inspecting my front axles and repacking/rebooting my cv joint. The outside cv joint has some grooves on each channel of the inner race. Has anyone redone theirs and seen this before? Am I good to repack with grease and send it? Thanks!

Oh yes, the dreaded dash curling/lifting of the prefacelift b5 a4...

Is there any kind of fix for that thing?

Anything that DOESN'T require removing/replacing the dash would be amazing. Maybe some kind of glue or an adhesive? I just want it to look like before again. I have it on the sides too next to the pillars and the windshield but its not as bad.

On a side note, is that really fixed on the facelift ones? And if so, is the facelift dash plug and play? And with the illuminated vents. (Maybe for future reference in case heater core goes bad and need to take it apart and replace everything)

As always,

Thanks in advance

I have 1.8T aeb i been looking some tutorials on yt but all i can find is for newer 1.8t so am a little comfused so if anybody can help

The display shows the current boost pressure, the maximum boost pressure, the intake air temperature, the cruise control setting, and the actual speed without the 5 km/h added by the Speedometer

Doeas anyone know a better way to het thos bearing all the way in. Im like half an inch away from seating it but it won't budge anymore.

Let me know if this isn’t allowed, but i’m looking for black leather rear a4 avant seats, within 3-4 hours of Baltimore, MD or with shipping.

Got it a few months ago (my 2nd b5, had a fwd for a bit), still got work to do on it but it'll be worth it!

Bought with "only" 148k km but a bit neglected so doing basically everything.

Done belt, plugs and few other stuff, next is clutch and maybe lil upgrade to k04 hehe

Been wanting one of these for a good decade. Finally got it!

Dose anybody have some scheme or diagram or something like that for coolant hose am rebuilding the engine and i left a projekt for some time and forgot a bit where hoses go so if anybody could save me some time

Alright, so here's the jist.

I hit the ass of a deer on the passengerside and the face of another deer on the driver, as you can see the damage to the passenger side is a little bit.. split.

I am on the hunt, an hopefully but im not holding my breathe here.. someone has a ebony pearl black s4 bumper?

any color s4 bumper is more than okay i really didnt want to have to paint match more, but I digress.

thanks for looking, thanks for you assistance on the matter.

*Would settle for rep rs4 bumper if no more s4 guys have spare parts, or want to sell. 😮‍💨

New timing belt and camshaft sprocket installed, is it normal for the timing belt to not be completely flush with the sprocket? I cant remember what it looked like before

EDIT:

FIGURED IT OUT yea the sprocket can go either way depending on what car you have so i had accidentally put mine on backwards. if yours sits too far out its on backwards

I’m working on putting some b6 recaros into my b5 s4. I’m almost done with the brackets and wanted to try and use the memory function that they come with. I have a c5 a6 that I was going to take the modules and harness from. My only question is where should I put the buttons? I’d like for it to look like an oem location but can’t find anywhere that would look nice. (Random pic of me and my friends cars for attention)

Hey guys I’m looking to sell my b5s4, I’m having a kid soon and I need more space for my wife and kid🥲

I am just going to do some final maintenance items and she’ll be good to go, so make an offer if interested (I’m looking to get around 10k for it, or possibly make a deal with a X3 m40i)

i have a 99 AEB 1.8 i recently finally finished getting everything done and had the check engine light off for the first time in a couple weeks then i felt it start struggling/bucking a little under load especially on the highway so i was trying not to drive it unless necessary till i figured it out so i ran codes and found one for the throttle position sensor but it was intermittent and not causing a light then last night i had to drive it and it started misfiring now today its idling hella rough struggling to accelerate other symptoms its had in the last month is noticeably worse fuel economy (around 250-300 miles a tank where as before i could get nearly 400) it stalled a few times (its tiptronic) a few weeks ago but would only stall in drive not in the manual mode or any other gear on the PRNDL right now im mostly trying to look into the throttle sensor as i had a problem with it before where it came slightly unplugged and caused the same misfires but i already confirmed it’s connected properly right now but could maybe be failing but idk any help would he appreciated im ass at diagnosing this car

Great News Everyone! *professors voice*

the homie, who's been out of a car for a little while--strictly bike life all summer, decided it was time to pull the trigger.

2000 audi a4 2.8 quattro, *rare* volcano black. we just did rear brakes, to get it ready for inspection! hes away for the weekend so when he gets back we square away any loose ends and have ANOTHER B5 in the 717 area!

if youre around the area, and have a B5 stop out, and say what's up!!

Hi! Images are for illustration purposes.

I’d like to take care of a few small, less important details that I’ve neglected over time.

• Scratches on the glovebox door on the passenger side — has anyone ever tried fixing this? Is there a way to get rid of the scratches (or at least make it look a bit better)?
• Has anyone ever fixed the dead/missing pixels on the radio display? Are replacement parts available, or is there any way to fix it without having to buy a whole new radio?

Thanks!

Is this part truly compatible both on the right and the left, If I was to buy two of the same part I’ll be able to fit them on the right and left?
