Heya!@@yvez2925 So far, we've replaced Valve cover gaskets, solonoid gaskets, and rear pads. I just did my oil change as well (218,660) and its been chugging along no problem! Its now hit 218,660 miles. I definitely recommend using total techniks 15 second rule, which by putting the car in the second position with the key, you let oil pressure build in the timing chain tensioners. When you do so, it results in a noticeably smoother start up (so no timing chain slap), and is something good to help with the cars health long term. I also wrapped one of the flex pipes to fix a mild drone from it being worn out, and solved that (stock exhaust btw, does not drone at all, and sounds great). Im really not sure how, but with the solonoid gaskets and valve cover gaskets done, it barely leaks oil, so its just burning it a little at this point. On high mileage commutes like Ive done, its a fantastic vehicle. plenty of power midrange to pass in 6th. Cannot recommend this model enough, super underrated!

1 set of high flow resonators help with the drone. My problem is cant seem to keep the flex pipe from burning holes through them. Have had mine since 29k. Slammed on bilstein coilovers, rs4 track sway bars, full metal endlinks and rs4 alignment setup. Handles amazing. Upgrading exhaust also helped a bit in quarter mile times. If ppl were wondering.

It's a great car! However, If you are looking to do a lot of engine mods I would not suggest this car. The aftermarket support is minimal. While they are awesome in stock form it's an important thing to know. After minor mods the car is even better but not the best platform to go crazy with mods on. Some exhaust, suspension, and other minor exterior mods are about as far as you can go here. With that said the 3.2 V6 from Audi is wonderful as long as it was taken care of. At 133k miles all I've done is gaskets like the oil filter housing gasket and I did replace the High Pressure Fuel Pump. I've owned the car for 5 years and put about 50k miles on it. Go drive one!

Hey! Great question. It depends on the issues and service history of the 3.2. I will warn you that the 4.2 has timing chain issues and is much more costly of an engine to own. If it has had all of it's service done and chain replaced it could be worth it but fuel economy is also significantly worse. The 3.2 is close in terms of overall speed and the lighter front end results in slightly better turn-in on corners I imagine. -Austin
