2005 Audi Cars Gallery
All S4s have gained a more powerful internal combustion engine, larger uprated brakes, firmer suspension, and larger roadwheels have always been amongst the many upgrades the S4 receives over its mainstream 100 and A4 siblings. In markets where the even higher-performance Audi RS4 is not offered, the S4 is the top-of-the-line trim of the A4 family.
Audi Quattro Club Cars
Residing in Northern California, Matt has plenty of experience with VWs and Audis.”I started working as a sales rep for a VW dealer,” he began. “Then I worked at Emotion Garage for 18 months, where people began trusting me with their cars and manufacturers would even call me for advice. After that I moved to another shop that fixed up Porsches and Lamborghinis.”
During his stint in the industry, Matt built a ‘00 Jetta VR6. “I did everything; a Votex kit, S4 wheels, racing seats and more,” he explained. “I still couldn’t keep up with all my friends, though, and it had too many maintenance problems.” He couldn’t keep up because he’s a founding member of club NoFuknJoke (NFJ) featured in et 4/07. Most of their cars are modified from head-to-toe in hardcore Euro-themes, so Matt decided to start anew with something distinctive.
Audi Vin Lookup 2010
It is designed to decode Audi VINs as per the global ISO 3779 standard.
It does NOT fully decode VINs for cars exported to the USA.
As always - the quality of results are proportional to any feedback I receive, so if you spot a clanger then please don't hesitate to Email me !
LATEST UPDATE - The VIN decoder has been completely rewritten and it works again - thanks entirely to Andy Burton (aka 'Sonic' on the S2 Forum) for his efforts there.
A fantastic effort that is much appreciated. In time, I have further updated the VIN decoder Javascript with support for some additional vehicles with unusual VINs such as the RS2. I could still use some help with ongoing confusion on the many 80/90 variants and the special VIN for Quattro GMBH vehicles.
