Default Bosch oil filter

Will I be alright using a Bosch oil filter if I am running Mobil 1 full synthetic oil? Where can I get a new valve cover for my engine, I have a leaking one and I cant find one online, and I may need a new throttle body

1) sure
2) You probably need a valve cover gasket set. They're widely available. Try ECS tuning
3? Why?

my rpm's are around 1400 at idle... I just replaced my broken oil dipstick and installed a K&N air filter... Mechanic believes I might have the wrong throttle body on my car and that it may be causing the high rpms.

Get a new mechanic.... honestly, take it to another shop that knows Audis. It could be as simple as a throttle adjustment.

thats pretty sad that after all that liquor and bad spelling (b/c of the liquor) you still know there is no F***ing way you could have the *wrong* throttle body!!!!!!!!!!!

prolly needs adjusted, i think there is a DIY

My mechanic specializes in Audi and VW... He said the throttle body looks bigger than other onew he has seen, and my cruise control arm doesnt line up with the **** on the throttle body.. I dunno i'll search DIY for throttle adjusment
