So I've owned my modified Audi A4 b7 2.0T for nearly 2 years now and I thought it was about time that I filmed a proper review on it and talked about my thoughts as to why I think its a bargain in 2021!
I hope you enjoy the video!

Had mine for over 6 years now. Great car. Went REVO tune, lowered it, carbonio intake, catch can from ECS and a bunch of smaller things. Awesome daily. Only issue for me is that the cam follower must be religiously checked, and it burns oil.
Edit: EBC red pads for brakes and slotted rotors made a nice difference
Nice man! Good to hear that it’s not just me who thinks these are great cars 😊🙌🏼 thanks for taking the time to watch my content and leave a comment.
One of the best looking car b7 I got one but 2.0 tdi engine
I have that same car 2007 model sline 220hp. I bought it week ago. Is it normal to feel little vibration on my foot when i upshift or downshift? Car is 150 000km rode. I dont know am i too precise or something but im worried man.
When I'm bored I look at new cars, on my mind now is an A4 Allroad (all we have here in the U.S.) and turning it from a grampa wagon into a hot wagon. Then I go drive my 2005 B7 Quattro (auto) Sedan with 155k miles and it makes those expensive new car thoughts go away. Non-S line but I basically have the suspension, it's on Koni adaptable shocks which are amazing, low enough to still be practical especially in a lot of snow in winter (thing handles snow and ice covered mountain rounds on all season tires like a champ). I think the only thing that has failed on mine was the original diverter valve about 10 years ago.
This year and I should hopefully finally be able to give it a nice fancy Stage 1, which will absolutely transform with the low-mid power (don't really wring it out much). I always look at the tuning sites and make $10k wish lists; but just an intake, coils/plugs (I hear you should go with better coils and colder plus), and tune (thinking 034) should be amazing without going crazy.
Do the preventative MX and it's a tank, should go to 250k no problem. Be funny if it outlasts my buddies now second bone stock Mazda 3 (although he drives everywhere like it's a race...wonder why his tranny blew out?). If I do buy something else I'd love to be able to keep this to mount winter tires on.
Nice video.Getting same one but quattro with stage 1 remap. Hopefully can smash a trackday in it.
Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏼 sounds good man, strip out the rear seats and spare wheel/toolkit and get some bucket seats, you’ll be amazed by how much weight that will save!
@@Joshkemponcars still in lockdown so yeah gives me enogh time to give it full service and sort some bits out. You ever took it on track ?
Cool man, sounds good! ✌🏻 no, not yet! Hopefully soon through! 😎
I had one of these in Garnett red pearl it looked stunning was quattro special edition. Mods, 3inch turbo back custom exhaust ECS nduction kit and stage one tune. Had it written off in 19 😪😪 now got B7 S4😁
Ah no way, sounds like it was a lovely example! The S4 is a good replacement mind, especially that v8 soundtrack! 🔥
Had it 7 yrs loved it , sounded amazing, but yeah I found a very lowe mileage 45k with full history, and that is just something else, had custom exhaust and APR stage one
I just picked one up about a month ago for £1300, already been remapped to just over 260bhp and I'm in love, don't think £1300 could buy anything better certainly performance wise!
Wow that is cheap! Exactly what I’m saying, it’s a lot of car for the money and especially when it comes to performance 🙌🏼 enjoy and thank you for taking the time to watch my content and leave a comment. 🙏🏼
What torque did you make?
Hi Josh, I've owned the same car for 2 years, non special edition and it has been such a great buy.....I'm curious what mileage you had when you did the revo stage 1 and how your experience has been since, any issues at all?
Hi Jim, good to hear! 👍🏼 I bought the car with about 87k miles and have done over 100k miles now with no issues. It was already mapped when I bought it, personally I think it’s worth every penny as it’s completely transformed the car! Revo are renowned for producing safe mapping for vag cars, still well below the limits of its engine components.
The B7 design is just timeless man. I had one but blew the motor lol. Currently looking for another one but I want all the specs on it.
Agreed, one of the best looking models from Audi, good luck with your search.
i have ine
Why did the motor go on you?
Did you find one? I know a low silver avant mtm tuned. Quattro. Leather. External bov. Exhaust. Inlet. Tune. Suspension. Not long had UK mot test. Really quick on the lanes.
