Hi guys, just purchased a used 2012 A4 1.8T 8 speed CVT, and was wondering if you had any beginner mods that you would recommend? The mods can be superficial or performance-based, any pointers would be greatly appreciated

 

Claybar and wax it, then enjoy it. The OOOO reputation for CVTs is not good and you should have checked here before buying. I would not do any performance mods that would risk the drivetrain. Good luck.
