200K miles/320.000KM on my 1994 ABY Avant.
Bought from Audi with 7 years and 30Kmil/50.000KM still on FASH and very few problems only minor stuff and mostly wear items.
Left me stranded only once when the plastic neck on the main radiator broke, most cooling system is now new.
It´s all original except from a boost gauge, homefries and LPG for the last 140.000KM
Did a compression test a year ago after 100.000KM on LPG and the result was:
Cyl. 1 - 12,7
2 - 12,1
3 - 12,3
4 - 12,9
5 - 12,5
As I live in an almost sub-tropical coutry there isn´t any rust but the exterior isn´t in great shape with the roof peeling and some scuffs here and there.
The turbo is still the original one and the clutch was changed due to the gearbox coming out to change a seal.
2 light bulbs in 24 years!
The leather in the optional electric Recaros is still in very good shape with minimal wear on the side bolsters.(cleaned and Nivea every year)
All in all a very fast, reliable, confortable and safe car with moderate running costs and economical on fuel due to the LPG. Beautiful to look at, rare and an excellent allround family car that I hope will last a lot more years and KM. It hasn´t any tech gadgets as you all know but all that is needed is there, power, traction, ac, ee, power, leather, ps, power........etc........
I´m a very happy owner and have considered several times during this 17 years of ownership changing for a more modern machine but in the end my good sense and reason made me see there is nothing out there that is such a well rounded package........................................... .maybe some sort of AAN if the right one comes my way to give this one some rest and share the work load!
Thank you for reading!