Sounds like a great buy!
From india , kerala . 👏 Great work brother . 👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
Yeah I got my 2008 b7 late last year. Got it for 3500 with a few problems and about 130k miles. Not too bad, it’s got some nasty black rims and we dropped it so mine looks rly aggressive. Previous owner put a new turbo blowoff valve so it sounds rly nice. Got to say for my first car it ain’t a bad deal. Problems were my radio and few body things, a few rust spots we had to deal with and bumper is slightly off on the right. But hey it’s a first car so can’t complain
Good to hear it man, what a great first car! As long as look after them they are pretty solid cars. 😎🙌🏼
I got same car my friend. It has 212000 and going 💪 strong 08 grey blk interior black rims.
Good to hear! 👍🏼 enjoy!
@@dword492 Update. It was my first car and after a year and a half of driving I hit a curb at like 15mph and my suspension is not happy lol. I let it sit for a few months (bad idea I know) and I’ve just now gotten around to fixing it. Control arms are so much fun! I would not recommend hitting anything in this car lol
That’s crazy I also got mine late last year with 126k miles for 3.8k for my first car as well 😂
I've got an Audi a4 2008 b7 1.8T and mines black and the rims are black and I was thinking about making the badges black and the grill like this one. Also maybe putting in a slightly better sounding exhaust as mines currently stock and it's very average. I might also paint the brake calipers red so they will stand out amongst the black. What do you think? I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Cheers
Do it! I used plasti dip to spray my badges, mainly because if the next owners doesn’t like them in black they can simply peel it off. If you want your car to be a bit louder and have more character without drone then I would definitely recommend a resonator delete. I was going to paint the brake callipers too but just didn’t get round to doing it. Yellow looks cool on black cars and grey/silver cars, then red on pretty much everything else.
@@Joshkemponcars yeah no problem i'll have a look into that. It's my first car project so i'm really keen to get into it. Thanks for the advice!
Yellow!
I'm looking at a 2009 A4 2.0 TFSI. I've seen some worrying comments about oil consumption. What are your experiences with it?
Honestly, I can buy oil for dirt cheap, so it isn't that big of a deal to me... I even already found a company that replaces the pistons+piston rings, filters, gaskets etc for 1800 euros (£1500). It's just that, surely, consuming a litre of oil every 1000km (to as low as 300km) can't be good for the engine, exhaust system, turbo, EGR, etc, right? I've yet to ask the seller so I'll definitely do that next time I talk to them.
The B8 is slightly different as the engine was revised. It’s best to just keep an eye on oil consumption and top up when required. My oil consumption was pretty minimal but did increase when my PCV valve went but I already knew the warning signs after reading numerous reviews and articles. My advice would be to do your research on the platform but also thoroughly on the car you are looking to buy to avoid any unwanted issues further down the line. I did a lot of preventative maintenance on my B7 which allowed me to have hassle free motoring for nearly 3 years! 🙌🏼
Great job man, and great video! :D For next driving videos with manual cars, it could be possible to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork please?
Thanks means a lot 🙏🏼 unfortunately, I have now sold the car. Thank you for taking the time to view my content and leave a comment.
@@Joshkemponcars You're welcome! And for others cars if you can? ;)
Sure, I will certainly think about it! 😂🙌🏼
@@Joshkemponcars Great, thank you very much! ;)
Just watched your vid, I purchased a 2007 2.0T Base Quattro from IAA For 500$ + Fee. Had 184,000 run and drive. I got lucky noone else bid but me. I did a ton of work on it and now at 199,000 a year later its a hoot to drive, its bone stock im afraid that if I start modding the Auto trans will grenade.
Thanks for watching! 🙌🏼 that is a bargain, they are great cars as long as you look after them. I don’t blame you! 😂
typically both engine and tranny can handle a bit more power. People have pushed it to 450hp on stock internals, just bigger turbo and boost. 350hp is a safe bet, its what most people recommend and with a good aggressive exhaust they sound great
I just bought a 2006 A4 2.0 2.0TFSI Special edition 220bhp Quattro . Its also my first Audi, Needs some work. Window regulator, Rocker cover leak, upper front arms, rusty exhaust. No service history but I can't complain at £1100 from ebay and 150 k miles on the clock, came from a VW fox.
