    2013 Audi A4 6-Speed MANUAL Premium Plus

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    2013 Audi A4 Premium Plus with rare 6 Speed Manual Transmission. I have owned the car since 2015 and purchased the car from Audi as a certified pre-owned vehicle. Car has been meticulously maintained by myself, Audi, and a quality independent German car specialist. Oil has always been changed at half the recommended Audi interval. Car has aftermarket Borbet wheels installed. Original Audi wheels also included. Tires have 10k miles on them.

    Car has received the following upgrades: RS4 style bumper and grille, APR Stage 1 tune, AWE cat-back dual exhaust (sounds stock when cruising and performance sound when accelerating above half throttle), carbon fiber rear diffuser, turbo muffler delete, R8 red coil packs, performance air filter in stock air box, and tinted windows. Performance upgrades were done in a manner to not take away from the car's luxury feel during everyday driving but increase the sportiness when desired.

    I unlocked the following features with the Audi VAGCOM tool: Gage sweep on startup, increased LED daytime running light brightness, daytime running light stay on during turn signal operation, interior ambient lighting, lap timer/turbo oil temperature gage, and window drop using key fob. Any of these changes can be returned to stock if buyer requests. This is a really good car in great condition. I am only selling it because I just purchased a larger family vehicle. I have all the records and logs since 2015 and will answer any questions about the vehicle.

    Piston rings? No, there is no issue with the engine that required any type of overhaul.

    Okay. I've been on the hunt for one of these (a bit more stock though) but a lot of sellers aren't really pricing these honestly. All of these B8.5s are going to need piston rings and timing chains. 5-8K of work but a lot of people are trying to drop these cars on unsuspecting buyers for mid-teens when they know the 2.0T is bomb ready to blow a hole out of your wallet. I just want people to be informed. It's better for both the buyer and the seller.

    I am not aware of issues with piston rings and the 2.0. I do know the timing chain should be done by 100k miles.

    What I can say is the car has no indication of any mechanical issues and has never needed oil to be added between oil changes. The car is very clean and has been well maintained. I am open to reasonable offers.

    The B8.5 is not as afflicted by failing pisont rings. I recently sold one with 168k that lost less than 1/2 qt over 5k. And it might have been leaking from the turbo.

    My friends B8.5 with 72k didn't burn a drop of oil.

    Timing chains at this point are a maintenance item, which can be done for $1500. It's not a seller's responsibility to price a car for future maintenance.

    Stop sensationalizing something in someone else's for sale post.
