- My Audi S4 B9 is never mentioned enough on the channel and being my daily driver - it doesn't get much love. So, here is all the reasons why I may never sell it!
Keep an eye out for new videos on the channel as there is one coming later this month which will be awesome!

Really like the videos. Currently looking at changing my Black Edition A6 Avant as no longer do the miles. The S4 Avant is firmly on the radar as the practicality aspect is still required. (2 young children and camping etc!)
Find your videos really useful but also fun! Keep up the great work!
Hi Jonathan, thanks for watching! I love the A6, the C7 onwards still looks very modern for cars that are up to a decade old! The S4 is definitely worth looking at - it’s a nice motorway cruiser when I’m with the missus and a great everyday B roader here in cornwall - is there cars that are more fun to drive? Definitely - but how many cars have such an all round ownership experience? Not many 😀
Owned my B9 S4 for just over a year now with many factory options and LOVE it. I've come from RS3 8P's, and Facelift RS3 8V's etc and the S4 is a great inbetweener & all rounder. With a sports cat downpipe, intercooler and air intake followed by a stage 1 remap, I think you'll fall in love with it all over again. Absolutely no reason to change it for an RS4 B9 imo when you can do the above and achieve similar power for minimal money.
I'd suggest doing little things to the interior as well to make it feel fresh and new again such as change the gear shifter to alcantara / perforated leather. Retrim the steering wheel etc, all these little things add up and make a huge difference.
Love the channel though, I think you'll go far, keep it up 👍
Hi Rob, thanks for watching! Glad to see owners of S4 B9s popping up and helping out - yes it’s a great all rounder! The potential of the engine is great and in time it’ll be fettled with. Love the idea of alcantara shifter and steering wheel - but I know what I’m like - it’ll be covered in crap in no time!
But, maybe doing all these upgrades here and there will make me love it all over again as you said - then I’ll be more careful with it!
i love my b9 s4 in mythos,just had it detailed like yours and ceramic too.stage 1 running over 400.epic car in every way.love it
Having it detailed has made it look brand new, in love all over again!
🤘🏻 yo! I do hope your getting it detailed and ceramic coated as its always dirty 😂😩 💪🏻 keep it up. look at all us s4 b9 owners on here, I feel a road trip coming on!
👀👀 - is all I’m saying to that 😂
I like the idea of a roadtrip 😁
Ive had my b9 s4 for about 6 months, did a stage 1 tune, intake and downpipe. Also got some adjustable lowering springs . Couldnt love it anymore!
Sounds great Spence, I bet all the above made it feel great!
Great video mate!!
Cheers Stef 💪🏻
I'm looking to buy an S4 early next year, would prefer the petrol version, but I've heard stories about failures in the cam followers. So more likely that a newer diesel will be on my list, immense torque. I'm moving up from an A4 quattro tdi sport which now has 240 brake.
The rocker arm issues are definitely over-egged. The EA839 is used in loads of cars so the stories a minute compared to the number on the road 👍🏻
Wish they had this in the states.. but still loving my SQ5
Crazy! At least you have the same engine, be it in the SQ5 instead. You don’t get the C32 AMG Estates either do you? Thinking they might rise in value when they can be imported? 🤔
Ive had a saloon b9 s4 for 16 months now and i really recommend taking it over to DMS Automotive. I’m now at 450bhp and 610 Nm with just an ECU tune- totally changed the car with zero issues. I now have a dog and worry that if I go for the avant s4 I’ll feel a little let down being in the same cabin so… am looking at the c43 with the upgraded AMG performance exhaust….?
Nice numbers there. Yes I guess buying a new ride but having same cabin wood feel a bit pointless but I prefer estate cars so to me that would make up for it. C43 would be nice, Mercedes interiors are top notch!
get a stage1 and a few mods and you would fall in love again, the s4/s5 b9 is a great platform
Definitely!
I have an a4 avant 45 sline. Love it. S4 Is the sweet spot.
245bhp? Still very quick to 60 I imagine, without the S price tag! Probably the smarter choice tbh 😂
Couldn’t agree more . A very very difficult car to replace! RS4 gorgeous but not worth the extra pennies 😀
Like I want a different car but the extra money isn’t going to buy a much better car - so it seems a bit pointless!
The tuning capabilities that I’ve seen give me hope for RS4 power without anywhere near the expense. Thanks for watching Andrew 😁
Had my S4 B9 for two years now and have to say it is a brilliant allrounder and understated, the sound is epic and although I would love an RS4 the difference in cost is too much for the extra performance, especially when a stage one on the S4 will get you well over 400ps for about £500. BARGAIN.
