1999 A4 159k needs driver side upper back control arm.

 

Greetings once again! I recently was out of the Audi game due to some poor decisions, but alas, I'm back again I just acquired a 1999 B5 A4 1.8t. I love it more than my last one, mostly due to the fact that this is my FIRST turbo, or forced induction if you prefer, experience/purchase. It currently has 217,000 miles on it. Starting to work out some kinks that I've noticed but, the previous owner did install the ecs front suspension upgrade and outer tie rod ends. Smooth sailing as far as the ride goes. Love my car.

 

247,850 miles, still the original unmolested engine, turbo and transmission. No gasket has ever been replaced, except for the usual stuff during timing belt/water pump/thermostat maintenance.

I did upgrade the ignition coils and replace the coil harness. Oh and I run 550cc injectors too. I also did a bunch of emissions delete (SAI, N249, vacuum reservoir) which seems to help a lot with preventing mysterious CEL issues.

Running a decent tune for the last year, and I frequently drive aggressively to redline and around 21psi of boost. Burns maybe 3/4 of a quart of oil every 5000 miles.

LCD was replaced with an OEM one last year, so it's perfect. Same tearing on the driver's seat as everyone else, but I've got an estimate from a shop for getting both front seats redone with custom leather in the near future.

Other than that, everything works flawlessly. It's almost like owning a brand new car.

 

1997 Audi A4, 2.8/ 5 speed. 395,000 miles. Passes almost anything in 5th gear UPHILL.

 

It's great to see others having little to no troubles with there high mileage Audi's. I would love to here from some 1.8T owners. IF you like post on NEW TO 1.8T thanks.

 

I feel like a piker at only 160,000 on mine. No big problems. I did replace the front suspension a few months ago to get rid of some clicks and clunks. No biggie. No codes, no problems. Oil change every 7-10,000 miles with full synthetic and a Big Kahuna oil filter. Trans oil and filter change a few thou back. Gotta do an axle boot here shortly. Really a good reliable little wagon! Love it. Probably get another 100,000 out it before it goes tango uniform.

 

I think I'm at 187k, it may be closer to 188k. I have no sunroof, so that's not a problem.
I have cloth seats, so that's not a problem. I just changed the timing belt, waterpump, and
thermostat last weekend. Was going to change the right front axle but was sent an axle for
an automatic. Mine is a manual. My front cup holder does not work. I have a car phone in the
arm rest that I've never tried to use. And an antenna sticking out the top of my back window
that goes w/ it. My paint is peeling so I'll prob touch up some spots w/ clear and plasti dip the
hood and roof. Flat black, or course. My check engine light turned itself off. Again.

 

Ya, don't do that. Flat black on a painted car=rice

 

You run 550cc injectors on a k03? What fpr are you running? I can't imagine why you would want to do that, your injectors would either cycle extremely slowly and make your car idle/run funny or you are running rather rich/bad gas mileage

 

165,000 on my 2000 1.8t manual. Just had to do an oil pump though...among many other things.
