hey guys.. i have a question, i test drove today s4 2009/12 which when i was checking on options via VIN number, if it has sport diff it says it has audi sport vectoring diff, but when u look in the MMI and try to adjust audi drive select.. there is also sport diff with steering stiffnes.. the whole deal.. so does it have sport diff ???

vin is WAUZZZ8K1AA079145 first registered 12/2009 it has b/o , red black napa leather, heated seats, audi drive select.. 76000km , and its for 28k eur so looks like a good deal

The car probably is full ADS.

Full ADS:
Dynamic Steering System
Adaptive Suspension Damping System
Audi Drive Select Controls (Auto, comfort, Dynamic)
Variable Throttle Response (Normal, Sport)
Variable Gear-Shifting (Normal, Sport)
Rear Differential

ADS Lite:
Rear Differential
Audi Drive Select Controls (Auto, Comfort, Dynamic)
Variable Electromechanical Steering Control (Normal, Sport)
Variable Throttle Response (Normal, Sport)
Variable Gear-Shifting (Normal, Sport)

premek798

it has dynamic, auto, comfort option on all including sport diff, and steering, engine/gearbox , suspension

So it must of full ADS, because the normal sport diff option does not have the suspension adjustment setting in the MMI.

FWIW the VIN doesn't really contain option information. Also the VIN you indicated seems incorrect. (Unless you deliberately modified it ..in which case you should just drop the last 6 digits or perhaps are outside the US.)
Based on the VIN you provided:
WAUZZZ8K1AAxxxxxx
W = Germany
AU = Audi
Z = Series (Should be F,H,K, or M for Prem+ S-Tronic, Manual, Prestige S-Tronic, Manual in US)
Z = Engine (Should be G for 333HP 3.0T in US)
Z = Restraint system (Should be A or B if it has rear side airbags in US)
8K = A4 Model (don't worry that includes the S4
1 = check digit
A = 2010 Model Year
A = Built in Ingolstadt Germany
xxxxxx = Serial Number

The OP is outside of US, since he mentioned that the car is 28K Euro.

You can do some mods on the S4 such as pulley, ecu, exhaust to bump the horsepower to around 420, which is comparable to the M3. M3 is a great car, but IMO it's not a daily driver and all weather car.

thanks , and how much it cost to get it to around 400??? and from what i read it looks like this s4 b8 has more than claimed 333hp but around 350 stock, when you put modes like flashed ecu.....does it affect reliability ? any blown engines so far?.. i mean when u put around 100k miles plus ....because when it is daily driver.. you will put lots of miles...
