From Audi 100 to urS4 in a week

Yup. Right click. Properties. Copy. Paste. Add the "img" markers and bingo, there is it is.

Nevermind, I thought you added that to show the real thing

No, just the weird Bremi thing that you found. *IF* I was posting the real thing, I'd post a photo of this V8 coil pack that I am now running on my RS2'd 93 UrS4 sedan.

1st to say i am glad to see another urs4 avant over here

Abouth the coils,i was on stock coils untill i changed for red coils(same like Dave posted) and the car runs much much bether,i think u shud definetly take them,its worth it!

After 20+ years OEM coils will faill or not work properly

Good luck

There are more S2's and RS2's around than UrS4's

My OE ones work fine at the moment, accelerates smoothly with no hesitation, so will probably leave them be while they do their job, it is £280 to swap to TFSI red ones with the wiring ....and they are not hard to change when they do let go.

Thanks, I will need it!

The underside looks pretty good, except the fuel lines. I would make them a priority.
Looks like the turbo has eaten something at some point judging by those marks on the inlet.

MOT is due June or July so that is definitely a must have. I was wondering what went through that turbo, as some of the cuts are pretty deep

Fitted the wheels from my A100 to see how they look, and I think they look SICK!



I was thinking of putting 225/50/18, but won't fit by the looks of it



I think needs a good wash and clean up, as it will be more noticeable when I fit bigger wheels

...I was thinking of putting 225/50/18, but won't fit by the looks of it

The following wheel and tire combinations give you approximately the same diameter as the stock UrS4 225/50/16:

225/50/16 = 24.86 inches in nominal diameter

245/40/17 = 24.72 inches (99.42% of 24.86)

255/35/18 = 25.03 inches (100.67% of 24.86)

So 18"s will work - but because the tire gets very wide, you might have to go to a lower offset wheel, e.g. ET30 or use a spacer to move the wheel (and tire) out and away from the strut tube.

BTW, because of the "35" aspect ratio, stiff springs with 18" = kidney belts are required.

The only reason I wanted 225/50 is because I want some comfort. Bigger tyres will only affect the speedo right?

I am thinking of downgrading to 17", same style alloys but 225/45 or 225/50 tyre. Definitely don't want 16". Also, because I want all season tyres, there are only certain sizes that are available at decent price.

... Bigger tyres will only affect the speedo right?...

The point of my examples above is that it is theoretically (but perhaps not financially) possible to find tires that fit 17" and 18" diameter wheels and do not significantly affect the speedometer. Some people say up to 3% out is acceptable.

e.g. 245/45/17 = 25.68" diameter = 103.3% of the 225/50/16 24.86" diameter.

I understand that, at this point I am trying to balance looks with comfort and cost. Just had a look at 225/50/17 so that would improve looks without ruining comfort, and all season tyres go for about £70-80 per tyre. And the difference in height isn't that bad either.

225/50/17 = 25.86" diameter, 104% of 225/50/16 24.86" diameter.

Too much out IMO.

I run 215/55/16 winters to gain a bit of road clearance (stock winters would be 205/55/16) and the resulting diameter, 25.31", is 101.8% of 24.86"

But hey, go for it, just remember that your speedo is underreading your actual speed = some rish of a speeding ticket even if you are thinking you're at the limit, i.e. "100" = 104 kph.

Thats what i toth untill i upgradet coils

I usually have GPS and go by that on speed anyways.

I will see how it goes with finances, don't want to spend money on something that works and realise I can't buy something that doesn't work

[hunker7]

225/45/18 also would work fine, 4.6% difference and also would fit ok.
