B5 stock s4 shocks

Hi, I replaced the shocks all round on my S4 recently so have the old ones in the garage. The rears I think are ok the fronts are a bit soft but not leaking or knocking. Free to anyone who has a use for them as I just want to get them out of the garage. Will need to pick up. I'm based in the reading...

FOR SALE : Silver B5 S4

I'm putting my S4 up for sale as I really am not getting on with it. I think I'm an M power man at heart ! I bought the car in may of this year with 90K on the clock and have since replaced all the shocks and the MAF just last week. This is an excellent example in the best colour combination of silv...

Whats the benefit of these hybrid turbos ? Are they much cheaper ? Why would this be a good option compared to a K04 for instance ? 275 at the wheels. Thats quite a lot of power. 225 at the wheels translates to about 290 bhp in a 4wd so 275 is pretty good. My BMW makes 275 at the wheels which is int...

Thanks to all who offered help.

It was the MAF so I'll get that sorted.

I'll post up the RR dyno so people have something to compare to if their car is underpowered.

I've just unplugged the MAF. The warning lights appeared on the dash so it was not connected. It seemed almost the same as with it connected. The rolling road measured the fuel ratio and it was 14.4 throughout the entire rev range. I'm in wokingham (berkshire) I think the car must be running in the ...

Re: RE: 204 bhp !!! Need new MAF ?

Very difficult to say without knowing if you've run vagcom checks or not. The problem could very well be the MAF, but then again it could be a whole host of other sensors which have failed. Try running the car with the MAF disconnected to see if it runs better. I've not run the VAG com as I don't o...

204 bhp !!! Need new MAF ?

Just got my car on the dyno and it made a hugely impressive 204 bhp at the flywheel (154 at the wheels)

It was suggested a new MAF would be the solution.

Is this likely and how much would a new MAF cost ?
