thanks, will do.  
I’ve been warned, not about this specific car, but in general about control arms being shitacular on these.  
anything else i should watch for?

I drove my A4 about 30k in an 8 month period, very very reliable. Chipped mine (with apr though) and it is quick.

I was going to warn of the control arms, I had to replace 2 on mine. Also the “secondary air pump” is a very common code to pull.

Good price, slap 3-4 into a turbo setup and run low 13’s high 12’s and have a great dd.
