What he said above ^ and you might want to do the usual like fresh spark plugs, air filter, etc... Make sure the brake pads have decent thickness left in them.

First I strongly recommand Vag-com your car first if you havn't done so, it will tell you which part is not working right or even is about to fail.

also check:
-any leaks (engine/tranny/steering leak)
-spark plugs (still looking good?)
-timing belt done yet? (very important one!)
-air filter, cabin filter (clean or very dirty)
-all brakes/rotors
-recommand to do a fuel filter replacement.
-the cleaniness/level of Steering Fluid (since your milage is high, it is important to keep track with power steering's health)

gl!

Hey Thanks for the tips. I was wondering, what is Vag-com? Can you please explain?
