Hi All
Got my A3 last week and thought i would get on the forum and show some pics
its a 2000 1.8T Quattro
Mileage is a bit on the steep side (116k) but i got it at a bargain price
Mods on it are
BMC Enclosed Filter
Forge DV
Lowered
Alloys
Now it does have a full service history but to be on the safe side i want to get some precautionary maintenance done.
It is booked in on Thursday with a specialist in Derby for a service and im not sure exactly what to get done on it apart from the obligatory oil change.
I have made a shortlist of the following items and was wondering what else could i renew for piece of mind.
Haldex oil and filter
Gearbox and diff oil
Fuel filter
Plugs (which ones and where from?)
Coolant
From the list above i have only purchased the haldex oil and filter so far, can anyone recommend me makes and models for the other items?
Also could someone tell me whether it is safe to get it remapped with such high mileage? And does someone know of a decent aftermarket exhaust system or should i go custom?
I think thats plenty for a newbie post
Cheers Sam
