So far all is good. Car still looks great. Some minor internal paint issues on headlight switch and other dials that the paint wore off. Will keep reporting....how many miles is on your B7?

 

93k here. Got some bubbles that cracked and wore some of the coating off the driver's lock switch, but at $150 for just the part, I'm not inclined to replace it. Also, my armrest lid latch is busted (again, easy fix, but the $$ for the part is absurd). The rest of the interior is holding up well other than a rattly dome light cover and a bit of rattle in the passenger seat when it's not sitting at a specific angle that really only bug me in the winter when it's cold and the plastics shrink.

Exterior is in great shape. Garage kept for the last 5+ years. I have a dime-sized door ding on one side (no paint damage--just a dent) and the paint on the wheel center caps is worn off, but the car's paint is looking very nice and still has a shine to it.

Mechanically, meh. I have a leaky coolant flange (who doesn't if you haven't ever replaced it) and a leaking vacuum pump. I'm hoping to take care of those soon. In the last year, I've had all the upper control arms replaced, the transmission fluid/filter changed, timing belt/water pump changed, and a split EVAP line and the driver's door module replaced. About $3800 total. So, you can see why I'm holding off on the coolant flange and vacuum pump for a bit. Had the cam follower (original to my knowledge, but may have been replaced in the first 35k miles of the car's life) inspected last summer and it was fine. Probably about time to pull that and look at it again.

I love the car and it's paid for, but it's starting to be a bit of a money pit.

 

Wow and I thought I had a lot of miles...Just turned 43,000 miles black on black 2006 tip/quattro/premium package. . LOL Had it since new and only goes out when it's nice weather. Only been in the snow maybe twice in it's life,garage queen,Always use the company car in bad weather to keep it clean. Hell it never goes out in the rain either! Still absolutely gorgeous!

 

My girl is becoming a garage queen...need to exercise her it has been two weeks since i drove her...my 06 suburban @141k is getting exercise now since gas is in the 1.70s in the southeast!
