well after my bmw e36 died i decided i should get a car thats awd and a big more powerful... so here I am at the audi family with a 96 2.8 quattro.

look forward to getting to know all of you

 

welcome to the audi family.. and welcome to audi forums.. just 1 thing..

the 96 2.8 is the 12v. which is slow.. and not powerfull... but its still a nice car. get some pics up

 

Welcome to the forums!

What type of e36 did you have? my family had an e30 and e36 previous to our two A4s.

If you haven't yet, definitely check out the newbie guide. It has answers to many common questions:

Unfortunately, not many performance mods for the early A4 V6 engines, but there are a few things you can do.

 

oh, it has more pep than the 4cyl 318 I had haha I decided against the 1.8t because I have no modding in mind, just cosmetic things.

as stated above i had a 318. loved it to death but it was a snowball problem car. This a4 has been very well maintained and a majority of problem parts taken care of. I was reading the newbie guide earlier, thanks though!

 

then you picked the right car

 

Welcome to the forums! Quattro is the way to go.

 

Agreed with jc61990 - you picked the right car. Any A4 looks great, but if you only want cosmetic mods, then the 12v is great because it's a proven workhorse that'll run forever with proper care. You'll love it for sure. Welcome aboard

 

welcome to the vag family. and finally someone whos content with the 12v.
