i just bought a 98 audi 2.8 q with 100,000 miles on it. i love the car drives great quattro is awesome in the rain and making sharp turns. has a little extra power to play with. wondering if any modifactions are available for the 2.8?? i also had a question about the timing belt. i was told it is a good idea to change it at 100,000 miles is this true because i don't want to ruin my car and im about to have it changed by my mechanic for $500

Thanks
Mike

The timing definitely should have been done by this mileage (most are done before 90K). Your $500 price is very good; it typically runs more thn twice that!

Search the archives on mods. The 2.8 has limitations. There aren't many mods available without dipping deep into your wallet.

Good luck.

 

Thanks im not really sure if it was ever done because i bought the car used and my mechanic told me if i bought it with 99,000 miles the owner who sold it porobaly didnt want to spend the money to change the timing belt. But i think im going to have it done next week.

thanks again
Mike
