RE: Advice on buying this 2000 s4
First of all, welcome to the forum Townshend2372!!
As far as the pics go:
1. Ewwwwww! Get rid of the Reiger wing! That is just wrong!
2. Wheels are a bit ricey - black spokes just look odd to me IMO.
As far as the mods go:
1. The HKS BOVs need to be replaced - they are not a proper wastegate for the system.
2. I'd ask which APR chip is in the car - what options if any.
Final points to consider:
1. The mileage is huge for a 4 year old car - I doubt it was all highway either (see #4 below).
2. I'd find out if the TBB, the f-hose, and the coolant sensor switch were upgraded - they should have been done.
3. I'd find out when the timing belt, water pump, and fuel pump were replaced, if at all.
4. I'd find out how many times the car has been tracked - it seems obvious, considering the mods.

I bought the car, stole it i think, and found out that the big service was done at 105k miles, i have all audi receipts. As for upgrades those parts have not been changed. It is currently running rich. Every once in awhile it blows out some whiteish blueish smoke outta the exhaust.
If you could please let me know where and what to get for those parts i would appreciate it.
And let me know how difficult it is to do this.
THANK YOU!!

RE: Advice on buying this 2000 s4
the whiteish blue smoke could be from a bad turbo seal. But thats my thought i wouldn't go around and saying thats whats wrong with it.
but with some supra's thats the telling point of when your stock turbos are about to go.
