ORIGINAL: FA.A4

The car im trying to get is a 99 A4 1.8tQM and it has 97k on it. He said the same thing as illridezwannabe said, that his machanic said it was fine and not to change, but this guy is the second owner so i dont know if the first owner changed it or not. Also this man is running normal oil through his audi not synth. i think ill get keep looking for another A4
Yeah, keep looking. Buying a 1.8T that hasn't been treated to synthetic is asking for that super fun sludge problem.

With that many miles, make sure you take it to an independent mechanic to check out. Make sure he also checks the oil pressure.
