Audi parts reviews

I have these on my TDI for about 1 year now. I like them They didn't affect my MPG as I still get 41 MPG and the road noise is minimal. I too live in the Seattle region and have made multiple trip to Vegas and Salt Lake and the tires held up well. Glad I did, I feel that I have confidant cornering and good braking abilities with low road noise.

My last car was an A4 with AMB engine and the recommended timing belt change interval according to maintenance booklet was at 110K, while at the local dealer they were trying to persuade everyone to change it at 80K. I did one myself at 104K and it was just the right time as I noticed it started to stretch.

Also ordered Hawk HPS Brake Pads for all 4 corners as well as some needed new Rotors for the rear.

Front and Rear RedStuff Performance Brake Pad Set Will post before and after pictures once installed.

I'm running the EBC yellowstuff, FWIW. Any opinions/suggestions/information would be appreciated!

I have Akebono pads on my '13 allroad ------ probably a 95% reduction in brake dust compare to the OEM pads. The Akebono's have been great.

I ran Falkens on my old A4. They did everything I asked of them (wet, dry, power slides ), for not much money

I plan on running 235/45R17 Michelin Alpin PA4 on an OEM set of Audi wheels for the winter setup.

I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.

I did a full rebuild of a B5 A4 and got the Meyle engine/tranny mounts. All went well until I got to the point of fastening everything down. One of the bolt holes in the right tranny mount just didn't take - If I remember correctly it stripped just while I was threading it in with a socket wrench.
