2003 A6 & 2004 A4

[Grant Lenahan]

Enjoy.

Stay ahed of maint - its cheaper that way.

Pay attention to oil changes on both vehicles - the 2003 has the 3.0 which can suffer premature top end wear if not lubricated "above and beyond? and the 1.8 can sludge if you exceed roughly 5k intervals.

Watch for front suspension wear - they both have lots of short-lived ball joints that are integral with the control arms.

Service the automatic trannies regularly.
