Also I'm changing the waterpump and accessories since it looks like it is original. I use the recommended castrol oil but I will and have always changed my oil at 3,000 mile intervals even with synthetic. I just don't know how the vehicle was taken care of before. Always a scary thing.
Audi's are VW's with fancy pants on. I don't get it...VW's are nice enough cars.

You better start a savings account for maintenance...and be prepared to get your hands dirty. On the plus side, owning a 2001 4.4i has made me a much better and more confident mechanic