Yes that’s the conclusion I’ve come to as well, an extra £20k to get into the cheapest RS4 doesn’t make sense to me. Yes I’m looking forward to the potential that can be unlocked.
Cheers Phil 👍🏻
This guy needs his own tv show 🤟🏻
Appreciate the support mate, I must admit being able to focus solely on the talking and not the videography would be lovely 😂
Not a lot out there that’ll match the practicality, speed and grip so I say keep it !!
As much as I’d like an RS6 (especially the C8) - im not sure dropping another £70k on it would make much sense 😅
Keep it. An RS is excessive for driving on the road and you will lose that "sleeper" vibe that you talked about. The S4 is already fast, comfortable and looks great. If you want more power just do a stage 1 tune and keep driving it until the mileage gets too high. I have a B8.5 S4 Sedan which I love but I'm picking up a B9 S4 Avant in a few weeks.
I agree, no need to go for the RS. Looking forward to tweaking the car throughout my ownership. Good luck with picking up the B9!
B10 RS avant is the only next move
Good shout
great!
Thanks mate!
I've owned mine for 2yrs now. I wouldn't believe the 450bhp claims for a stage 1. Unicorn developments or 034 motorsports don't even get that on stage 1. Biggest difference for me was fitting a stiffer rear Arb, really transformed the front end, which I think is the worst bit of the car.
Yes the car can roll a fair bit in the corners - I’ll definitely look into ARB for the rear.
Great car, Is the rocker arm problem a common thing?
I think rocker arm issues are blown out of proportion, the engine has been used in loads more cars than just the S4. However, it would be an expensive driveway ornament if it did go wrong!
@@JAYPCARSrocker in mine went, dealer changed all of them, people should change them before they break as while it’s expensive- it’s way dealer after they break, also the pcv needs to be upgraded to the newer version, as well as the thermostat and the water pump- once these are done along with a pipe at the front the engine - the engine and gearbox combo is a stunner. Just my opinion and experience to date 3 years in.
@@cp1cp180 What pipe at the front of the engine ? Turbo intake ?
I have the s5 b9 sportback launch edition. Rs5 wheels, 450 bp remap, dethromed with almost every option. I’ve had it for 2 years…not selling either. It’s a Porsche engine / single turbo rs5 engine. Nothing comes close for the price
How did the remap make the car feel? Being the S5 I bet it feels nice and concise whereas the S4 Avant feels quite floaty on the road.
But for practicality, as with your S5, nothing comes close within the price range!
@@JAYPCARS good point. I have damping control as an option….whilst it’ is good (vs standard) the car did still lean in bends in dynamic mode. I had MSS adjustable lowering springs fitted by Evolve. It transforms the car! The remap stage 1 was done by DMS in Southampton. I have also test driven a rs5 sportback but tbh the performance difference is minimal vs mine (after the remap). The performance is unbelievable at times esp with kick down - being better now than my previous car 640d (which had a lot of torque)
Interesting to know the RS didn’t feel much different. I’m sure with some lowering mine would feel more grounded. For the short trips I do it’s not much of an issue though really - but performance fade seems to be, it’ll be time so sort an intercooler soon. Think I’ll be going with the Wagner.
Even standard the kickdown surprises me if I’ve been driving calmly!
This is a beaut 😍
Reckon I should keep it then? 👀
Would you switch for an Audi rs 3?
No I wouldn’t, I like the practicality of the Avant. Also, feel the S4 is more of a classy car over the RS3.
@@JAYPCARS I totally understand that. I live in the states and would love to own the Avant. I’m currently deciding between the rs 3 saloon and s4. Any reliability concerns with your s4? Thanks bro
@@murlocmerc Only thing to go wrong in nearly 20k miles I've had it was the brake servo sensor which was an easy fix.
It has been great so far, touch wood!
@@murlocmercjust get a R8 V10
The S5 b9 oh wait thats what i have
Nice stuff 👌🏻
261HP for the a4 45 S Line premium
Nice 👌🏻
R u related to Schmee?
No, what makes you think that? 😂
Do people want to race you all the time? I got rid of my Golf R cause I got fed up with folk nearly killing themselves trying to race me.
I get a lot of people pushing me to race, no matter the speed I’m driving at. Mainly young lads thinking they’re cool because they’re driving at the limit of their capabilities to keep up with me driving sensibly. It’s quite annoying when I’ve got family in the car.
