OEM Audi Brake pads

I took the liberty of swapping my A4 brakes into S4 brakes, all for 600 dollars. The brakes should response much better, stronger, and use much less pedal force. Your brakes when the engine is off should be REALLY hard if properly bled.

Pros: stronger response, less pedal force

HITACHI Ignition coil

Did this conversion on my 2001 Audi A4 with a standalone. I ran it with stock (3ms) dwell and up to 5ms dwell and didnt notice any difference. I was running Hitatchi coils before and would notice slight bumps in idle. Now all I hear is smooth butter at idle.

Pros: smooth butter at idle
Cons: no noticeable difference

Pros: running better

OEM Audi Thermostat
AudiMick
  • Overheating:
Rating 5.0

I had a 96 and have done that job twice, make sure replace the thermostat otherwise it's a do-over several months later because you tried to save $20. Been there etc!! Change the belt, tensioner, water pump and thermostat.

Cons: do-over several months later

OEM Audi Oil pump
REPOMAN
  • Oil warning light:
Rating 3.0

I would add the chain driven oil pump to the Con side. The internal chain is more susceptible to failure and has higher maintenance cost. these motors are notorious for the chain guilds wearing out clogging the oil pump pickup and starving the head, turbo and motor of oil pressure causing an expensive repair. ask anyone you know who owns one. My friend with a 1.8T Audi has had this happen twice in 2 years. another thing to consider is internal timing chain = higher maintenance cost.

Cons: susceptible to failure, higher maintenance
