Hi just got my hands on a very very tidy 1 owner 1999 a6 1.8t c5 blue with cream leather runs like a dream so far big service history with it so happy about that every stamp up to date 135,00 inc gearbox and clutch replacement at main ******* also abs controller eye watering prices on the invoices lol I am not new to vw range I have a B5 Passat as a taxi 1.9 td awx engine now with 405,000 miles on her and no its not a typo lol been to the moon and bk a few times had my eyes on this one from a customer for a few years now so quite happy hes decided to part with it I now have decent non taxi to drive and enjoy at long last ;)

Compared to the one with the 405'000miles on it, the 135'000 is still only Baby,,,,and I am very happy to hear that such milage is achievable, because I bought an A6 1.9 with AVN engine,also with 135'000 miles done,year 2003. Still, even here on the Forum, 405'000 miles must be up there amongst highest recorded? What was your secret? Aside from frequent oil changes? And what was the worst problems you had with it?
Good luck with the " New " one 😀
