I recently bought a 99.5 2.8 ATQ. I bought it with 78K miles and it now has 95K. I have replaced the lower front control arms as the uppers had already been done, I have changed the oil every 3,500 but with conventional oil as that is what the previous owner was running, should I still switch over to sythetic?

I have had the coolant sensor replaced as well as the fuel level sending unit. Everything on the car works and I have no check engine light.

I realize the car is overdue for a timing belt change so that will be asap. My question is what else should I do. I figure alot of stuff I can do myself and some stuff I will have one our tech's do. It would be great if you guys could help me make a list of stuff they need to check, replace, upgrade, whatever. I sound **** but this car needs to last me quite a while as we just bought my wife a brand new car and I simply dont want two car payments. So whatever it cost to make sure my Audi is perfect is ok with me.

changed brake fluid?
change tranny fluid?
stuff like that.

Thanks in advance

 

You got it.

Timing belt water pump and associated stuff. Front cam seals at the same time.
Air filter, spark plugs, swap out all fuids, gear oil, brake fluid,
Grease the slider for the sunroof with white lithium grease.

Whatever you do make sure you use the right fluids.
