Y'all might call me a heretic for running Valvoline restore and protect 5w30 in my 4.0T.
Any oil that meets API SP and is the right viscosity grade more than likely is at least as good as the oils specified by the OEMs.
Definitely not the right one, as has been said. Liqui Moly TopTec 0-30 is what I use in my ‘24 Audi RS3
Pads and tyres affect braking the most, the actual discs themselves matter much less. Just get some higher tier metallic brake pads and you should be good. I would go for Brembo Extra pads personally.
Thank you this helped a lot.... I think the toughest part I had to deal with was those little clips getting them to snap back in. I was lucky that it was only the belt which I was able to get on Amazon for about $40
If you want something better for your car, maybe you can try Liqui Moly(personal favorite).
I used the FEBI chain and it's been solid and a good value compared to the overpriced vag chain. No problems on my A5 for thousands of miles.
Carbon cleaning, water pump replacement, possibly turbo replacement, timing chain, and dsg service are large ones over 100k miles. Those are issues I've had with my a3 with the 2.0t with over 138k miles.
My 07 a8l is at 177k at 100k had to walnut blast then again at 170k. 2 ac valves went and last week an oil pump went.
My audi B5 will absolutely refuse to use anything but OEM for the alternator
The timing chain on my sister's Audi is about to write the vehicle off financially
