Just had my first major repair on my '02 3.0 Quattro - replacement of one catalytic converter ... big expense. Am now curious what others' experiences have been with types and frequencies of repair or breakdown concerns with '02's at this stage in their life. Mine has approx. 88,000 miles on it and I am the first and only owner.

Any and all insights and comments would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hey Roughgem! Unfortunately, maintenance on these cars are not so pocket friendly but they make the cars much more reliable in the end. I'm sure with a little bit of searching in the forum, you'd be able to find what it is that your car might need both now and in the future. I'm almost certain that many other forum members will chime in to give you some advice in regards to maintenance schedule for your car. In the meantime, browsing through the DIY section will be a good way for you to get more acquainted with you B6. You could also post a photo of you and/or your car in our Photo Gallery or just check out the many photos of different Audis and their owners in the forum. With that said, welcome to AudiForum.ca!

Just a couple of things:
Wiper Motor
Coil Packs
Fuel Pump
Steering Rack
Coolant Reservoir Container.

I've replaced all of these parts in the last 18 months.

Oh, and make sure you've done your timing belt job. You should have done it already.
