Reviews of spare parts for Audi A4
I ran them on my b7 A4 for about 10,000 miles without an issues before totaling it and my fathers b8 s4 has had no issues but his are still fairly new.
An old Audi belt motor goes 240k and the belt is still holding. I had a 2013 A4 2.0 that stretched the ~~belt~~ chain* at 70k and the valves kissed the pistons.
Front Big Brake Kit, 17z front brake calipers, 330mm x 32mm rotors, EBC redstuff pads
250,000 KM and still on the original alternator ( 1998 Audi A4 . Bosch 120 Amp Alternator ) . Had to replace a couple of bearings but that's it.
I had red stuff on my old A4. Had no complaints.
B6 S4 Xenon headlights (Valeo)
I've been running slotted and cross-drilled rotors on my A4 for 5 years. I've never had one crack, but I don't autocross. For my latest set I looked for drilled, but not slotted, rotors because my last set buffeted at high-speed braking, which feels shaky and unstable, and I read that was because of the slots.
I'll repeat the recommendation for the General Arctic Altimax and currently have them on my 2012 Golf. My previous Audi A4 had Blizzaks in the winter, they handled poorly (soft sidewalls) and wore very quickly but stuck well in our wet snow.
I had the hp2 calipers on my A4 and hated them. The ATE calipers are much better and the pads are cheaper.
