[b]Another 3.0 here as well. Got really tired of being beaten to death with 1.8t threads when I was searching for info on AZ. Quick and dirty on my 3.0

Black on black 6MT
I’ve had parts building up in the garage for a while now, from more low to more show.
Been watching the forum for a while now and picking up on ideas such as the zingo mod, JHM mod for the log manifolds, to 2.5" exhaust set up (with a x) for example.

Welcome Crazy Horse,
Not too many bolt ons for the 3.0L for power.
How ever You will find on this forum that there are small MODs that do a little.
And You won’t get the crap from 1.8t owners here.
Is Yours an automatic or a Manual? Quattro?
Quattro with 6 speed. Wouldn’t even think of buying an Audi without quattro. Oh I know all about the lack of bolt ons for the 3.0, I came from a C5 4.2 and watched Beemercers 4.2 turn into an animal from day 1. I used to be engrossed into the C5 platform but things the times have changed.
Hey new Audi owner here. 2003 3.0 Quattro Manual Avant
Welcome! Need more Avants on here!
Hi, new here, I have an 02 3.0 quattro, 6 speed. I have it for 4 months now. It has 114.500 miles. Didn;t had any problems with the car. I have a small problem: it has a small leak near both of the valve cover gaskets but no significant lose in oil and also I dont see any on the ground. I will replace it when its gonna be worst. Today: oil change (Castrol SLX Prof 5W30, with factory audi filter) and replace the fuel filter (I dont have any problems with it but I want to protect my fuel pump. I talked with the previous owner and he said that he never changed. A new one is 14$ cause is the first generation of fuel filters). Nice to be here.
Welcome Delasangre4231 and vali_podaru
Nice to see another Avant on here! And it’s a manual, very nice. Is it the 5 or 6spd?
NH
Looks like there’s going to be 2 less. Zingo traded his car in for a mini cooper and mine’s for sale. Shame shame.
Shame. I feel like the 3.0 crew is what got things going here on AR before us 4.2 hooligans showed up.
I was really excited for the 3.0 program but I guess things have stalled of late.
Yea I got a bunch of them over here a couple years back because we were getting flamed 24/7 on AZ. But like you said, it’s been stalled for ages. Time to move on, I’d like to have a new car for a change. But I’ll be back in a v8 Audi when my lease is up 
Wow that sucks guys…i dont blame you either…i am trying to figure out if i should cut my losses too…get into something with warranty…
I really want to get into a v8 audi but it is too damn ezspensive over here…maybe later in my life
What’s the status on yours lout? Mine is great now that I’ve got all the little things fixed to get it sold… it’s going to be hard to part with.
Well my car is still sitting with the dead motor in it…i have my other motor at my brothers place, i got my computers back from jhm after they put a big effort in getting them done…the next thing i have to do is make the custom downpipes to my headers cause supersprint is shit and did no reaserch…the only proplem is my stock downpipe is still.in the car and need to get it out to use as a template to make the new downpipes…
Talk to CV about the downpipes, he might be able to give you some assistance without having to pull your stock ones.
Sad to hear people are ditching the 3.0L’s…
Tax time is here and I was hoping JH Motorsports would have the 3.0L’s DP’s ready.
I am going to spend some money and test a theory.
I have been old when the CEL code says Your CATS are bad that 02 spacers wont fix the codes.
We’ll see about that.
Does anyone know who sells good L shaped 02 spacers besides 42DraftDesigns?
I am getting the JHM 3.0L tune weather or not the 02 spacers work.
Tax time is here and I’m going to pay off my 3.0 ;D Got a bunch of brake stuff from ECS today and next weekend, I’m replacing pads/rotors/fluid with the help of a friend. As long as the weather holds out anyway.
I got the GEOMET coated rear rotors from ECS for $52.57. for the pair. I like the way they don’t rust up.
There 6 month old and still look new. The front ones are new but not GEOMET coated and they look like there rusted bad but they aren’t but 3 months older then the rears.
That’s nice to hear. I’m replacing both my front and rears because of rust and poor rotor wear now. There is about 1/2-1" of rust along the outer edge on the contact surface. It looks bad and probably isn’t the greatest for brake performance. I got the Meyle rotors for front and rear and both have the Geomet coating, so hopefully they stay rust free and also wear a little more evenly this time.
