whats you millage on your cars

[MingeBlue]

2002 1.8T and just hit 52k miles, would have owned it 6 years in Feb 11, serviced every 5-6k / yearly, mine seems to have had most of the common faults including,

-Rear wiper jet thing not working, did fix but broke again.
-CD stuck in multiplayer
-Alternator went and had to be placed, though bit suspious how it failed as it only stopped working on the drive back from body shop after new front bumper fitted.
-Rear break piston thing sticking.
-Central front arm rest broke, been fixed.


A part from above care is mint, alloys could do with refurb and new breaks etc need shortly. I would get something newer but this car does everything I need and I dont really do the miles to justify somthing just sitting on the drive.

2001 S3 - 108k, used every day with no major problems, just replaced snapped anti roll bar and bushes. Purchased Jan 2003 with 19k, so almost had it 8 years!!

Thanks,
Dave

 

[marcuss3]

2000 facelift 210BHP - 122000 miles with complete service history - one previous owner from new.

Recent clutch, flywheel, rear trailing arm bushes, front suspension bushes, front CV joints. Plus a service and haldex oil and filter.

Next up - cambelt and waterpump @ 130000 mile service + a replacement Xenon assembly (when I can get my hands on one!)

My S3 was born in Oct 2002 (52 plate) and she's on 102k.

Mileage is just a number to me. My cars are pampered, loved and well cared for so hopefully it will still be going just as perfectly when it hits 200k

 

[Jacko4130]

142K Only normal wear and tear, Cambelt snapped at 80k but that was original owners fault.

 

[david7m]

I've only got 11k miles left before it reaches 100k during my ownership (19k to 119k)

[mk1chopper]

109,000 w reg S3, owned for just over 4 years, had coilpacks replaced by previous owner. I've had 3 springs replaced, both arbs, lower wishbones, coolant header tank, thermostat, clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder, clutch went at 104k iirc. Over all its been pretty trouble free, nothing major has ever gone wrong with it.

[KB]

99 on a v, apy 113k, recent clutch and gearbox, new suspension and brakes all round - all age related rather than mileage to be fair to the old girl.

 

[jojo]

60k and 155k

Still about the same! lol

 

[Sam_]

105,500km (~66,000 miles) - bought at 104,000km

It's already had a recent haldex service, new clutch, the major service (cambelt etc), temp sender and the clutch pedal fix.

I've done:
Black Forge 007 (it had some barry boy "GFB" diverter valve that was bust)
New coilpacks (Audi replaced one under recall but I changed them all to bolt downs)
New plugs (BKR7EIX)
Couple of new hoses (silicon)
Gave it a minor service - Mobil1 0w40 oil, fuel and air filter (standard VAG)
G200 sensor
Clutch switch

Madness eh? I'm also about to fit a Haldex blue controller as I can hear the some groaning which, from what I've read, can be the controller. Can't do any harm to upgrade while I'm there! The thermostat isn't keeping the temp at 90 either on a long run so I need to swap that out too. Probably do a coolant flush with new G12 at the same time.

 

[R1KVX]

[stacey bear]

1999 V 18.t done 63k when I got her a year ago now done 71k. Had all wear and tear parts brakes tyres ect, but does have a lumping noise when you go round corners. I've serviced her well and I have got all previous invoices for services at audi and other garages too. Not bad for an old car.

 

[gussyldr]

an all was good for about a week then it all started
1. clutch went replaced along with flywheel
2. i thought on of my coil packs were gone which later turned out to be an ignition module
3. both track rods an ends had to be replaced
4. then my brake master cylinder & servo went

then i had enough and sold it in feb problems gone:thumbsup:

it was to slow anyway (lol) cant wait till i get the S3 tough

1.6 Sport. 1999 120k miles. Had the car from brand new. Most of the parts mentioned replaced due to wear and tear, 2 months ago got a new head. My baby has cost me a small fortune over the years. But I haven't got the heart to get rid yet.
