Hi, the thing is, I want a good maintained car on low mileage. For a 2001 S4 (I'm looking at them right now) it will be around $10k for 100k miles. I bought my 2000 A4 2.8 for $10k on 49k miles. The cars are very much alike. So I was thinking I'll buy the engine, the tranny and the other required components and it will cost me around $10k.

Hi, you're welcome.

Word of warning though, if you attempt to do the throttle body yourself, is that when the throttle body is put back in, it NEVER goes in the same place, and the ECU needs to be calibrated bvia the VAG COM interface. TThis needsto be set to basic setting 98. If you dont do this, every time the car approcahes idle it could well stall, since the computer thinks the throttle body is in a different position.
If you can calivbrate it, then it's not too much of a job, otherwise, best to take it to a garage.

Removing and refitting the throttle body is not a major issue, and you are right it is at the other end of the pipe.

Good luck!

But yeah I guess I'll just save up some cash and buy a decent one because you know hella a lot more than I do. Although I love the S4 B5, I'm just in love with that car.

Heh thanks for the present. I just hope I actually sit down and read it. Cheers

I've checked as many of the hoses as I can and they look okay, although this does'n't mean that it's not a hose.
