Lots of people are leaving this forum because of 'mods' personal views- which dont really reflect the majority or members views.
America- Uk -- cultural differences are rife- but- I have as yet to hear anyone but mods complaining .
Take a step back and maybe think 'outside the box' now and again.
Nothing at all is said in nastiness at all.
Some really good helpful members have left this forum because of the reasons I've mentioned .
Lets not lose any more please .
Regards,
Pete

Could you please contact myself or Stuart via PM to discuss these issues in more depth - I'm genuinely (both) concerned and confused by your comments.

Pete, as a new member unfamiliar with the club's tools, would you kindly assist me by putting my 1997 A4 at the very top of the Audi high mileage list where it so rightly belongs?

Respectfully,
Don

Don, I maintain the high mileage charts and it would be my pleasure to add you to the top. As soon as I have a free hour or so I will update accordingly.

If you have the time, would you be willing to start a new thread (in the A4 B5 section) to tell your story in more depth?

My car is known throughout Audi.

Yes, Rupert Statler knows well this car.

It is the subject of An upcoming video from Audi.

Stay tuned and stop laughing.

Don

Hi again Don,
Any news on the Video ? Cant wait to see it-- may restore my faith in Audis .
Meanwhile- I'm still creeping up to 150k--and at 3k a year --gotta a feeling I'll run out of years first.

Pete

My 1994 audi 80 tdi avant is at 265,000 and still going strong

**DamJamco** · 07-12-2011,08:41 AM

An update on my 2002 Audi A4 1.9TDi. It has now covered 211000 miles without a clutch change (although I will be replacing it soon just in case). It still gets around 55mpg combined. I'm going to have the injectors refurbished soon as well. With regular servicing I expect this car to keep on going. This is one of the best cars (and most reliable)I have ever owned. I plan on keeping it, as with a new double din satnav,DVD, Bluetooth, reverse parking sensors etc, it's as good as any new model out there.

Update

Have just touched 180k going strong !

**ruggedscot** · 01-01-2012,11:03 PM

Im sitting with 92k and feel like a youngster here lol !

I think that the trade in for this would be on the lowish side now so Im thinking on keeping it for as long as I can keep it now - Im looking to do at least 200k and would like some advice on what I should be doing to keep the car on the road until then.

Its not restricted to short runs as I do a few long runs was doing around 50 miles or so each day until recently think that is going to drop to around 15 but ill still be going on reasonably long trips a few times a month...
