    B8 A4 maintenance/upgrades

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just got a stock 2012 A4 from a family member with 123K. Full service records from dealership, basically all highway miles. New turbo, struts, springs, water pump/t-stat 10-15k miles ago. Any recommendation for preventative repairs or upgrades? Plan on walnut blasting the valves, pcv, timing chain. Already did plugs, coils, oil change every 3-5k, intake, intercooler, stage 1. No issues with oil consumption. Eventually want to get a bigger turbo.
    Thanks!

    If intake manifold is coming off for a carbon clean, you might consider injector replacement if you don't have any record on that. It's almost too bad the water pump was just done so recently!

    As [mention]MetalMan [/mention] said, plan on new OE injectors when doing the rest, you already said PCV, again OE, on the horizon HPFP, transmission and transfer case/differential fluids, motor mounts, check CV joints/boots and control arms.
