I am looking at buying a 1997 Audi A4 1.8t with 137k miles. It comes with a powertrain warranty that covers axles, transmission, and engine but will that be enough? i heard Audi tends to have a lot of problems and will this warranty cover those problems? thanks.

 

I doubt the warranty covers any maintenance items. I would find out if it covers the timing belt w/o it actually failing. Also suspension like control arms and tie rod ends probably are not covered.

 

my 95 A6 has 251,600 something thousand miles on it, I just did struts and an axle because I KNOW shew will give me at least another 50k ...... if you are a DYI'er reliability is not a problem, besides you can say you drive and Audi, man. Sheesh lol
