First Audi and first post.
Just got a 2010 A4 and wondering what all you experts advise to do to it as far as mechanical or cosmetic modifications / preventive maintenance. Love the car and want to get the most out of it.

Congrats and welcome. I have the 2009 Cabriolet.
Only use the oil recommended in your owners manual by Audi.
You may want to increase the engine's power by looking into a Racechip module or a Chipwerke module commonly called a "piggyback chip". It is is an easy DIY installation and will increase the power by 25% without danger to your engine.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking of getting a piggyback but was wary about the longterm affect on my engine so thanks for the info!

Welcome to the forum and congrats! First thing to do before considering any mods (i.e. spending any money on mods) is to find out if your car consumes oil. The 2.0L TFSI engine of that time period is notorious for this problem along with timing chain/tensioner and water pump failures. My intention is not to scare you but just give you a heads-up so you won't be surprised after spending all your hard-earned money on mods.
