- Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Downshift. We are finally back to posting B9 Audi S4 content after replacing a faulty turbo. In short, the 2018 S4 was in the shop for around 3 weeks and as it turns out the waste gate was loose which required the entire turbo to be removed. We are happy to report that everything went well and we finally have the car back. We can't wait to continue the mods and create more content! We hope you enjoy!
Here at Daily Downshift we're committed to uploading the latest car news, vehicle comparisons and entertaining automotive vlogs.

This is the reason why there has been little Audi content but we're excited to continue the mod journey. If anybody has experienced this issue or something similar definitely let us know!
Nicely done Queensway Audi!
Dude I had the SAME problem with my B9 S5 Sportback with waiting on parts. I wasn't having turbo issues, but my Oil Filter Housing lower main seal completely went out and pissed 3 liters of oil out of the system. I had the car sat in the shop lot for 2 weeks just waiting on an oil filter housing, there was THREE in the entire US and they were spoken for.
I have an S5 SB and had a subtle rattling issue coming from under the dash area. It turned out to be the soundaktor unit. It was replaced and haven’t heard the rattle since.
Will keep an eye on it though. A blown turbo is a scary problem.
I just got a 2019 b9 s4 with 41k miles about two weeks ago and have noticed a weird vibrating kinda noise on acceleration between 2-3k rpm’s wondering if that means my turbo is going bad I still have the warranty tho so hoping I can get it looked at by Audi has your car had any issues since you commented this?
@@liamsquire6371 No issues since then. That was two years ago now at this point.
@@liamsquire6371 did you find the issue? I've noticed the exact same thing from mjne
@@rohinhans7819 went to audi and it turned out my sound actuator went out which is the stupid little box they put in ur car to pump fake engine noise into the cabin for a sportier drive and it was $1200 to fix it hasn't been an issue since but i find it super annoying it's even a thing to begin with as with my tune and custom exhaust i don't need any fake noises to hear my car screaming above 4k rpms
👌
Pretty sure I have the same issue, did it sound like a piece of paper stuck on a fan but almost metal on metal
Glad it didn’t do more damage
internal wastegate valve problem does NOT mean "turbo failure" and you have NO REASON AT ALL to change your entire turbo, even if that valve has kind of "permanent no bolt" fixing on his lever.
Or.. if you intend to modify further in the future, switch directly to a tubular mainfold and healthyer EXTERNAL wastegate and serious turbo which will drop significantly you EGT.
Wished you gotten the noise on video, it’s actually good that they are replacing a turbo, because the turbo will “i hope” be analyzed by Audi to find out of the failure can happen on more of our turbo’s. I looked up the recalls as my 18’ has none :3
I want a 2019 s4 I've never had a turbo or supercharged car just v8s
I agree it was a good thing (phew!) to get it diagnosed & fixed beforehand.... otoh, you'd have replaced all of the hardware itself in the build, right? Short of ingesting some metal into the motor.... not saying it's impossible w/ a bad wg, just "I think probably not". Right or no? At least you have a new, super-low mile OEM part to toss up for sale!
Why does it sound like you had a BOV when it was supposedly all stock except for intake?
Glad the car was fix ! I have the same problem hearing Subtle rattling issue, But my car is now 63k I wonder if the dealer willing to fix it or I have to look for a shop to replace the whole turbo ?
Depends on your dealer, don't know till you ask
Happend to my GTI ..new turbo from Germany..stage 2 now , love it but i will be dabbing with S4 or New Z next year..who knows..excited for you man 🔥💯
I got the S4 lol
Thanks for sharing! Very good options...the new Z is going to be wild!
@@DailyDownshift hope that price wont be wild lol . Still leaning more so S4 , way more practical 😅
@@Racin_Bran probably wild but I've always hated infiniti and nissan so I would never lol
@@just_a5.7 you dont like the VQ trumpets ? Lol
What code error did you get?
His mask got to a point he might aswell take it off lol
quick question, i think i have that same rattling sound on my audi 18' b9 s4 but i already tuned it and put an intake, do you think they could still fix it or did that void my warranty? it has 40k miles
I wouldn't worry about the intake. My advice, put it back to the stock tune and bring it in to Audi. With that said, confirm your warranty period hasn't ran out
You’re lucky it happened before the tune!
I think I have the exact same issue and the Audi dealership acknowledges that the sound is there, but because everything is performing the way it should and there are no codes, they are telling me Audi won’t pay any more to diagnose the issue… even though I told them it was likely the wastegate. They will only move forward if there are performance issues or a code.
If you still have warranty and the sound is evident then it should be changed
@@DailyDownshift I agree they should but they refuse. They say I could pay out of my pocket to dig deeper, but Audi won’t pay for more diagnostics. It is a 2019 Certified pre-owned with 30,000 miles.
@@CoachDream2Reality Try another dealership
*nkuch?*
No charge is the best! Will your future mods void the warranty?
Agreed! Unfortunately the tune will
You are supposed to slowly break in a new turbo
Did they say anything about your cold air intake when you brought it in? Didn’t void warranty, right?
Dealer said it was no problem. They had actually come across our videos before
I’m scared to build the s4 I don’t wanna blow my turbo😭
It's an easy DIY to replace the turbo on there, in my opinion. And lots of upgrades available already
omg sort your focus out
here I am buying an audi at a bmw dealership lol
*how is this not Audi's fault ???, under 40Km and to have a problem like this, talk about quality lol... , should have bought a Lexus*
Things do happen and the car was purchased used so you never know. Haven't heard of anybody having the same issue which is positive
@
Slickpete83 I've driven my B9 S4 like I stole it, never had 1 single issue. Blown turbos are not a common problem, quite rare actually, I had a C63 previously and cracked the intake manifold twice, to give some perspective.
Can happen to ANY car. A family member of mine bought a brand new Nissan and the engine blew after 12,000KM, and she drives like a grandma too, never ever revved it past probably 4,000 at most, always serviced when needed. These things happen
@@awhs5435 *Nissans are garbage once renault took over ,this is not the same Nissans as in the 1990's . Nissan is like the Dodge of America* hahaha...
Ya bro I have literally every single mod performance wise done to my b9 s4 besides a bigger turbo, and am running E85. Literally not a single problem ever and I have 27k miles on the car.
@@simplexbane2687 *27k miles is still new, every car is still good at 27k miles, hopefully you don't have any problems in the future*
