New S4 Owner

John Ret. · 05-15-2006, 10:51 AM

Hi,

Today I put a deposit down on a Vreg Audi S4 B5 (2.7 V6 BiTurbo) with 59k for £11k full Audi service history in nogaro blue

Looking forward to getting my hands on it next weekend,

A few questions though, how often to clutches and belts need changing?

What kind of MPG do you usually get and lastly, what reputable tuning companies are there out there for parts?

I'm thinking of going for a RICA chip from www.chiptuninguk.com as I had one in my last car, a Volvo T5.

Cheers,

John

nice

all depends on how someone before hand has drove the manual hard on the gears... grinding... Normally you can tell when the clutch is going though... i never really heard of a clutch just going out... normally you will feel the difference when the clutch is on the outs. 1st gear then to 2nd gear and then to last gear.... if your rpm's race then your clutch is on its outs

mpg
20 - 25 local / highway

and if your rly trying to get good gas and know how to drive manual really good im sure you can get it to
25-30 mpg
