Hey all

2000 A4 1.8T Quattro 73K Automatic it was a while since I did a tune up on the car. The timing belt was done at 64K & oil change at every 3 thousand miles, so I try to take good care of the engine, but I want to do a tune up soon. I was wondering what do I need to buy in terms of parts, and what do I need to change or replace anything that has to do with the tune up which will help the car run better. So help with all the advices I appreciate the gestrur

 

An 80k service on your vehicle would include spark plugs, pollen filter, and air filter. Seems like im forgetting something, but i cant think of it at this moment.

 

fuel filter, wires.

 

www.ecstuning.com has Mahle and Mann filters and NGK spark plugs.

 

fuel filter at 80k? hmm... maybe it's time for me to do the same...

wires? you mean plug wires?

I'm at 73k now. When should I consider replacing my timing belt? Also, is this something I can likly figure out how to do on my own? I would really like to know how, but if it's going to be a total pain or dangerous (to the engine) then I'd consider having it done. Thoughts?

 

yeah you need a TB change ASAP - it would be an 8 out of 10 for difficult - just because of everything you have to take off to get at it. If your good with cars - go for it.

Fuel filter is supposed to be a lifelong part according to Audi but if you have bad gas it would funk that all up - it fairly difficult to do but their are DIY's available for everything here

 

okay... I have the belt, not the chain, right? 2002 A4 1.8

 

we don't have chains

 

that's what I thought... I read something somewhere that made me think perhaps some models do, but yeah... I now see that we don't. Thanks!
