Ha - I also have a 6MT 2012 S4. It's been superb for the 13 years of ownership. I've done stage 2 GIAC tune, the clutch delay removed. SS clutch line. Sways, Lowered on HR springs with Bilstein B8 Shocks, AWE exhaust, Short shift kit, flat bottom steering wheel, intake..... I'm selling it next year though - it's developed some rust and I'm ready for a change. Doing a 2025 Golf R. 5k is hard to believe. I paid almost 60k for mine new. I wouldn't sell it for less than 20k now. 25k perhaps.
Bro! You are steadily winning! You manage to line up simultaneously with a lot of other major hotrodders and RUclips car enthusiasts 😂 we all seem to miraculously somehow snatch up these cheapies when the market seems to be chaotic. I am happy to see a young man with impeccable enthusiasm these days who aren't afraid of taking chances. High risk, high reward. That's how we win 🏆
I'd argue the A3, S3 platform is Audi's most tunable platform (MQB Chassis and EA888.3 motor) since it shares the bones of the Golf R / GTI. But the S4 is an excellent platform, that 3.0T is complicated, but very reliable. Enjoy that thing and love the content!
@@JacobHalfman You just need to replace literally everything in a 2.0t to make even close to a FBO S4, you will still get beat by the S4 but if you are running spacecraft grade fuel you can say you have a 600 HP S3 / Golf R which you can literlaly never ever use.
@@klasmvm4966 just say you don't know the platform. Tune, turbo, E85, Intercooler, downpipe and you're already at 550. The EA888 in the Golf R and S3 has a forged crank and rods, you don't need to do much until you cross the 600 mark. It would be easier for you just to say you don't know ball brother. There was never any hate on the S4 in my original comments, so you're showing your APR by coming out of the weeds like that. Don't bring that dodge fan attitude into the audi scene.
@JacobHalfman EA888 gen3 100% MQB 100% the s4 is still nice. But as with all these cars. You must do the timing chain. Or at a very minimum know how much stretch it has.
It’s an excellent car u’ve acquired she’s a thoroughbred! I drive a 2011 BMW E90 6 speed manual 4 door salon an absolute thoroughbred as well and everything I’ve watched u build and how u present is fab to watch. Sadly I’m on hospice pancreatic and liver cancer is crushing me so to have such a well thought out scheme presented is well appreciated and I’m very looking forward to following along and see u sort this beast out. I’ve used FCPEuro for countless projects on my E36 now parked with 368,000 and to find a company that has everything under one roof is a godsend. Good luck with this and again thank u for this excellent channel!!!
You're my favourite youtuber and person, you pretty much got me into film photography and now you got me hooked to your car projects too. The content is always good, no matter what. But what makes it extra special is your personality. Sometimes I feel like I want to be like you, a chill and cool guy. Thank you so much for all your videos and photos, really makes me day!!
Congratulations on your purchase! I have the exact same colour S4 with DSG transmission here in the UK, got it 5 years ago straight from Audi approved in mint condition and in love with it ever since! The tune makes a massive difference as well, it will bring the car alive (I went with 034 and it's amazing). Good luck with the mods!
LOL, as a Volvo guy with a decked out P2R I completely agree. Have both a B8.5 and P2R, the simplicity of the P2R is night and day. Both are amazing machines. Great Vid.
Very nice, Man! Stoked to watch this series! I love the Volvo V70R, as I had an S60R for a few years and loved it; minus the turning radius 😂;, but I’m an Audi guy at heart. I just sold my B8 S4 after 10 years because I wasn’t ready to do what you’re about to do, because of other Audi projects. If you have to do the catalytic converters, pray and use lots of PB Blaster or a MAP gas torch. They are a total pain. Took me 13 hours over 3 days because I was on jackstands in my garage. Woof. Keep them coming!
Wow! I remember watching your channel with the Volvos when you had 500 subs!! Now 66k!?! Well deserved, best channel on YT. Amazing content. Great work man!
