First job, engine flush, fresh oil and filter, then change again on a more regular basis than Audi tell you to!

^^ That, as well as-

Check PVC system for splits. Boost pipes for leaks, more so by the DV.

I'm gonna guess at the k03 on the SE  :undecided:
'95 Mystic blue Mk3 2.0l 8v - gone
'93 2.0l 16v Corrado - gone (and missed)
'02 A4 Quattro sport - gone
'91 Black 2.1 16v Corrado -gone
'91 Tornado red Mk2

I thought it would be K03 on the A4 (se is still std audi but with little extras) and a tuned up map on the S4 still running the K03 then they ramped everything up for the RS4 and had K04.

as said but dont use engine flush, think he just meant drop the oil

also replace the oil pickup pipe, cheap part thats often forgotten.

engine code should be on the rear of the cam cover, 52 i would have thought it would be k03s

the s4 is a 2.7 twin turbo so not the same car, rs4 is a 4.2 v8 twin turbo i think (not sure for that year) the s3 uses 2x k03s, dunno what rs4 uses.

but 52 reg should have k03s and remap to over 200bhp, but there heavy on the fuel, more than a mk4

So is this where the K03s comes from to tune up the mk4?
