Hello, and welcome to Audiforums.

I have a 1.8T and I don't think theres anything notable that you should be aware of for this specific year.. Just make sure you use "synthetic" oil and change it on time, to avoid engine sludge. Other than that, take care of it and will take care of you... Its like any other good reliable car! But yeah, nice year and miles... you'll enjoy it, I know I do mine!

Get an exhaust, some rims, painted lowers, tint.. and your set!

Welcome! Have the same year with a 1.8T. Love mine as well. Unsure of any issues with the 3.0 though. Agree with AMZE...take care of it and you should have a reliable car for many years. Enjoy!

welcome. you wont have to worry bout sludge as much as us 1.8T guys since you have the 3.0 but synthetic oil every 5k is still a VERY good idea. check out this link https://www.audiforums.com/m_177186/tm.htm

Welcome to the Boards! In addition to all the other replies, contact your local Audi dealership and find out if your VIN lists under the defective fuel pump recall. For the 03' models, Audi sent recall notifications to consumers identified by VIN number. You can also check the maintenance records(if provided) to see if there any recall actions/repairs performed on you car. Aside the fuel pump recall, the 3.0 is rock solid. I've had mine now for 4 years and I'm still enjoying it as if I just drove it off the car lot.

Welcome! I have the same year 1.8T. You'll love the car. If you have any questions about your car, do a search on this forum first. Most likely, your questions have already been answered. If not, feel free to post. There's tons of ppl on here that are very knowledgeable about A4's.