This car and A6 from 2015nare the dream. There is something special about these models. Love the content. Love the colour, love the car. Keep it going and take care of it please.
Best of luck with this project! What a car this S4 is, easily my favorite generation as far as looks/engine combo goes. I test drove an automatic one a few years back and loved it, but I haven't been able to put myself to buying and owning one 😂
Knew you from your photography, just today realizing you're into cars as well!!! My dad had a B8.5 S4 when I was younger and that car was such a joy to ride in and drive once around the neighborhood lol. Looking forward to the series!
@@ihate_5x108 Salt should be illegal. Here in norway, working on cars is simply not enjoyable. You spend more time stripping bolts and grinding away and welding rust holes than actually modding / repairing the car. My car has only been driven through winter once in its 26 year old life, and its completely rotten underneath, FROM ONE WINTER
@ that’s insane that it gets that bad. Most bolts are hard to break free on any car in the Midwest US, but you can still find some clean cars. I drive my wagon every winter and wash it every week or two and it’s pretty much spotless underneath. Volvo also did a great job rust-proofing those cars, so I’m sure that a big contributor to its condition.
Nice video. I’m owning a 2013 S4 estate with approx. 100k milage. It has a stage 1 and open air filter, resulting in about 400bhp. Very strong and reliable car. Of course, it need proper maintance and that’s it gets too. Interesting to see how you get your’s fixed for the cross country ride.
These are excellent cars. They're complicated to work on, but very reliable when well maintained. Been called the Audi Camry lol. People take these things to over 200k miles on stage 2+, which is roughly a 150hp increase over stock. Main things to look out for is the PCV system, which can be easily deleted And the cats, which clog and can seize the engine when they fail. Other than that, the only thing that ever really causes issues is the auto trans, which obviously isnt a problem for you. A couple upgrades i consider an absolute must are -Heat exchanger -front subframe brace -Drivetrain bushing inserts -rear swaybar Enjoy the car man! I absolutely loved my b8.5 S5. An almost perfect daily driver imo.
I was looking at buying one of these years ago but went with a small SUV because I knew I would want to hit some backroads. As usual, love the videos. Keep Killing it.
These are fantastic! I have a soft spot for VW, Porsche and Audi (as well as Volvo and the humber Mazda Miata). Your car choices are like a rewind through my experience of owning and driving various cars like this over the decades. Cheers, Willem? ✌
Not sure about this specific engine, but my guess is a complete swap on timing components/guides would be very smart since many S/RS eat them like cookies. And did I see some blue smoke from the exhaust when revving? Maybe check the valve stem seals just to be sure, my guess is they could be due to a refresh as well.
These rock, I've had 2 b8s now. Sold my old one to my brother. Will be buying these for daily drivers for the next 10 years I think as its one of the last sports sedans with a 6 speed.
My wife and I have a ‘16 Tiguan R-Line, and I used to have an ‘11 gti with the same engine. It’s a fantastic engine but that faulty timing chain tensioner is a widowmaker on the early years (‘10 thru like ‘14) if you don’t know about it.
I actually built a 09 Audi A4 2.0t with 650hp i also swapped out the 6spd automatic with a ZF8HP55. I put in a CTS big boss 600 turbo 83.5mm JE racing pistons, Total Seal gapless rings and AWE catback exhaust quad outlets. It sounds incredible it makes 28lbs of boost. I cant wait for summer again so I can take it out. I been building it for a year now. I would love to have that 3.0 super charged engine. Can't wait to see what you do.
I literally have a saved search for cheap B8/B8.5 S4's around LA and SD, because every couple of weeks the temptation hits and I almost buy one lol. Super underrated cars, stoked to see how this project turns out.
I'm a huge fan of this brand. And even because of the Quattro and the design. You're lucky. A car like this here in Portugal, even with mechanical problems, can be expensive to buy. Around 30000 euros more or less.
