New Around Here
I am new to Audi. I am a BMW guy with my 540i/6. Audi will be part of the family as a daily. That being said, we bought a 2008 A4 Cabriolet with the 2.0T and 63k on the clock.
What are are the things I should look out for?

You never know how well or poorly the car was treated.
In addition to the timing belt, water pump, etc, do the front cam seal at the same itme
Change all fluids. I didn't see if you said quattro or not, but there is no Lifetime fluid. Change transmission fluid/gear oil, on whatever transmission you have, rear end oil if quattro, Flush brake fluid with new Pentosin, Change or at least drain and fill power steering fluid with Pentosin.
Probably due for a new set of spark plugs.
New air filter.
Check the fuel pump. As I recall there were problems with the fuel pump cam wearing through the metal cup which rides on the cam shaft. Research about prophylactic replacement.
Hope this helps
