A practical family sedan or commuter car that turns into an open-road speedster for weekend fun, the 2001 Audi S4 has the extra power and punch for those who feel restricted by the A4. A 2.7-liter biturbo V6 engine hits 250-hp, matched with a standard 6-speed manual or optional 5-speed Tiptronic. Low-end torque starts around 1850 RPMs. Sports-tuned suspension, shocks, and brakes, and performance tires distinguish the S4 from its sister sedan.
New to the S4 lineup in 2001 is an S4 Avant, a 5-door wagon that adds extra cargo space (63.7 cu-ft when rear seats are folded). It features the same engine as the sedan. Now even parents can have a bit of fun on the road and still feel good about buying a practical utilitarian family car. The trunk features a removeable cargo net and retractable cover. Roof rails adorn the top for extra storage options. With the quattro AWD, the S4 sedan always easily beat most SUVs for handling and all-weather performance, and now the Avant can compete on storage capacity.
Also new in 2001 is standard Electronic Stability Program in both trims. Though truly sporty in performance, its styling still screams sophistication. An understated exterior hides a luxurious interior with lots of standard features. Packages add on heated seats, sunroof, navigation system, and remote garage opener.
2001 S4 performance and handling tops the list of highlights for owners. The agile manueverability, tight cornering, precise steering, and low-end torque give drivers chills as they open the S4 up. Turbo lag is greatly reduced in these new S4s, so acceleration is quick. The ride is smooth, yet energetic. They also like the comfortable seats and interior and how solid the car feels. The 2001 S4 receives complaints about the small backseat, limited headroom, and button-busy dash. Incredible fuel consumption is a result of enjoying the turbo power, and some owners are disappointed with the S4's reliability.
I have a 01 audi s4 that has been sitting for about 2 years. I replaced the battery and accidentally put $20 of unleaded gas in it. When I jump it It wont start it just keeps cranking. Is there anything that I need to know or does anybody have any suggestions on how to get it started?
how can you remove the turbos without removing the engine ? every place says you have to remove the engine to remove the turbos, how can you remove them without taking the engine out ?? on a 2001 Audi S4 2.7T Manual
I’m looking at buying an ‘01 S4 with over 200k miles on it. The second timing belt service has been done, but I’m wondering about other reliability concerns or expensive repairs that these need around this mileage.
I own a 2001 b5s4 Audi. My low oil pressure light came on and after hooking up a mechanical gauge I am reading about 12psi at hot idle. With rpm it will climb 10-15 psi per 1000rpm as it should and is only really low at idle. Levels are fine, tried adding slightly thicker oil. Dropped the oil pan and pickup was clean but did find some milky shiny oil at the bottom of the pan. Car does not knock and I have been driving it since, prob 300 miles, with no weird sounds and car performs as it should. Is there a chance this could be a worn out pump? (There was a fair amount of extra gasket on the pain when I took it off) or am I just making up excuses for bad rod or main bearings?
I replaced my relay a month ago thought I solved the problem now my fuel pump does not hum