Love this channel. Hope you stick to the longer build series’s! Too many auto channels fall into doing cheap “freak of the week” purchases for the thumbnail then never finishing them off.
My audi A6 avant has the same engine. It has 207k Miles on it, I'm sure this car with all the maintenance you are doing should be very safe to do a cross country trip. When you take the supercharger off make sure to check your supercharger intercoolers for leaks though.
Honestly, for that model/colour combo even with issues 5k is a bargain! Looks really clean for 110k. Also quick glipse of all your cars/projects would be nice in one of the future videos please👀
It´s those details like the matching blue shirt with the new Audi, nice man. Did u manage to recover the VW Tiguan btw? I remember when u posted that roadtrip with Joe haha man time flies!
I went through 3 sets of firestone indy 500s before i found continental extreme contact sport 02s. Its a much newer tire (indys are almost 10 years old and the contis are like 2 years old) and the contis have a tire warranty. So i get the next set half off because i only get 12k miles in my tesla on tires.
I'm gonna watch closely because this car is related to mine in an interesting way. Audi stopped producing A4 B7 in 2009 and moved the production line to Spain and made my current car: Seat Exeo - an audi clone that was made until 2013. It's the last VW car to have the legendary 1.8T engine :)
Every higher mileage b8 s4 I’ve seen needed timing chain guides/timing chain. If you don t know when it was done you ought to do em in my opinion even tho you’ll need to pull the engine
Mixing your photography skills with your automotive work really makes your content shine. Keep this series going!
Man don't stop please, don't stop making your beautiful content.
He said ton of videos are coming. He is not stopping at all.
Agree, greetings from the Netherlands. Keep up spinning
first vid of his i ever watch and the style and how entertaining the videos are is insane
Real
blinded by your own eyes
I came for the Volvo content and have stayed for all of the new content! Keep them coming.
same. Clicked for the first time because of the volvos, kept watching because of great videos
Yeah he’s just a super chill dude

I own a 6sp 2012 s4, and it is an absolute blast. I also did all the maintenance items you're doing (minus the mounts), and it was an adventure to say the least. I also highly recommend installing a stainless steel clutch line, and ditch the clutch delay valve. 1-2 shifts are a lot smoother, and you are given all the control back to the clutch. Removing the old line is just a pain in the ass. I would also replace the brake lines on each wheel to stainless steel, and bleed the brakes.
With the maintenance, a cold air intake and a stage 1 tune, it's such an amazing drivers car.
Exact same scenario for me here to a T. Most dynamic car you can buy for the money
Ha - I also have a 6MT 2012 S4. It's been superb for the 13 years of ownership. I've done stage 2 GIAC tune, the clutch delay removed. SS clutch line. Sways, Lowered on HR springs with Bilstein B8 Shocks, AWE exhaust, Short shift kit, flat bottom steering wheel, intake..... I'm selling it next year though - it's developed some rust and I'm ready for a change. Doing a 2025 Golf R.
5k is hard to believe. I paid almost 60k for mine new. I wouldn't sell it for less than 20k now. 25k perhaps.
out of all the media ive consumed over the years yours always makes me want to visit the US. Just looks scenic af
Be sure to inspect the crank pulley! Mine delaminated from itself and sent the belt shredding everything on the front end of the motor!
I wish I saw this comment sooner. Mine did it too 😂

Hope to see alot more on this beauty!

I envy people from the US being able to buy 10,20,30 year old cars that don't have a spec of rust on them and every bolt loosens up easily

Can’t wait for episode 2 !!! Keep the good work as usual !
Love this channel. Hope you stick to the longer build series’s! Too many auto channels fall into doing cheap “freak of the week” purchases for the thumbnail then never finishing them off.
Let’s go man, B8 S4 content. Just when I thought the channel couldn’t get any better
Hey dude, I'm from Canada and have a 2016 Audi S5 manual. I have the AWE Touring system, very good and not much drone!
I love the blue color on this Audi Willem . Looking forward to what's next on this car!
