You'll NEVER know for sure. I would do it at 75k just to make sure. Some cars break at 70k, others at 100k. Don't risk it or you'll be in around $2,000 for repairs! If not 75k, defintely by 80k. When I called to make the appointment today, when I said my car has 89k the mechanic told me I had *****...haha...not a good sign!

Just my .02 cents.

ps. To put an end to this post, THE DEALER IS DEFINITELY NOT CHEAPER. Upon closer inspection, they were definitely fibbing to me...leaving sh*t out.

 

HA! My car is an 03........and I have at this moment 76,521 on it.
I was hoping to put it off to 90K OR dump it right before. I have 5 payments left on it.
I've had way too much go wrong with it within the past 4 years and I bought it brand new!

Thanks for the tip.....

I had mine done, with water pump,a few months ago at a certain (not sure if you are supposed to 'name name's' on the site) Audi dealer in south Denver... Littleton actually.

They did a great job. Quoted me $950 I think, but the bill was only $800 when I picked it up. I have a b5 quatro with 90k miles. I almost did it myslef, but didn't have a heated garage and waspretty busy at the time. Looking back, I probably should have done it myself, but it WAS convenient to drop it off in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon and haveit done.
