Hey bro, I just got my A4 B8 1.8 last month! It is a handsome car! Are you having one as well? Want to get to know more A4 B8 owners so that we can sit down and just chat on this beauty!

Info for new owners of A4-B8 engine, they dont use timing belt for B8, it uses timing chain which means u do not need to change them unless its damage/spoiled.
So should cut down maintenance regarding this department.

Hey Bro,

I thought you had mentioned that your brother in law owned a B8? Now you also got one? Haha... is yours the new facelift version?
Yes, we should have a TT sometime - I think there is a Club Audi Malaysia who also organized some TT but the last one was sometime in Mar. Check out their website: http://www.clubaudim...67347d5d6e227af

You know anyone else that owns a B8? Would be good if there is at least 4 to 5 pax.

Saw a facelifted version the other day on the road, the OLED is really striking! But it passed by very fast, did not really have a good look... understand your version hp and torque is higher than mine - really wanted to feel the actual difference!

Yes, Club Audi Malaysia is dormant, nothing much there and no, I did not go for the March one as I only know of it after the TT.

Perhaps we can arrange our own little TT? Just to meet up and admire your new beauty? If ok, then I can PM you and I will also bring my bro along as he also bought a new A4 this year in Mar (not the facelift version.)

Or is there any other A4 Audi owners out there who are interested to meet up for TT?

Where u saw it? So far i have only seen 2, both ibis white. 1 sedan 1 with s line. Yep, hp is slightly higher and torque is now at 320nm. smile.gif Acceleration is Much perkier. The facelift claims better consumption but i would have to verify wit you guys. How far can u guys cover with full tank. So far i managed about 580km but i drive with heavy foot. smile.gif

Actually i find the pre facelift more aggressive looking and facelift looks more refined. So i will be admiring yours as well. smile.gif
Did some comparisons with my bro-in law's ride. Just minor styling diff.

Im good for TT. Let me know when? Perhaps we should have a FB page?

Saw it on the road, somewhere near the flyover in Summit USJ. My full tank for RON 95 is around 520km while for 97 is 590 to 600km. Not as fuel economy as they claim but I guess it is around this fig since the car is also rather heavy & sturdy (comparing to Jap cars).

And I agree with you on the new facelift being more refined and gentleman looking while the previous one is more aggressive and meaner. I reckoned when they are more new ones on the road, then this feeling may change...

Hey man, I have PM you on the TT. Let me know?

Could be me. smile.gif I'm doing 580-600km with RON 95. Trying out RON 97 now. Seems like consumption is a lil better.
Have you done any servicing yet? any problems with ride so far? or we can discuss all this at TT. smile.gif
Just sent u a pm.
