Default 2000 B5 A4 Wipers

Ok,
What's the deal?
I just ran up 194,000 miles on the odometer this week on the 1.8T and still the original wiper blades??? Still the original clutch??? What gives? Why won't these things just die?
Oh yeah, and besides the regular replacement of timing belts, water pumps, radiator, ball joints and control arms, this car is still running great!

Yeah...kind of funny that so many seem to have money pits when it comes to Audi's but then you have other stories of people that have barely dropped a dime on theirs.

Doing Great here dude. How is NY treating you?
I'm about to be blowing about 200 lbs of sand from the plow trucks out of my driveway and front lawn over to my neighbors side of the street tomorrow if it isn't down pouring rain. LOL.

WTF? I see a silver car in your sig, not gold? Same 6 cyl? of course still the same Asian driver, LOL..
Mine is the same, a few synthetic oil changes, new spark plugs, one new coil pack, and the driver seat is starting to rip open. Still has good power and starts every morning.
Here's to 250K miles (as he raises his glass of bourbon).

same car. just looks a bit different. if you're driver's seat is starting to rip you need to lose some weight hehe. you got any plans after this engine? V8 or another AWM and build the old one?

No, I'll just run it to the ground, treating it my best till it gets there.
I'm still not sure of what car/SUV is next on my list.
(Still the same weight as 4 years ago.)
