hello
i have a 2010 a5 quattro

any recommendations on where to buy parts? especially maintenance products (fluids, filters)?

I buy my fluids (Castrol Synthetic) from Autozone or Advance Auto, whichever has a sale at the time. I just bought a cpl of filters through Amazon.com for a good price.

There's also ECS Tuning, who I've purchased from in the past.

Advanced DOES stock some hard to find Pentosin products, but I've found it's far better to stock everything myself. I go to FORUM SPONSORS by using the tab above ("Vendors"). There are several vendors' sites that are actual Audi dealers who sell at a good discount and have invaluable parts diagrams. And cool Audi swag, too. http://www.audiusaparts.com/partloca...?siteid=215820 is one. Don't worry about shipping cost, usually you'll find one that has free shipping >$100 and you WILL break that Franklin on most orders!

HTH and welcome,
Tom

P.S. NAPA is good, too, locally.
