My 2000 2.7t just hit 114,000 miles. It needed new rear brakes (pads and rotors and 1 caliper) and needs a new resonator. Other than that it rides like new. Too bad the leather seats are split in several places and the inside mirror needs replacement again. I run Mobil 1 0W-40 and that cleaned the inside of the motor after the past owner ran conventional oil (and grew a small amount of sludge).

 

Anyone have any issues with seats getting loose. I can detect movement from side to side every so often when turning corners

02 4.2 sport Just had outer tie rod ends done 136000

 

My newly purchased 1999 A6 has 99500.

Smooth sailing so far. This is my first Audi purchase and I'm impressed with it build quality. Very solid and smooth. Now squeaks or rattles. The PO babied it and it's in near mint condition.

I was amused that both front and back cigarette lighters were still virgins.

Love this car!

And to whoever said you always hear bad things. I probably wouldn't have posted this without being prompted.

 

I have 153,000 on my 2003 A6 Sedan. Replaced Timing Belt, P/S pump and now have low oil light issues. Getting ready to replace oil pressure switch to see if that helps. These cars are great but have oil sludge issues.

 

Agassi, what motor do you have in it? Also, what is your change interval? Mine was purchased at 47,000 and had 4 changes at that point. While there was no sludge, certainly brownish color on the valve train. Much worse than my Dodge or Ford that had seen regular 3,000 to 4,000 changes on conventional oil. I plan to change this weekend and run something like Rislone for 1,000 and change again to clean it.

135,000

 

I have the 3.0 engine. I used to change at 10k at Audi only. After 110k I started to change about 7k. I have used an S&S engine flush since and have seen dramatic results. Getting ready to change the valve covers for the second time in a year since they are leaking again. I even did the water pump and valve cover gaskets and bolts like they recommended and they are still re-leaking.

 

No offense to anyone on this board, and I know in some of the new manuals Audi recommends oil changes every 10k miles, but I would NEVER wait that long between changes. Yes I know today's synthetics are great wont break down for light years, but the oil gets dirty. It may not break down but it gets dirty. That's part of its job. To collect dirt. To lubricate and collect dirt. In America we change our oil way to often. 3
K miles is crazy but 10k is crazier! I do between 5-7 with Amsoil or Mobile 1 0-40. Especially with the direct injection engines that leave carbon build up and apparently have some sludge issues. I'm at 145k miles on my 05 3.2. Still runs like its new.. JMO. Thanks everyone and happy motoring. Viva Audi!

 

Just hit 170,000 with my 2005 2.5........still purring like a kitten!!!!

 

116,450 on my 03 A 6 quattro. Runs like a champ! I bought it 3 months ago.everything works! Po didnt smoke ! It was a woman and her long fingernails removed alot of the paint on the headlight control easy fix! Other than that car looks inside and out like new! I paid $5000 for it and Im happy! I willhave to replace cats but thats common repair.

 

I wonder what the documented record milage is for an A6?
