I must say just romaing around these forms was SO Helpful looking and buying my new car I got a 98 T/A A4 with 69k on the clock. got her 4/20 only put 200mi's on her so far. I had the car inspected at a GM Dealer. It needs a Kick *** Tune up, break Job and 2 Tires. I would like to know what you all think would be need'd for a Kick *** Tune UP and any Tips on what brand,parts etc. NOTE i do want to MoD this car and is only a Summer Car! Wires: MSD 8.5mm, Plugs Bosh Plat+4,Coil packs? Fuel Filter: ?, Oil Filter, K&N Or Wix High Cap?, PCV,AirFilter: K&N, Oil AmsOil 10w-30(10k complet changes? VS 12k/6mo. change filter + Qt.then run for 12k/6mo.and change it all!), Trany Flush+AmsOil fluid?, Differnal AmsOil?(I have run mostly AmsOil in my Ram), Belts, What would you do? item's?,brand's?

Breaks i am trying to find a good set of Slot'd Rotors,good pads. if noting not sure, i'lljust use AutoZones Lifetime warrty'd ones and pads.

Thanks to Everbody! i have spent a good amount of time reading around here allrdy!

 

Congrats on your new car I bought a 99 formula about a month or so ago. Good running cars thats for sure

 

plugs and wires = yep... sounds good

fuel filter = oem

oil filter = oem ac delco, use the one for the trucks tho, larger capacity...
k@n and all those... for oil filters, your paying for the name

pcv = more specific?

air filter = k@n, yup

oil = can and will never go wrong with mobil 1 full syn. 10w 30 change about every 4 k miles... or sooner if you wish/if you drive real hard

tranmission service should be done every 50k miles... i'd check your paperwork to see if its already been done. if not... i'd go with b&m trickshift... OR that ford synthetic stuff... i forget the actual name... but its suppose to be the best and increase shift firmness, lubrication, etc...

belts: you only have one, far as i know? and there shouldn't be anything wrong with it at 69k miles... why replace it if it ain't broken? and if it is... oem that too.

better rotors is def a good idea... ones that won't warp everytime you need to slow down would be nice.

pads though i would actually go oem too... they are pretty good and actually work/sound/feel/respond better than the "hawk" pads everyone switches too... they aren't cheap either.... in the $200's for the front alone i think.


hope thats all

Just that i plan on replaceing it.

 

why

 

it apears to be the Orgnial pcv and was told to replace it if i was going to do a kick *** tune up.

 

There are 2 belts, one runs the a/c compressor on its own. No need to replace them unless they are cracked or have chunks missing. Change all the fluids so you know they have been done and when. MSD wires and NGK TR55 plugs. Use a full synthetic oil and you'll be fine, brands don't really mean to much (unless its autozone brand lol)
