Think I got a good B8 today, sport diff etc

[Ian_C]

I got through a few coil packs after I bought mine, one the day I picked it up. As you say heat brings the symptom out.

A healthy car will have a lot more than 333ps, some are 350+. Whether that is seriously fast depends on what you are used to driving!

I read recently on another forum some bloke got 370 on the rollers stock!

That was on the Surrey Rolling Road "heart breaker" rollers, we won't trust that lol

I have a 333 BHp Volvo AWD which was then pushed it to 400+ later on with me custom tuning it (dyno'd the 330), and this is so much faster, sports diff, I had it flat out around a sweeping bend, normally I'd be pulling off by then with brown pants but I just nailed it and it went toward 157 mph.


perhaps it's the supercharger over turbo.


Yes heat and a crack in a coil pack will cause it to misfire, still could be an injector I guess or just needing plugs, I don't think it's been driven fast for a while, first owner certainly did, wen't though a set of tyres sharpish, lol. Second owner, at a guess bought a saloon then got a dog, saloon went.

Sounds like it's tuned. Stage 1 could be 410-440ish depending on where it was done.

I was ondering that but VMAX is sill there, odd for a tuner not to 0xFF that out or up it. What's the stock RPM limiter on a man?

Anyone logged stock load/maf values?

[GrahamS4]

6900ish

[jp-berwick]

Hmm maybe a a tune but it's got FASH, sure it was 7100 I'll check this ECU, bosch ones have a overev feature on x seconds pid controlled. Thanks. Really we need log values to determine stock versus tuned

Here's the 'damage' it's not huge but annoying

[jp-berwick]

seems like there is a different limiter for dynamic mode, over-speed cuts injection immediately which could explain the intermittent misfire code as it fits (if it's tuned and someone doesn't know what a PID controller is), it does set a bit though but unsure if Vagcom would read that. I'll let them sort it as mentioned, interesting nevertheless.

Still a bargain!
Make sure the take the parking sensors out when they paint it.My pet hate when parking sensor rubber seals are painted body colour

Absolutely, I'm over the moon! Thanks for the tip, hadn't considered.

Then after hearing a v8 S5 today I'm like,yeah RS4 all day long.That noise

Sweet, never had a v8 but love a vag v6 noise

Ive had B7 Rs4 and currently have a B8 S4 and a B8 RS4

If you can afford the B8 RS4 and arent a "manual" nut, do it. It is the complete car imo

As the B7 and B8 S4 are similar money if you want a special occasion motor, get the B7 but if you want a daily, the B8 is plenty quick, has massive tuning potential and is just a better... newer... Overall package than the B7

Imo and I may be alone, but that is my honest opinion
