Audi A6Finding quality Audi A6 Car Parts at reasonable prices can be a task, especially if you are shopping at your local dealers part counter. German parts are going to be somewhat more expensive for obvious reasons, but the dealers love adding some serious markup to their parts for the more prestigious brands.

If your A6 is a little bit older it may need some TLC to bring it back to life. The great part about it, is that you have great bones to work with, and you may just need a tune-up or a brake job etc. If you don’t want to get taken to the cleaners you can save a ton in labor costs by performing the work yourself. We all know that having our dealer work on the car can set one back a nice bit. For most basic maintenance though there is no reason to pay the extra cash unless you’re getting warranty work or don’t have the proper tools. Most basic maintenance can be performed in your garage as long as you have basic tools and a little bit of mechanical aptitude. Sometimes we just don’t have time so for some the extra money may be worth it for the cost of convenience.

The A6 V6 and especially the V8 are ripe for some easy performance mods. Be careful with what you perform though obviously if your car is a lease, and still under warranty as some mods will void warranties. One of the best things you can add for performance is an ECU upgrade or a power programmer to adjust your cars computer settings so you can play with the boost, shifting parameters, etc.

Either way by ordering your Audi A6 Car Parts online, and especially if you like to work on your car you can save a ton of money and get the satisfaction of a job well done.

A3 Parts

Finding parts for the A3 can be a hassle, and if you order them from a dealer you can expect to pay a good markup price. I always recommend that you order your parts online, whether it be performance or replacement, but especially performance parts as dealers and brick and mortar parts stores add a nice markup to these performance parts. The A3 is a great candidate for a chip with the standard turbocharged 2.0 you can great hp gains with a performance chip. The parts store listed has all these accessories at wholesale prices. The A3 also will get a nice boost from a K&N filter although not near as dramatic as the boost from the chip, you will still get a noticeable increase in fuel mileage, and power. The 2.0 already has a lot of nice punch, but with a few simple mods you can really get the most out of the 2.0.

Maintenance on the A3 can be performed by yourself if you are at all mechanically inclined. Don’t waste money on oil changes if you have the luxury of doing it yourself. Taking it to a dealer with set you back handsomely, and aftermarket performance parts can also be applied by you if you are moderately knowledgeable with these things. The only thing you should be taking your car for the dealer for is major mechanical work such as warranty work or if you have to flush the transmission for example and can’t get under your car, or have the correct tools for the job. The bottom line though is the A3 is an easy car to work on and you can save a ton of money getting quality Audi A3 Car Parts here.
