I'm in exactly the same position. My 2.5tdi is on 205k with a documented history including 19 oil changes and 5 cambelts but there's a few rust patches appearing which winds me up. Can I justify spending more than it's worth? Probably not.

I've recently been through this dilemma as my timing belt was due and on a 51'plate car with 202,000. It's a 2.5tdi so a pricey job that Adamms24 did for me but still 1/3rds the cars value. I had some agonising decisions. 330ci, B7 S4 would have been my next move if I made it but the old girl...

I got a pre painted one off eBay. Perfect fit and colour match for £90. I wish I could find the same seller as the other side needs doing.

First up. Happy New Year everyone. Now I know this might seem really trivial but 2 door handles on my avant have started sticking up / not closing on their own. It's so annoying. I've sprayed some WD40 into them but it's made no difference. Any ideas or similar experiences and how did you...

I've been waiting years for my Audi to die. I can't justify getting rid of it, or abusing it into the ground as it's been so good to me. When the time comes it will be a B7 S4 Avant or a C6 S6 Avant if my B6 keeps going long enough. Mine's 14yrs old with 197k so i'd only get pennies for it...

Do you have a link to the car? The questions I'd be asking are whether it's been on long-life servicing and what expensive bits have been done and when (clutch, belt, pump etc). Mines on 197k at the moment and is honestly unbelievable.

That will be my vet.......I'm pretty sure I've bought it for him! Was the reg **56 VET?

Hi. I've had the same car for 4 years and there's much more knowledgable people than me on here who will hopefully help out. Starting issues.....I get the White smoke and have done for 4 years. New glow plugs, battery, CTS, stat etc all done. I've just learned to live with it as there's no...

195K on my 2001 2.5 TDI QS and it's just sailed through its MOT again today

I'd rather suck the goodness out of a tramps pants than be seen driving that.

Mr Muscle'd my turbo. Noticeable results again. About 2 years since I last did it.

Gearbox & diff oils if they've not been done? Purely precautionary but worth doing if your keeping it IMO. Also 4 wheel alignment on a proper system. Kwik Fit did mine, noticeable difference.

Sorry for the thread hijack Nickb834 and even sorrier for the crappy news mate. Have you managed to recover much through breaking?

Cheers mate. I'm keeping my eye out for my perfect S4 comes up. When it does it will be impeccably maintained and a keeper.

so Dualmono21......as I understand it the B7's are a little less prone due to slightly harder plastics and fitting a pre-oiler system prevents further wear to the point where it goes bang, is this right? If this is the case I assume it would make sense to aim for a B7 with a top quality history...

I got one for mine recently but from a different e-bay seller. Fit is perfect. I was fed up of looking at the rusty arch but not fed up enough to pay for a genuine panel and blending job on a car that is not showroom condition. Just not worth it in my opinion, but then I'm not as fussy as others.

193,270 on mine today when I filled up. I've seen other threads with people over 300k

Get your battery checked mate.

How much was that? And where from? Mine looks its age.

That sounds like Docurley's new car. See the 'moving on' thread.
