Just purchased a B5 S4
 

Hey I just bought a 2000 S4 and was wondering if people can reply with some helpful tips on how to maintain a car such as this one. Thanks.

Ya, like jface said, the whole front of the motor at around that mileage...belts, tensioners, water pump, idler pulleys and so on. Check out purems or ecs and so on. Most of them have entire kits that you can get to refresh your baby. Get the most extensive kit you can....do it once. You don't want to keep going back in there to change one thing at a time.

As far as other maintenance goes, just keep up to date with it...if something needs to be done, do it. If you let things pile up on you, you'll be crying when it comes time to dish out for the repair$.

G'luck and Enjoy!