Awesome, get all the bits sorted and just service it regularly with 5w40 and check out my video regarding preventative maintenance parts.
Just got my first Audi 2.0T a4. Cousin got a new car so I bought him a ps5 in trade for the car. Needs work but I’m loving the car already
Hey bro great car!
Can you tell me is this audi in normal version 2.0 140 hp better than vw passat b6 2.0 140hp?
Thanks, this is the s-line special edition - 220bhp in standard form.
if you are talking about the 2.0 tdi with 140hp in the A4 and the Passat it's literally the same engine. Pick the car that you like better or find it cheaper
Okay, I need help! I currently have an Audi A4 B7 2.0 t and I've done some work to it. Borla exhaust, stage 2 tune, turbo down pipe, etc. I didn't do any suspension work and it is an automatic. It runs great and it pulls hard for what it is. Here's the dilemma though, I recently found an Audi b8 S5 manual for a great price and I'm looking to trade in my A4 to get the s5. I really want to keep the A4 as a beater car, because it is still a great car and it handles great it's still very fun to drive. My other car is a 955 Porsche Cayenne and if I keep the A4, I won't be able to afford the insurance on all the cars😭😭
A manual S5 is a pretty rare thing, personally I would probably return the A4 to stock and then exchange in to get the S5. You might be able to reuse some of the parts on the S5, if not just sell them to further fund the S5.
@@Joshkemponcars wow, very good idea and thank you for that suggestion. Your comment really helped a lot
I like my B7, it kinda needs work tbh. But overall I love it. My first car ever since license. Got it tuned too, now need to repaire it. :D
Maintain them and they will never let you down. Thanks for taking the time to watch my content and leave a comment. 🙏🏼
@@Joshkemponcars Thanks mate! 😎 My plan is to get safe build by 500-600HP in future. :)
Look forward to seeing it! 🙌🏼
regarding the silver wheels idea ... iif anything, i would paint them black . The front grill, and the wheels will blend better in my opinion. Nice car though :)
Cheers but I’ve now sold my car. Thanks for taking the time to watch my content and leave a comment! Means a lot 🙏🏼
@@Joshkemponcars what was the tyre size you had on the audi please
235/40/18 buddy 😊
@@Joshkemponcars cheers
also, where did you get that front spoiler? That looks sick
Just EBay mate, search front lip spoiler Audi A4 b7 and it should come up
How did you install it? Just drill holes through it and stuff?
I used self tap in screws, just offer it up and then fix
@@Joshkemponcars just started it. Works better than expected! Bought the splitter on AliExpress btw, only 20 euros
Ah awesome 😎 enjoy the process, that is a bargain
Where did you buy that Audi sport sticker I live in CA USA

No problem dude! 😎🔥🙌🏼 Appreciate you watching my content and leaving a comment!
Hey, can I ask how many miles it had done when you got it, looking at Quattro version of this with 81,000 dealer wants 6k?
Hey buddy, it had 99k and I paid £3,200. Quattro tend to be more expensive but £6k seems a bit steep
@@Joshkemponcars cheers Josh, great video mate !!!
Cheers buddy! 🙏🏼
recently bought a a4 b7 cabriolet Quattro S-line for a $3850. I am looking to mod it now it should be fun/
Good to hear! 🙌🏼
Now looking at a special edition, 2006, 97k, FSH, Mot history pretty flawless.
They're asking £2.7k.
Anyone know if that sounds like a decent price? Or am I gonna drive four hours to get my pants pulled down?
Good price that, I paid just over £3k when I bought mine a few years ago, it had 89k and full service history.
Hi, iv had the same car for over a year now n been struggling to find the correct performance parts... can you send me a list of the parts you mentioned 🙂
Sure man, where abouts are you based? UK/US

Hi Josh, I wanna buy Audi A4 2.0t tfsi (b7)
208 000 on the clock....the owner wants 80k, what do you think?...
Hi Siyamthanda, Just to be sure, what currency are we talking here?
My brother has one of these 220bhp but it's Quattro. If I didn't need a diesel I would look at getting something like this
Great cars! 🙌🏼
What sot of MPG do you get on average in that with the stage 1 tune?
Anywhere between 25 and 35mpg depending on the mixture of driving. I’m going to be doing a running costs video if you’re interested in what I’ve spent to date on the car and some other inside knowledge things.