This is a cool, relaxed channel. Well done with it!
Didn't know what to expect next, very excited to see how you handle this.
Finally a channel working on different cars and not the same thing. I dig it
i have wanted an s4 in this exact config for many years. best colour
Excited german here !
DUDE! Loving your content!!! I've wanted a 3.0 S4 for quite some time. Things just aren't lining up yet though.
9:40 if god didint want me to have 4 cars he wouldint keep blessing me with these deals 😂
Called it! 3-4 videos ago! Damn In loving this series!
Wow , Why the car buying spree ? Not that I’m complaining I love the videos ☺️🥰😍👍🏻
So happy to see a youtuber have the haircut I had in 1996.
Dude, best car guy content on yt! keeps getting better too
Loving the content from day one
My audi A6 avant has the same engine. It has 207k Miles on it, I'm sure this car with all the maintenance you are doing should be very safe to do a cross country trip. When you take the supercharger off make sure to check your supercharger intercoolers for leaks though.
So happy to see more S4 content on youtube (im a fanboy). Excited for this!
Looks great, love the peelers. I think you'll have a lot of fun with the 3.0T, I love mine.
Must cost a lot to maintain huh???
Honestly, for that model/colour combo even with issues 5k is a bargain! Looks really clean for 110k. Also quick glipse of all your cars/projects would be nice in one of the future videos please👀
Keep it up bro very excited for the Journey
Couldn't get enough of this car as a 16 year old can't believe it's been so long ago.
Fantastic! Another car to see restored and improved!
It´s those details like the matching blue shirt with the new Audi, nice man. Did u manage to recover the VW Tiguan btw? I remember when u posted that roadtrip with Joe haha man time flies!
I can't stress how HYPED I am for this new series
Homie got the shirt it's so sick! Keep up the videos !!
Thank you!! So happy to hear it
I went through 3 sets of firestone indy 500s before i found continental extreme contact sport 02s. Its a much newer tire (indys are almost 10 years old and the contis are like 2 years old) and the contis have a tire warranty. So i get the next set half off because i only get 12k miles in my tesla on tires.
Your videos are so addictive dude, make longer episodes !!! 😍
I'm gonna watch closely because this car is related to mine in an interesting way. Audi stopped producing A4 B7 in 2009 and moved the production line to Spain and made my current car: Seat Exeo - an audi clone that was made until 2013. It's the last VW car to have the legendary 1.8T engine :)
Great score! Can't wait for the next episode!
Love from india brother..... really love your content...and mostly those volvo videos ❤
Your videos rock man. Great effort
i had that car with DSG, which went bad. Manual ? great find great car !!
This kid is mowing through all my dream car projects with incredible speed. 😂
Looking forward to all of them !!
What a beautiful car. I’ve heard so many Audi horror stories - which means lots of material for your channel. Looking forward to it.
😂😂
Subbed for the S4 project. Good luck!
I had an A4 Quattro for 14 years, loved that car, didn't want to give it up.
Let’s go!! 3.0T is the best bang for the buck!
That’s a pre-facelift B8 as well, sooo pretty
"If God didn't want me to have four cars he wouldn't keep blessing me with these deals" Yooo that's great quote.
Nice video, motivates me to do mine its been sitting since the pandemic
Every higher mileage b8 s4 I’ve seen needed timing chain guides/timing chain. If you don t know when it was done you ought to do em in my opinion even tho you’ll need to pull the engine
seen a lot of other video where this seem to be the reaper which finished off the end sort of the blue screen of death for them
2nd best engine in Audi family, only 450hp V8 from RS5 B8 can beat it.
I would love to see you make this car pristine.
Waiting for restoration!
Beautiful car can't wait for next series;) blue T-shirt is essential for next video!
Great video! U bought the best colour on an Audi!
Good luck man. Owning a B8 S4 is not for the weak.
Beautiful cosmetic condition 👍🏼
I believe you have nokian 1s on the car, which are nokians. All weather performance option
