Proof cars last longer when properly looked after. Our S4 ran a big end at 250k miles due to sludge buildup, guess its previous owners werent as keen on regular oil changes. Wonder what engine is in that car, were quattros only V6 or could you buy them with a diesel?

petrol 2.8 quattro auto!

IIRC there was a guy with a polo that had done 500k miles and VW gave him a brand new golf gti in exchange for it so they could put it in the Wolfsburg museum.

LOL but true.
Mind you have seen several VAG cars crack that. I remember a 1.9TDi Passat at local specialists used as a taxi that had 420K and climbing several years ago, still all original with just regular services and cambelt changes. Hope mine keeps going as long

I know of a Sharan with 820k on the clock, used to belong to a tour company, now a family runabout & still going strong.

obviously well used....its used for the 110mile trip to the Exeter Council Offices....then he references unwiding on the 'hour trip'

'Hello officer.....

[s2_bo]

So that car has consumed about 4 times its original purchase price in fuel!

Its good to know our council tax money is being spent wisely..

I remember my dad having a 1988 audi 100 2.2 as a taxi, and the gearbox bearings went after 700,000 miles, audi never stocked any spares as none had broke.

So they offered him a complete new gearbox and clutch, free of charge, so long as they could have the old one back for inspection. He sold it a couple of years later, think it had over 800,000 on. Was in a shady car garage a couple of months later with 120,000 on!

many people say that Audi A6 c4 is one of the most successful model in Audi

[pasbogdan]

I remember someone here complaining that 2.8 is the slowest engine on planet...Not quite fast but strong engine as i said there..

It certainly is one of my favourites. I really miss mine.

I keep trying to tell my mate that he doesnt need his S6 but he just wont listen to me.
