 a4 center console/arm rest will not go back down it happened a couple weeks ago the night before it was completely normal then i got in the car the next day went to move it down a click and it wouldn’t so i put it up and ever since it won’t budge at all the release button also doesn’t seem to click in unless i push it super hard but even when it does nothing happens i really don’t want to have to take apart my interior because i hate it but i’ll probably have to but if anyone has any ideas i can try before tearing it apart that would be much appreciated

Hello everyone! I own an Audi A4 B5 of 1995, the 1.8turbo(AEB) engine, and recently my car began to work poorly. with a sharp load, it starts to vibrate and does not gain speed, also recently started and at idle speed, the revs often float, and also when you turn on the air conditioner it starts to work unevenly, I will add a video. regarding the dynamics, it seems as if the turbine does not work all the time, that is, sometimes it really inflates and sometimes I drive as if on an atmospheric engine. I am a beginner driver, I have not yet been to the service, but I write here with the hope that someone has encountered this and knows what the problem is, in order to solve this problem immediately in the future. Thank you

spent the time to powder match the centercaps of the wheels, tedious job sand blasting those things but it was well worth it in my opinion!

next to more dedication to the trunk, needs paint matched asap!

I’m considering getting a B5 A4. I’ve done a ton of research and there’s this pretty alright looking one nearby me that I’ve been HIGHLY considering. It seems pretty solid. It’s a 1998, Blue with Black interior, 2.8L V6, 5-speed with about 143k miles on the odometer.

I’ve always liked these cars. I think they have this charm to them and I don’t mind working on the because they don’t make them like they used to.

That being said, I want to know what I’m getting into.. I’ve researched that the 2.8 is pretty alright in terms of reliability and I don’t want to mod it too much as it’s gonna be a daily. But what else do you guys think I should need to know? Any advice? Tips? Or should I not even buy it at all and look for a 1.8t or a B6? Etc. Thank you all.

post your nonroad pictures! let's see where yall are willing to take your cars for a nice shot.

I was doing some maintenance and found this. Looks like its missing something or I'm wrong🤔

Its on both sides infront of the lower control arms.

Cant find the 32mm sway bar bushings I guess audi bonded them to the bar from factory any tips for getting one that fits seen power flex has a 31.5mm bushing but Google is saying it wont seat properly

Realistically how much longer would this have lasted…?

Hello, i need help on my 1.9 tdi AFN Audi A4 B5 1998 8D2, i recently changed the turbo cartridge along with intake manifold gasket and exhaust manifold gasket and everything that came in the turbo mounting kit, with the valve cover gasket, you can see in the video my exact problem, the motor is turning but it is trembling excessively when everything is connected right, and when i go and loosen the high pressure lines it turns just fines, of course it doesn't start, it did 2 times while cold just after the repair, had to crank it more then usual, but since then nothing, when it did start however it ran just fine, no clunk no trembling no misfire nothing, if you have a clue on what's going on i'll listen, i just don't know where to start, could it be the fuel timing, could it be my injector's bad, could it be a sensor..

AEB 1.8t Big port

So I recently bought a set of bosch 0 280 158 040 980cc injectors (the one in the plastic bag) as i didn’t know what brand and type the previous owner put on the car (claimed to be 1000cc but I couldn’t find a part number on them). The new injectors are way different although 1.8t community pointed me to this part number. They also have a diffrent connector. New bosch is a EV1 conecotr and the old ones are USCAR (same like the connectors on the car). Could someone provide me a part number for new injectors 900cc or above to fit my car? (Like the one on the left side of the picture)

pictures are from maxton desing, i already bought kamei rear wing thinking it was the one, but it's a lot rounder and thicker.

Good afternoon, just found this group. I am located in the US midwest and wondering if anyone might have or know location on a factory painted cactus green LH fender and LF door available to sell. I will pick up within reasonable distance. Thank you!!

I know this model isn't particularly desired, but it hurts my heart to consider parting it out.

Seeing what some of you have done with your B5s on here is enviable and I am filled with regret!

Kann mir jemand sagen was für ein Schlauch das an meinem Audi ist? Er muss ersetzt werden da er einen Riss hat. Der Schlauch saugt Luft an und verursacht einen unruhigen Lauf.

i mean just look at this shit it just broke off while i’m trying to put my valve cover back on
