1999 A6 AVANT 2.8 , 145,000
bought it at 132,000 ( not running ! last owner change the oil maybe once a year if that ! there was so much oil SLUGE in the heads it pluged the oil feed for the first cam bearing for both heads for the exhaust cam owner drove it till both exhaust cam eroded about 2-3 mm of the cyl. head and then both the exhaust cam snaped just about in the middle. I got new heads off ebay sent them to the machine shop (valve job, just wanted the heads to be in good shape) pulled the lower oil pan off to check the lower end all ok! put it all back together ( new t-belt, plugs, filters, water pump ) The cyl. head ( old broken ones ) are all black inside I have pixs at home I can post. Now that everthing is back together the car runs GREAT 145,000 now, the only thing I need to address is there is a noise from 60-65 mph I believe the noise is coming from the carrier bearing in the center of the drive line ( I had this problem with one of my older Audi's 85 4000 Q) any one want to see pixs of the heads let my know.

196,700 miles on my '95 A6 in NYS....still running. Of course I had to replace some things but repairing so far seems to be lower cost than buying a new one for $35,000 +.

2001 A6 2.7T at 106,000 miles. I chipped it at approx 89k and have been running it hard every chance I get. This past Friday, I went to lunch with a friend who has an '06 Maxima. He commented 4 times on how smooth my car runs and feels Audi is one hell of a luxury car maker. While that makes me feel good, I feel even better when I jump on the gas and he always says "holy sh#@, this car has some power."
Side note-my wife has a 99 A4 2.8 with 127k and the only reason she wants a new car, is because after being in the 2.7, she wants more power also.
