question to the Audi faithful:
Cabin air filter change for '07 Audi A6: I love to do these myself, but I didn't have the tool to unscrew the box. What type of tool does it take. it looks like a pentagon shaped screw head. I want to buy it at the home depo!

My Audi A4 was so good to me.
Its modded with an upgraded turbo(i installed a k04) and still trucking along 70k+ miles without any issues. At least thats what the guy who bought it from me said.
ah memories.

Yep S4 blades.
Blows my mind how pricey the new A4 have gotten though. Mine in 04 was around $31k loaded (33k sticker) for a 1.8t.
Now you can get a 2.0t for around 40k! Thats nuts.

Hmmm, I haven't reached that point yet, (we have different cars anyways) but a quick search over at Audizine lead me to this...

Fahrvergnügen'd
I put my VMR V710s on my S4 on Thursday.
Hoping to get at least half a full Zaino session in tomorrow. Probably means just claying and a Z2 ... Have to wait for another weekend to do the Z2-Z6-Z5-Z6-Z2 combo.

Yea i got super lucky with those. Some no-name member offered a group buy on these. So i took a risk and joined. Only a handful got them.
Not sure if anyone was able to get them after that GB was over. Fit and finish of them were pretty damn good too.
Good call, i really like those!

Naw, went with the 1.8t when i was shopping.
Everyone kept telling me how easy it was to make it fast.
That wasnt the case, it was easy to make it faster... but not FAST.
2.0t i hear is making some great numbers though.

^True.
For know I'll keep it to bolt ons... when it is out of warranty, I'll look at upgrading the turbo.
BTW, my wheels will be powder coated tomorrow. Should be done by Saturday!

Why is the rear of your car sitting so much lower than front? It's understandeable that the rear wheel arch is lower than the front, but it doesn't look very stock...

Anywho, my brother's car...he doesn't like it so much though, keeps asking me if I can get rid of it for him or if he can trade with me for my GTI, but I declined..If his car was stick it would be another story, but naaaaah...
His car: S-Line Package, Titanium Package, Premium, Nav, Xenon's, just about every option you can put on the 2008 A4 at the time.

Yes, they fit. Good point, I'll ask if they can paint the cap to match... If not I could try finding those caps.

I wanted a titanium, but this car has everything I wanted (except navigation and titanium package) I figured I could mod it to my liking. Plus I've been looking for a car for almost a year, cause I'm picky.

I've been tossing around the idea of an S4 for a little bit now. I don't really know much about Audi's, but from what I heard the 05' S4 with the 4.2L V8 is fairly reliable, it was the older models with the TT engines that experienced most of the problems and gave the company a bad rep. Anyways, I found this one for sale locally:
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=260782770&dealer_id=56898132&c ar_year=2005&doors=&systime=&listingCounter=0&mode l=S4&adModel=S4&pager.offset=25&search_lang=en&sty le_flag=1&start_year=2005&keywordsfyc=&keywordsfyc =&keywordsrep=&keywordsrep=&highlightFirstMakeMode l=&search_type=both&distance=200&min_price=&drive= &rdm=1240413203534&marketZipError=false&advanced=& fuel=&listingPriority=20&keywords_display=&end_yea r=2006&showZipError=n&make2=&certified=&engine=&ad BodyStyle=&page_location=findacar::ispsearchform&b ody_code=0&transmission=&first_record=26&default_s ort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&address=20906&color=&so rt_type=priceDESC&adMake=AUDI&max_price=&awsp=fals e&adClassSeries=&seller_type=b&make=AUDI&num_recor ds=25&cardist=24>
Same color combo I wanted (except I hate woodgrain with PASSION, but i'm sure there are aftermarket aluminum/CF trim pieces available) I figure I can get them down to about 19-20 OTD with a trade-in, as they would probably have better luck selling my TL than this beast of a car in VA.
Thoughts? I'm gonna go look at it tomorrow, weather is supposed to be nice. The only thing that slighty scares me off is insurance but I doubt they would classify an AWD, auto in the same area as a M3 or something...

Nice to see that there are quite a few Audi owners here. Here is mine, 06 A4 2.0T quattro 6MT.
Some old pics:
And this was from the Redline Time Attack at Buttonwillow last month.
