finally got under the hood

Timing belt?
I'm not sure what brand is used but that indicates that a change has been done. Still, at 122k miles you're basically due anyway and one of the golden rules in these cars is, if you don't have proof that it was done in the last 60k miles, do the full timing service. Trying to save money by skipping it is a bad plan - an engine replacement is a lot more costly than a timing job.

It's not that there's a problem per se. All cars with a timing belt require periodic replacement of the belt and associated components. I hope that the car you're looking at has had the belt changed more than once at that mileage and if it was changed before 180k you need to do it.

So now that I got under the hood...it is time to get under the car! I have looked here and the new bit of service is the fuel filter. Reading the posts it looks to be a screw on type filter. I ordered from Amazon (using their handy dandy part finder) and they sent me a barb type filter not a screw on one...(FRAM G3829). My car ( as in sig) is a 2001 a4 quattro 2.8 30v 5 sp silver yummy. What kind of filter do you guys have?

I searched ...really I did. I could not find a post for my year and I do not know what changed from year to year. I found multiple sites that show and list both types for my car...so of course I got the wrong one....see here:
