Lots of folks want to know how these cars hold up.
Changed rear brake pads today @ 141,617 miles.
Stock A4 (knock on wood)
Stock 10 bolt (ditto)
Engine internals stock.
Yank TC been in car at least 90,000 miles.
Here's my endorsement of PowerSlot rotors, been on fronts
for about 107,000 miles through several sets of pads.
Admittedly, most of my driving is highway.
Car has been raced many,many times but never at track.
Shooting for 200,000 on engine b4 I upgrade.

My motor made it to 194,000 before it started knocking and I had to rebuild it. Im hoping to get another 200,000 out of it.

Mine is about to turn 88k and will probably turn 100k by the end of the year, seems to be holding up really well, the only major maintenance item has been the thermostat goin out at about 75k and the window motors at about 83

Who ever said american cars dont last!?
