The New Guy

Hello All! I am the proud new owner of a 2010 S4 and I’ve trolled around and finally ended up here…

This seems like a knowledgeable group that is more down with actually getting their hands dirty than just posting speculation and hypotheticals.

A little about me:

I started out with a 2004 VW Jetta 1.8t and have been in the Maryland VAG scene since, been to Waterfest a few times and just about every H20 since 2003. I’m currently in Raleigh, NC staying hot as hell.

My main questions are, how has the DSG been treating everyone? I’m loving it but have reliability concerns, I feel like they may be overblown and I certainly don’t want to drive around with anxiety over if the trans is going to fail…

I’m at about 42,000mi and I will go in for an Audi inspection before 45k, anything I should ask for or be more observant to?

I’m thinking just intake and tune (APR or GIAC) not trying to start any wars…lol but anything else you all deem worthwhile?

Are the Audi service bulletins like recalls? as in, should I ask for them to give me a new trans flash or anything regarding them or should I trust their judgement on their findings?

Is anyone near Raleigh? I’d love a meetup.

Thanks! and sorry if this isn’t the correct place for this post but I didn’t see welcome thread or anything like that.
