Can We Save This 200k Mile Audi A4?? | Upgrade or Unload
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2023
- Kasey has an Audi B7A4 that he's done quite a few modifications to over the years and admits to some routine maintenance neglect. He's thinking of selling the car but has sentimental attachment. Will our upgrades be enough to bring new life to this quattro platform and get Kasey to reconsider?
In this session of Upgrade or Unload we diagnose a B7A4 for check engine lights and do a general inspection on the vehicle. Upgrades include ECS front mount intercooler, ECS Coil-overs, ECS Street Shield, Meyle control arms & tie rods, INA tensioner pulley, INA wheel hubs, Hawk Performance Pads & rotors, Liquimoly oil change, Hengst oil filter change, and we topped it off with a RaceChip tune.

Chris saying those magic sentences, "Bob's your uncle" and "That's not going anywhere" are two surefire ways to know this is quality work that'll outlast Jay's ownership.
Super happy to see some new B7 content out
Me too! Seeing as I own one, and really don't see that much.
New content bro where its at 😭😭
Same! I've been making videos about modifying my B7 A4 and repair tutorials as I need them.
Repairing/Upgrading > Buying a new one all day!
Manual transmission swap would be the bees knees. Unless he doesn't know how to drive a stick shift. Paint matching would finish this off as well.
Eh, maybe one day I’ll do the swap. I’ve never been to super care for a stick in the car. Luckily I do know how to drive stick. Who knows, maybe one day - but if so it’ll be the last thing I do to this car.
It wouldn’t really be worth the hassle
Just buy a manual a4 it will change your life
@@djneedles000 I currently own a B9 S4. But for manual duties, we have a 2020 Subaru STI. But I've owned multiple Audi A4/S4 with the manual 5 and 6 speed transmissions.
Yessss ECS we want more content like these for the people that don’t have all them new cars - Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦
Nice video. I worked on my daughters B7 2.0t on and off for the last year. Loves this platform.
Im glad to watch u guys working on audi. Thank u so much for this content
very cool video, B7 content. Sad this is the less desirable version (non-sline, auto and grey int.), but with some work and a swap, this would be a solid modded car !
Hey thanks for uploading this! I have a 2005.5 A4 Quattro 6mt that I enjoyed between 2018 and 2022. In that time I slowly got the car to stage 3 with a frankenturbo f23l hybrid turbo, golf r/ s3 injectors, integrated engineering hpfp internals, turbosmart kompact dv and much more. The car had a stock drivetrain including the clutch and launched very hard especially with semi sticky tires I had 235 federal 595rs-rr. Car got to about 220k miles and blew the head gasket I believe the fans may not have been working as the temperature started to creep but it was too late by the time I shut it down the car has since been in storage because I just can’t get rid of it but this has given me some much needed inspiration. These are definitely underrated platforms that can make “enough” reliable power and be made to handle like they’re on rails.
10000000% my exact same feelings. I was glad we could give it another lease on life!
Yes,keep it and find another motor for it,if you get rid of it, you'll regret it later like I'm going to do to mine that I'm about to buy.08 B7 Avant, dolphin grey, titanium, s-line version,manual trans,157k for $9500-a lot of money but I think worth it in the end.
@@JJ-kw8fo let me know if you want any of the parts I listed. I think I have an APR stage 1 tuned ecu laying around somehere
Mega bonus points for the FunkFashion sticker! Props to Noah and his crew! Legends of the 904 car scene!
I miss the style driven show! The car has been all over the US haha!
Make a HFC + DP kit for the tip trans pleaseee!
Hopefully the Balance Shaft/Oil Pump unit lasted 200k miles, those are a pain to replace
07 2.0T chillin at 256K
Gulf Coast MS represent! BSL here! No more VW's for me but I've had a MK4 Jetta, MK4 Passat V6 4Motion and a MK5 Rabbit 2-door.
I was just on the coast too! Miss that place!
