A4's total mileage

[TFSI]

Hello, I'm from b7 section.
I was wondering how long does the A4 last.
What are the mileage on your cars?

[Euromike]

Well b5's and b7's are completely and totally different. So you will see huge differences in the longevity of them.

As for b5's, one of mine is pushing 200k, and I plan on driving it well past 300k.

[Drev500]

To add to your question you should have people clarify which engine they have (1.8 or 2.8), what type of transmission they have, mods, etc...

[DGAFxxx]

I know there's a few people on here pushing 300K. I'm at 120K and mine runs like a champ.

[NeedingAnAudi]

180k on my original 1.8t, about 150 on my rebuilt 1.8t

[walky_talky20]

I'd expect the 2.0T in the B7's to have a somewhat shorter life span than the 1.8T. They seem to have some extra problems. The 2.0T in the B8, however seems to have fixed a lot of those problems.

Of course this all depends on maintenance, etc. I've seen people cook 1.8T's in 60k from just not changing the oil. That goes a long way to making it last. If you take care of it, you can make anything last a long time.

As far as the cars themselves. The chassis are excellent. Galvanized body and rust-proofing processes. Just can't be beat for longevity on the body. Not at all.

168k on the chassis

18k on the rebuilt engine

88k on the transmission

[TFSI]

I know the engines are different, and it all varies by each person's maintenance.
Just wanted to see how long these 1.8t engines last

[habiscusa4]

my old a4 1.8tqm 97 had 194k stilll running stron when sold , my current 99.5 1.8tmq has 142k been chipped since 80k, just did plugs in her yesterday

[coolgraymemo]

1.8T at 120,000 miles

Someone on here has one with 360,000 miles. I saw it in a thread but dont remember who owns it.

[99blueb5]

if they are taken care of and done the basic maintenance then they will last over 220k easily, i have 170k and 40k of that ive had my stage 3 kit on, ive had 3 other b5 and have all had over 180-190k

[FNK]

227 000 km on Motor, trans, body

[rookie18]

'bout 145,000 with original clutch

1999 1.8T

[dirtyb5a4]

good to hear these numbers, i have 86k on my 97 and 144k on my 99.5

[Getoffamybacon]

there is another thread about mileage, but here goes again: 97 quattro 2.8 12v 264k miles.

[somebody5788]

It just depends how well you take care of it. Things will go bad but if you do regular oil changes, proper cool downs if you're driving it hard, and thorough carbon cleaning at least every 2 years/ 30k miles. It could theoretically last 300-500k miles. With multiple turbo's for the 1.8t and chain tensioners on both. And lots of timing belts lmfao

[Shhmaudi]

98 1.8t with 95k.. runs grea!!!t mods in sig

[somebody5788]

Oh and I have 159,000 miles on my 2.8 and it literally runs like it's brand new out of the factory.

[zephyr125]

I have 157k on my 2.8. Runs good, but not great. I think it'll easily run to 200k though.

[Kronic Budz]

145k 2.8 12v 5 speed. runs good not great. but will run past 200k without a doubt. if anything, tranny will go before the engine.

[jm121189]

150k on 1.8t and still going strong!

[B5_t]

over 270 here and still loving every moment and car still runs like a champ mind u thats ams and on body engines newer as timing belt snapped on previous owner

[ParkerB5]

pushing 330,000 on my 99.5 2.8 quattro

[somebody5788]

pushing 330,000 on my 99.5 2.8 quattro
