Just bought a 96 A4 2.8 5spd. silver/ blk leather. It has 98,000 miles and I really love driving this car. Just curious on anything I should look out for like timing belt?? or suspension stuff that tends to need replacing. The A/C is leaking somewhere too and I am guessing it might be the evap core. Any input to this is greatly apprectiated. my name is brent by the way and hope to gain some knowledge of this car from some of you with experience.

 

any help appreciated.

 

Hey welcome to the forum. The timing belt needs changed around 60-80k miles. That is an expensive job. Around 400-700 at an independant mechanic.

Control arms and tie rods tend to go bad on B5's so look out for squeaks and play in the joints.

 

thnx alot
