I am looking to potentially purchase a low mileage 2004 Audi

the replacement tensioners are still oem

they're just an updated part.

and they are less prone to breaking, but it doesnt entirely reduce the chance of them shitting themselves again at 60k minimum

do it, i used to have a b6 s4. loved it, but it was 11 years old and a lot of plastics and seals were literally destroying themselves. in the time i owned it i overhauled the suspension, replaced the radiator and expansion tank, and the oil filter housing seal which requires the intake manifold to be taken out.

it was a bit of a nightmare i must admit but in the end the car was fucking awesome and low profile.

If the engine shits itself, swap it with an RS4 block. More power and no more worries about the chains/tensioners going bad.

It seems that the B5 and B6 S4s are more popular that the RS4s. Why is this? Mainly cost?

RS4s are much rarer and more expensive.
Also there never was a B6 RS4, although the B7 is mechanically the same car as the B6.

What is the best manual for the B6 S4? It doesn't appear that Bentley has that model covered.

Nevermind, it looks like they do have it, but it's DVD only.

This puzzles me.

How much would you guys pay for a clean 2004 S4 with 40k miles?

Nothing, cause the faggot is asking $15k undoubtedly

Torrent ElsaWin. Has all the factory info. And not in a batshit retarded format like BMW's ISTA.