That would be awesome yeah. I'm looking at buying one as I think they're great
@@taylorbeynon4402 no problem, good to know. There’s a few common issues on them but other than that they are pretty trouble free and very tuneable and cheap to get hold of.
The fuel consumption is lower now with tune?
I would say slightly higher
Still drives so well even in todays standards 2023
Good car, I have A4 sline 2.0 tfsi 220 cv manual engine BUL, i from Spain. Is good idea reprograme, i think only up 20 horse. Good luck
Awesome, nice to know there is a following in Europe for this car! 🙌🏼 remap is so worth it, it completely wakes these engines up. Thank you for watching my content and leaving a comment

Thanks i got the avant model 2007 s line
Ah cool man, I do like an avant version! 😎👌🏻
My 2007 2.0 Quattro just crossed 136K miles today. It's tuned up to 270hp, (335hp soon). A fun car to drive, but I have to do something about the body roll. An easy car to repair and parts are affordable.
Good to hear Raphael! Agreed, the chassis can be improved a lot! Thanks for taking the time to watch my content and leave a comment. 🙏🏼
look into installing an aftermarket, rear sway bar - 034 motorsport do one which is much stiffer and improve's that ALOT
@@osirisep1237 I am looking into that, but I have to cough out some money for a new hybrid turbo. Thank you!
What exactly have you done to it for the 270?
@@alex_creates9094 Stage 2 tune, High flow CAT, upgraded Intercooler, high flow intake, high pressure fuel pump upgrade. Before doing all of that, make sure all your maintenance is done. Fix all your oil and coolant leaks. Make sure your timing belt was replaced, and your timing chain is not rattling. A carbon cleaning will also do some good.
What common issues do you get with these cars ? I will be buying one soon
Sure, I made 2 videos about that, have a look on my channel.
@@Joshkemponcars thanks
I've recently fallen in love with this car, there's an '05 2.0T near me for under 5k, but i'm worried about reliability. do you think it could safely do a 5 hour drive?
As long as it’s been looked after (full service history), I really wouldn’t worry. I’ve done a 4 hour trip before in mine and the car didn’t miss a beat.
Keep saving up your money. The 2.0 turbo motor becomes reliable from 2013 and foward. This body style looks nice tho
@@theodorecendejas1343 wait what are you talking about? The block is similar to the MK5 Golf GTI and it's reliable. If anything the newer engines found in the B8 are far less reliable.
@@Kofi_Mensahs_BurnerAccount well I own a 2015 A4 SLine. And I have been told that from the 2013 year and up b8.5 don't have the engine oil consumption issue or blow by. Supposedly they have upgraded pistons and piston rings also the pcv valve has been upgraded or revised better said. And I kind of believe it, becuase I actually purchase this car new back in December 2015. Now I have 122k miles and the only 2 issues I ever had was a altenator and that happen a 104k miles. And waterpump at 113k miles. When the altenator gave out I replaced it and also battery, starter motor, and belt and tensioner all at the same time. Other than that it's been solid. Also if it even matter which am sure It does not my car mods are. Injen cold air intake, cts turbo intercooler with charge pipes and diverter valve spacer and the turbo muffler delete, also it a has a integrated engineering intake manifold and integrated engineering stage 1 tune. And my car has been modded and tuned since it had like 50k miles and its been holding up good and its a daily driver also car has been dynod and it put down 253 whp. Car still has full stock exhuast and and turbo. But yeah, I am only speaking from my experience and I apologize if I offended anyone
@@theodorecendejas1343 no worries dude, you have to understand that these cars are old now and many have been abused so it's no wonder they'd have high engine oil consumption.
B6 1.8T Bex Quattro is the one you want pal 👍
Probably even B5 as the B6/7 are quite heavy in comparison.

You’re welcome 😊
Got rid of mine due to tax costs and mpg was brutal.

Under the bonnet, near the suspension mounts if I remember correctly
Thanks mate. I thought it would’ve been on the lower windscreen like most other cars lol
Just bought the special edition , mapped to 260 😜
Ma man! 😎🙌🏼 enjoy buddy! 🤜🏼
Wow, My B7 is the same year and an S-Line as well. Didnt't have the cool stuff that this one did. America doesn't get anything cool 😕
