A4 just turned 70K today....

[needforspd]

And I only need a new throttle body, MAF, DV and locate a short in the electrical. Not bad eh? Oh and now that Im at 70K gotta save up even more for the TB job. Gotta love them German cars.


lol

[SFexBOY]

yea i turned over 60K a couple wks ago....I might be forced to do my TB sooner than I had expected. Way too many posts on AW w/ tensioner failures lately. Don't wanna risk it.

[DRA4]

I gota do my TB too, hopefully this month.

[A4Jon1.8t]

I got less than 2k till I hit 100k. I'll have to take a pic and post it when it happens.

[chaua1]

Im at 105k! Still going strong, but turbo might need to be rebuilt soon...:)

Huh? How do you rebuild a K03?

If you blow your turbo, you're going to have to replace it completely. Also, you turbo should last a long, long time. Turbo failure is very rare in the Audi.

I'm over 105K right now. Running strong, no major maintenance items to speak of.

What happened to your TBs? I've had the bored one from TAP since about 30k.

And I've never had any MAF issues. I'm convinced that MAF issues can be related to running K&N filters.

Can someone enlighten me as to what a TB is?

Oops, I think they're talking about the Timing Belt, but I was thinking they meant Throttle Body.

BTW - I would recommend everyone do their timing belt before 70k. There's no point in pushing it just to save a couple miles. It's an expensive fix if it goes.

[A4Jon1.8t]

Cool, thanx DDQ.

[Anthony]

Yeah, do your Timing Belt ASAP!

Mine's at about 69K and I did mine around 60K or so. Starting to make a weird noise now, which is either coming from the tensioner or water pump. Had the WP replaced with the TB job so it's kind of odd...

[EC Motorwerks]

Damn n00b's. Im around 145-150 biish's

[nizmosx]

ill be at 70k in about 200 miles. booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo

i dont think theyre covered under warrenty. but tensioners are, so if you "wear out" your tensioner, wink, wink theyll have to take off the t-belt to get to it any ways. When they do this, tell em to put on the new t belt. This is what they did with my car. It saved me mucho dollars. I only paid for the price of the belt. Labor was covered under my old warranty(mine just ended too). I walked out paying only 50 bucks(deductable) for a new t belt and tensioner.

thats sounds a little high. if i remember right, and if i didnt do what i did, the price of the t-belt replacement at the dealer was gonna be around 600 bucks. But yes, no matter what kind of service your having done at an audi dealer, they always offer you hot naked chicks. Its just part of owning an audi.

[Pureaudi]

no dude i think i got some other shit done, the stealership wanted 21hundred for it, i was like **** that, so i whent to a shop that had audi OEM parts and he did it for 18 hundred.....i didnt get the naked girls....all i got to see is a fat mecanic....i was like uhm goodbye! haha

[chaua1]

By the way, since someone else mentioned it, how long do the stock k03's last, chipped and unchipped?

Adam

[Lumas]

I totally agree. Mine went on my Tacoma and the dealer told me not to put in a KN again or he wouldn't fix it under warrranty.

[jam101]

I'm nearly at 114k is there anything i really need to look at?

[heliotrpic]

What about the K&N messes with the MAF? I just put one in and my check engine light came on then went away. Owning this car has been like being on a rollercoaster. I love the car but the ups and downs are interesting. I'm saving for the timing belt.

[voodooA4]

sucks to hear you have to fix all that stuff...mine just turned 70k last night as a matter of fact...not having any problems though, still running well except for a small sqeak when the engine is cold (*knocks on wood*)

that is awesome. I'm, at 248,000 kms which is about the same in miles. I haven't heard of too many being that old.

[A4 in SC]

Compared to a couple of guys, my car's just a baby. It has nearly 104K on it now.

BTW, my Mk2 I have for sale has a little over 135K on it and has never even had the head off. Everything still running as strong as ever. I did have the lifters replaced when I added a Neuspeed cam, but that's all the engine work it's ever had.

BTW. if you're interested in a second car, check out the classifieds... Sorry, I just had to plug my Mk2.

[bodylines]

I just bought a 96 A4 with 60,000. and was told to change the belts. I guess its a good thing that I took that advise and replaced b4 I lost my engine.......

[bodylines]

WOW! I just bought a 96 A4 with 60,000. and was told to change the belts. Good thing I took the advise had my boyfriends mechanic do it for $50.00......
