I may call the dealer and have a chat, wierd your 13 is on it but her 14 isn't. I've been trying to get her to tune it, and now it's like 500 bucks it's a no brainer to me. I do have a well tuned S6 so I am a little biased

Weird, that did that job on my allroad like a year ago I think. Just checked and nothing coming up on my vin now.

Oh and do the APR Stage 1, it’s great.

**liv2ski** · 05-15-2021, 01:03 PM

BMS, damn!!! that APR Stage 1 looks awesome for $500. I am never one to red line the car. I wonder if it stresses the engine out with normal shifts between 4000 & 4500 rpm? If no, maybe an A4 Allroad is in my future?

Where they get really fun is when you do the e85 apr tunes. Corn is amazing in those 2.0Ts

I posted about it when I did a bunch of other refresh work when I went out of warranty. My Audi Indy is APR and Audi certified and he showed me that even if I were in warranty the Stage 1 does not void it. It doesn’t stress the engine it just tunes it to what it is normally capable of. The gains are very noticeable.

Out of the wagon game, dealer offered $21.5k+ for my Alltrack S. Made my money back and couldn’t say no. In a Tiggy now.

Maybe just diverts water from splashing into the door well or window?

Good bet. Must be an option, a little extra above the existing lip. Matches the trim too. Option or aftermarket even

I bet, with peak torque coming in at 2500. Looks like a great tune for drivability.

I’m not clear that the e85 tune is available for the 2013. That model year seems to be a bit of a weird in-between year that doesn’t track cleanly with the regular a4.

**japanada** · 05-16-2021, 10:27 AM

Ahh gotcha. Guess that was updated for 14 and on

Not really sure. I know e85 isn’t an option stock.

E85 isn’t generally available in my area anyways, so it’s mostly moot, but I’ll ask the APR guy when I get it done; maybe he’ll know?

I picture myself ambling through the Connecticut countryside on an expectant spring morning, hovering weightlessly above the hum of my daytons, bespoke falconry set stowed behind me and a crisp gimlet awaiting me at my destination. The three speed transmission affords effortless poise as I sink into the sangria houndstooth, lighting another Merit and taking a cool earthy draw. Wood paneling, at every internal vantage, lulls me into memories of my Grandfather's smokehouse. He was an AMC Eagle man, and so am I.

Holy shit, that's beautiful.

Where did we go wrong as a society that we left behind such a refined way of life?
