Hello all. Just bought a 2010 A4 Quattro with the Premium+. I am absolutely in love with this car and would like any opinions with what I should do with it. Keep it stock? Or add any Mods? Have a $1000 left over from the purchase so I would love to maybe invest it in the car. One mod I would like to get is that Bluetooth adapter, but aside from that I dont know what other mods to get. Performance or Aesthetics are what im looking for. Any ideas are welcome.

 

Also forgot to mention I was looking into the K&N Air Intake. Are they worth it? Do they harm the engine at all?

 

I don't know about the 2.0T, but the 2.7T forum advised against the intake as the stock unit was well designed. A K&N filter is ok,, but don't expect noticeable improved power or gas mileage.


The biggest bang for the buck is a "chip" or flash -- APR or GIAC. It will boost the hp by 40-50. You should also upgrade the throttle body boot (TBB) and diverter valve (DV).


I hate to be a stick in the mud, but a 5yo car (mileage unknown) could probably use a brake fluid flush, coolant flush, and differential flush. It's all PM which is a lot cheaper than repairs. You could also be getting close to needing rotors and brakes. There, I just took care of your spare $1k.

 

Lol, there is no throttle body boot issue anymore.... The ones on the 2.0 are actually overkill now. And the diverter valve on new 2.0's were designed to mimic the forge piston type ones... So The stock ones now functions and have the reliability of the aftermarket.

A chip is cool but be careful cause the stock turbos are fragile.
