So im proud to say that I just picked up my first audi! A4 B5 with only 61k miles on it. Im looking to do my first mod soon. What was the first thing you did to your b5 when you got yours? Im thinking either get a nice set of coil overs or get the APR chip.
Just looking for some suggestions and opinions on what to do first.

 

Our 1st mod was ecodes headlights (factory headlights were just in bad shape with being very unclear and dim it seemed)

 

Read the stickies there's a big list.

 

Um search the forums/read the faq's. It is broke down perfectly there.

That being said you just went two totally different directions. Speed v looks(handling).

First thing I would do is maintenance. Then a boost gauge.

Also would be nice to know year and motor. I'm guessing since you said chip that you have a turbo car? Do you have a boost gauge? Do you have vag com?


If it's available to you, might do race springs and a tune after making sure car is in order. You'll also need an upgraded diverter valve if your uping boost.


Again search/faq's will answer all your questions

 

Thanks man. sorry Im new to the forums. Its an 01 1.8t quattro with only 61k miles on it. As far as maintenance goes theres nothing that really needs done...yet at least.

 

Being an 01 12 yrs after the fact your tb/wp/thermo/ tensioners/and other 12 yr old parts are old. Fix that then follow what I said

 

x2

That tbelt im sure isnt done. 60,000 isn't too many miles, but 12 is too many years. those components in there are pretty old and they need to be changed. this should be number one priority for you. otherwise, you are talking many dollars to fix. get that tbelt changed now and i promise you wont regret it. if you dont, you will.

 

yup

and actually, I say 60k is due for a belt change anyway but maybe that is just me

 

 

alright good looks! Ive been looking at timing belts and found a few. Any suggestions on whether to just get the oem or a brand name?
