We have enjoyed our time with Project Audi B7 S4, and in our initial review of the vehicle we discussed how it was just on loan to us from M&M Motors in Clinton, CT. We decided early on to keep...
As we wrap up our stay with Project Audi B7 S4, we decided to take the time to address of some of the smaller issues that a "new to me" owner would tackle after taking receipt of a project vehicle. When we took in Project B7 S4 some time ago, we noticed a few small things that bugged us about the...
As I tacked on mile after mile on project B7 S4's clock, I suddenly realized that I overlooked the most basic routine maintenance one should first handle whenever taking possession of a used vehicle, changing the oil. In our initial review of project Audi B7 S4, we noted that we did have a slight...
Still giddy after our last road test on project Audi B7 S4, and the newer handling capabilities of our project vehicle, I left myself wondering if there was more we could get out of our project vehicle in the corners. As I mentioned in our first suspension project, Audi with their Quattro system,...
It is hard to argue out of the box handling performance on a B7 S4 (or any Audi Quattro for that matter), even with All-Season Nokian tires, factory suspension that is 11 years old, and no other real upgrades or modifications, she sticks. However, when we were last with Project B7 S4, upgrading...

Introduced in late 2004, the fourth generation B7 S4 was more a facelift than it was a new platform for Audi. While this model featured sleeker and more aesthetically pleasing design cues compared to its predecessors, not much was changed in light of suspension geometry, engine configuration, and...
I may be the BMW Catalog Manager at FCP Euro but my better half happens to own a Volkswagen. I changed the oil on this vehicle at home with basic tools and decided to share the process with you. Changing your vehicles oil on your own is not only a great way to save some money but it's also...
Your B5/B6/B7 chassis A4 was designed to be a sports sedan (In my case, sports wagon ☺), without compromising refinement and comfort for daily driving. A vehicle's front suspension plays a critical role in helping the vehicle achieve these dynamics. Instead of the more traditional McPherson...
I recently acquired an Audi A6 Avant and one of the first things I noticed was the Air Conditioning system was not functioning. I checked the refrigerant level and it was low so I charged the system, got the air functioning and uncovered a new issue. The A/C condenser fan was not functioning. On...