Casey repping that Slammedenuff Flannel 🤘
You always spell my name wrong 😂😂😂
@@cstlmedia ah shoot
Hey that’s my boy Kasey’s A4🤘🤘
Thank you for watching! ❤
I wouldnt be comfortable if my 2006 audi a3 2.0 engine"s light turned off. I like knowing my engine light still works
You should come to Canada, my B7 could use some work!
For the MAF plug, get a repin tool. 1/10 the work of resplicing a new connector. I redid all of my ignition coil connections with junkyard plugs off various VW/audi cars (looked until i found 4 good ones). Splicing sucks, the connectors are designed to be dissasembled
Ahh excellent call on this - thanks! This is actually what our in-house wiring guy did for us off camera, but we forgot to follow up about it!
what wide body kit does he have on it i want to me my b7 avant look more aggressive like this
That valve cover gasket wasnt as bad as it could have been, I did mine at 150k and it and turned to plastic. I had to use a pick tool to get all the bits out as it just kept snapping. Your one just peeled out nicely.
That was the magic of editing ha ha. Kasey spent a lot of time cleaning that all off in the parts washer!
@@ecstuning Yeah I can imagine. Im just glad my valve cover came off with all the gasket still in the cover. I was amazed at how brittle it was. It was 1000 pieces when I got it all out, haha.
Thats a clapper
owned 4 b7s. there's a lot of fail points especially at that milage the timing chain and tensioner is one, The timing belt and tensioner are another, Intake manifold develop a ton of leaks over the plenty of heat cycles of 200k. oil cooler housing warp. rear coolant flange warps. the stock cat is extremely restrictive aswell. i hope these were already maintenanced before this video because if they weren't you just put some shiny stickers on a turd. also what happened to the downpipe?
I need to know where to get that passenger cup holder/tray 😂 plz lmk
I such a sexy car. I love when people make cars and more rally style stuff.
How can I get my B8 inspection like this
Where’s your shop at I need u to fix my b7 A4
nice b7 and all but why do this to a automictic
Not the coil overs esc coil overs are so bouncy in the front might as well be a trampoline
I wish I still had my B7 A4 .. It made it to 268,xxx until an Audi SUV driver crashed into me and I hit a cement wall.. My insurance totaled it, now I have a VERY boring A3 ..
odd that ECS tuning would install a race chip into a vehicle knowing the possible repercussions of these types of tunes.......
I’m trying to unload my B7 A4 with a CVT. It’s a nightmare.
It’s sad to see B7s in need of work lol
do not splice that connecter buy the pig tail connector piece an use the proper tool to push the end of the wires out
Yes! We had our in-house wiring guy do this for us off camera and forgot to follow up!
unload as quick as possible!
Has timing chain been done?
Yes, done prior to our surgery here!
@@ecstuning Shoulda checked it then, based on the quality of the other work.
Get that wheelcover off
Get a de pin the maf and get a new sensor easy pezy just get a quality de pinning set
Yes! We had our in-house wiring guy do this for us off camera and forgot to follow up!
@@ecstuning awesome ! Nothing beats new connectors on a older vw/audi
Homie needs to be getting around town on razor scooter
Rip Audi stylish design
I dont wanna know how much money you spent on getting this fixed
27:00 why is ECS advertising these scam chips? People can get a tune for the same amount of money from a workshop.
no timing chain or belt check? not even an intake valve clean? bruh
Timing is about to get redone here shortly. I didn’t need ECS team to worry about it! ❤
I’ll give you 1500 for that high mileage beauty
This shit missile should not be upgraded. Get that kid som driving lessons and show him how to do maintenance on this thing. He should be driving a Toyota or a Honda.
Yeah that maint was some appliance-level ownership.
Race chip is trash get the JB4 is anything
I need this for my E90 sedan!! how do I join @ecstuning
Hey @ecs interesting idea since I started a build the same way 6 months ago you want to come over and help me finish my A5 with 250K miles since you’re taking my idea? @aboveandbeyond100k just wondering?
