200k or close guys, how's it been?
Just out of curiosity, wanted to ask what has been done to your car, repairs ect. And if your car is 1.8t or 3.0 auto or manual ect.
My car: 02 3.0q mt6 premium with cold weather. 197.xxx hwy mpg 26.3 mixed 22.5 consistently and I don't drive nice at all. I am a very aggressive driver.
previous owner had a cat replaced at 56k.
P.O. also dinged the left rear and right front. body shop receipts found in owners manual.
I bought it with 135k on it in 10'.
At 167k; timing belt, new valves head gaskets, intake gaskets, valve job, head surface on both. Also left front cv, 034 motorsports motor, trans and snub mounts. RS4 rear sway bar. power steering flush and change of fluid type. Now using Mobile1 atf. no leaks no noise and very stable feel.
168k Swapped trans, transfer, and rear dif oil to Amsoil. WOW! best thing i have ever done to a car for the cost. smoothed the shifts out very well.
174k Had coil recall performed and it cured a random missfire issue.
195k Engine coolant temp replaced.
195k passed emissions with FLYING colors.
Currently at 197k and everything works and works right EXCEPT the gas gauge, it reads what it wants always less than what you have so I haven't bothered to deal with it.
I left out stuff I consider normal maint. brakes, oil, ya' know.
I absolutely love my car and don't want to have to "upgrade". Thanks!

2005 1.8t Quattro, 82k miles, timing service, transmission and diff service, torn left front cv boot, replaced both for the hell of it. Been running like a dream, all though my right tie rod is failing, going to replace both soon. No upgrades, do plan on in the summer getting new suspension and rims.

hey guys! i have a 2002 a4 1.8t with approx 195,050. just had front brakes, flex pipe, and a caliper replaced at 193,800. other than that i had a turbo rebuil at around 155k, did the clutch when i bought the at 136k. also ive replaced oil pick up tube, rear brakes, brake lines, e-brake cables, oil leaks and currently saving up for a timing belt within the next 5k miles! need to replace thermostat however because the temp gauge only goes to the middle when idling, when driving it ALWAYS
