Bought an Audi, tips welcome
hey guys
Well i just went out and bought a 98' A4 1.8T with 100k on it
cosmetically the car is ok, the paint needs some serious wax
but i was more sold on the car for the mechanics. The previous owner
replaced the timing belt and water pump, brakes including rotors, full tune up.
And this was all done within 8k of the odometer
So basically i can beat on the car without fear of it going out
anytime in the near future.
There has been modifications that also caught my eye such as
S4 Stock Suspension
RS4 Grille
1-pc headlights off a newer Audi (don't know which, told an S4)
Xenon 6k HID system (don't know the brand or if its audi or not)
Neuspeed Chip
Exhaust
Well i think i need more follow up on finding out which of these is true
Such as the S4 Suspension..how can i tell?
And the Chip, how do i go about finding that out myself rather than words?
Also the HID system, what would make it an audi system or an aftermarket add on?
And Where can i get interior parts, i think i need to order a new complete center column
Thanks
Steve

well as for the suspension maybe if you can get part #'s off of it this would help for sure the S4 suspension is definetly stiffer if you have drivin other A4's you would be able to tell the difference
for the chip the best thing to do is get a boost gauge the Neuspped one is probly the weakest chip out of all of the chips out there I think they at least hit about 15psi as stock programing will only run about 7 or 8 psi
for the HIDs again some kind of #'s off this would be needed to determine this
for the OEM parts where are you from maybe I can help you out with this as I work in parts for a Audi dealer
