100000 Miles!

[Four Play]

This was taken earlier in the week on my way back from IKEA Houston with a dining room table & 4 chairs, and a 6 drawer dresser(I love having an Avant!)
The B&W wasn't intentional, my camera was dead so I only had time for one pic and that was the last setting I had it on.




I bought this car last year with ~62k miles(pic is a week after I bought it after putting almost 3k miles on it already!)


Now almost 40k miles and a year and half later, it's still running strong, and has only broke down once. It was the dreaded CP failure, and I had them in the car when it happened, but hadn't found the time to replace them because of work. So I replaced them on the side of the road and on I went!

An interesting fact I found out a while back, the previous owner who bought the car new, had it chipped at ~8k miles with APR software, and here it is 90k miles later with the same software and still no problems! APR makes some very solid tunes IMO...

Im about to be in the 100k club as well

[absolutegtr]

I took a pic of me at 100K...i wanted to upload it, but I cant find it, lol

I made sure I was at WOT when the clock turned 100K

Car runs great, and still pulls strong.

[bigbro]

that is great news shows these cars are reliable.

I was wanting to take a pic of it while doing like 130+ but when my wife got the camera out it was pretty much dead, and I didn't want to miss the photo opportunity.

Have either of you had any big problems?

[J3RR3L]

congrats. im about 4k away!

[prey]

Oh nice! so u bought ur car with the radio off and after 40k miles it turned on.

congrats!!

[Maverick]

that's a lot of miles in one year and half!

[gdawg'05a4]

Nice! I'll be joining the 100k club in less than 3,000 miles with my '05

[kolan67]

I'll be joining the 100k club tonight. Congrats. Big Turbo still on my mind.

[AudiA4Turbo22]

sweeeeeet! i was gonna say "Hey, how come he gets the sweet white MFD and dials?" lol!

[BLACKa4QUAT]

heh i was about 5k away from my 100k before getting rid of my b6. new turbo, coil packs, ignition harness problems, front cv joint boot ripped, new motor mounts, eh it ran soild, but i'd rather have a warranty.

You just pooped on our party

[A4Tuuuurbo]

Do I get a 100k for joining this so called "club"..

* holds hand out *

=)

haha, my dad still has it back in tx, rarely ever drives it, if i could afford to insure it and my b7, it'd be nice to have a car insured to me when i visit, or if anybody in the dfw area is interested in it, its for sale. its a tip though

I'm still planning on a BT myself, had I not bought a house recently I would probably would have had one installed by now.

GDawg, did you put all those miles on yourself?!?!?

[Arclight]

Good to know the reliability is there...did you already do the H2O pump/timing belt (I assume you have)?

[pondside36]

Nice.. almost there at 98k now... no problems except for the typical clutch, and electrical stuff..

[gdawg'05a4]

GDawg, did you put all those miles on yourself?!?!?

Yes I did

I average 25-30k miles/year. My commute is about 300 miles M-F alone. It use to be about 500 miles but changed jobs. I've driven to D.C., Niagara Falls, Toronto, Pennsylvania, NYC numerous times (about 2-3 times a year visiting friends) and everywhere else around New England.

A car is made for driving right?

[dougyfresh]

NICE. I hit 100kmiles this time last summer. I'm around 128k right now (on the chassis) and about 2500 on the new motor.



I really haven't had any major problems with the car. Just the little annoying nuisances with the interior (sunroof rattles, headlight switch peels, lumbar broke).

The high mileage of my original engine was starting to show when we put the GT28RS kit on. I could have seafoamed the head to clean all the carbon build-up off the valves but I opted to build the spare engine I had in my garage. (I wanted more than 300awhp.)

For what its worth: I know of an AZ member here that showed excessive leakage through the valves on a 12X,000 motor. He seafoamed the head (through the vacuum port) and did another leakage test. The leakage values went from unacceptable to acceptable (~4-5% leakage). That told me the seafoam cleaned up all the carbon deposits in the head and now the engine is 'healthy' again.

100000k miles? That's insane. You should contact the Guinness World Record committee.

I'm pretty sure the OP means 100,000 miles or 100kmiles

[Four Play]

Yep, I changed it myself at 73K miles, it was my first time doing any major work on a VW/Audi but it was surprisingly easy!

Nice.. almost there at 98k now... no problems except for the typical clutch, and electrical stuff..

I had a few minor electrical problems myself. The rear hatch actuator would work only part time, I had the A/C control panel replaced because it wasn't working right, and my windshield washer pump keeps blowing a fuse. And out of all the things I had worked on the car, the only thing the aftermarket warranty didn't cover was the damn pump!

Had I bought this car brand new, I would have well over 150k+ miles, but the funny thing is, we never really took any long trips. We bought the car when we were living in Houston, and the furthest we drove was either Galveston or Orange. So all these miles I put on were just from driving around Houston mainly!

I seafoamed mine about 10k miles ago, it belted out quite a bit of smoke, but I didn't notice any difference in gas mileage or driveability, but I did clean the MAF with CRC MAF Cleaner and I noticed a pretty big difference in how smooth the power came on. And I'm about to change the oil and send off a sample to get analyzed and see how the motor is doing...

Fixed!

[CyberPMG]

100k miles... that's so 31k miles ago (still original body and engine).

Congrats on hitting the 6 digit club!

[jonsaudi]

I'm in the 100,000 miles club! Just hit it the other day. I got the car in '07 with 56k miles on it. Now here it is.
Since then: CP failure, new set of tires and brakes, coolant flange leak, some other coolant leak coming from one of the lines, TB job (@ 89k, btw), water pump replaced, right dipped headlight (replaced ballast), fuel pump recall, a/c freon re-charged, repaired broken glove box hinge..
To do list: CV boot replacement (both sides), something about power steering leaking needs to replaced so I can align fronts, coolant is slowly leaking from somewhere, and a couple more that I can't remember.
Wish list: paint lowers, USP or Oetty front bumper, BEESIX MOD rear bumper, RNS-E, replace peeling buttons, Euro wiper conversion, APR chip...
Overall, despite of the car having small nuisance like, weird buzzing noises, and passenger door locking by itself when open, etc., it's a great car. I enjoy driving it. I hope to keep it for another 100k..if that's even possible with these cars. Anyone here know a B6 that's reached 200k miles?!

[hbodo08]

im about to hit the 100 k club in 5000 miles i cant wait to see how far she can go

[jdogg]

I am at almost 180,000 kms, which is about 110,000 miles in my 3L. Still loving it. I am on track for about 200,000km by the end of the year. I cant wait.
Good to hear that their are other high mileage Audi's out there.

[chadb2434]

Congrats!!

98k and counting here

[[email protected]]

Noice

[FORCE_FED_DUB]

[skeeball]

Grave dug. But I just rolled over 100k a couple of weeks ago. I have a pic around somewhere. Purchased new with 6 or 7 miles on it.

[gray6spd]

[gdawg'05a4]

Wow, old thread. Had about 97k when I posted last (8/08), currently at 130k.

aarononymous has over 200k on his '02.

[JBM]

1) Control arms
2) Window regulator
3) Oil change
4) Fluids
5) Bumper fix
6) New intercooler and fix the grills

[jmw241]

[Valve_Cover]

Lol and here i am inching towards the 200k club :P

[stealthB6]

99,xxx here and she looks better then ever, and still as slow as she was at 0 miles...
