How many KM do you have on your 2000 B5 odometer?

[B5.S4.Eddy]

Hey guys I'm getting a great deal on a 2000 B5 s4, basically buying it off family for $8k. However, it has 200 000 on the odo... I currently own a 2003 vw 1.8t so know quiete a bit about german engines, their problems, the electrical problems etc, and have a registered version of vag com to diagnose anything that comes up. My question is, do any of you guys have 240 000 + on the odo? If so, how does she drive? Also, how often do you do oil changes on the s4? What are the reccomended intervals? What is your ave city/highway/mixed mpg? Or better yet L/100km I guess first few things to change would be: timing belt/pump etc coils spark plugs ECT from stock to green (?)((correct me on this if wrong)) Throw in a KnN air filter. swap oil. Car drives "OK", but not what i expected from a 250hp bi-turbo motor. It heistates and feels a lil under powered. Right now the 1.8t is stage 2 with a fmic and is very light compared to the s4, so this may have something to do with my "butt dyno" giving me faulse readings...

I wouldn't say $8's is a great deal for a high km s4 needing work.
For comparison I paid $7000 for a 2000 s4 with 190k with all service
upto date.

I bought my 2000 S4 for $10,000 BUT it had upgraded brakes, front end intercooler, upgraded exhaust system, chipped, blowoff valve, new rubber, short throw shifter, adjustable suspension, ETC .... with only 150,000Km.

I agree with buds saying that $8000 is not a good deal.

To check how many litres you get per 100Km all you have to do is check your cluster ... it shows a display and all you have to do it scan through that.
I change my oil every 4000Km and all I do is highway drive. When you say the car runs "OK" I can olny assume that there is some engine knocking or something in that region. I would change the oil every 3000Km if you want to get the most out of the engine.

bov's on a b5 s4? does this not foul 02 sensors leading to an expensive bill?

Hubby paid $9500 for my 2000 S4 and it had 165000 kms on it and in great shape with one original owner.

Great to hear it, made me envy.

paid 20,000 for mint condition for my s4 with only 55,000 kms - Nogaro Blue

[jonnymaljar]

i paid $8k when it has 240k on it. i have 261k now and done nothing but oil changes and have no problems and the body is mint. You're getting a deal.

I paid 9K for my 2000 S4 with 193,000. It had a new T-belt, brakes ect. mostly stock.. Have 230K now and runs like a dream... with the exception of a new coolant overflow tank ($55 bucks from audi) and a little DIY (15 minutes). I also changed the BOV's with a pair from an Audi TT... another 30 minute investment and all is good!
