As long as you service your car regularly it can run for a looong time. Things tend to get expensive if you wait as long as you can

It has no DPF and the last smoke reading was 0.03 compared to the pass limit of 3.0, at nearly 300k miles, and the top's never been off the engine except for one glow plug.

Yeah

Had a 2001 A4 b5 1.9 tdi with 190.000 km on the meter. It drove like a charm and ran great! I found out later the meter had been worked on, so it had at least 450.000 km’s. Drove like new. Had 2.0 TDI’s with half that mileage which needed new turbo’s, heads, etc etc, not to speak of the newer petrol engines…

My buddy loves Audi vehicles. I am sending him this video. (:

I love these high mileage videos! Please get it serviced, repaired and detail it. Bring this car back to its former glory!!

Fix it up and show it to the owner like the skoda :D

A friend of mine who is an ex VaG engineer browsed my 360,000mile T5 on the computer and noticed a few discrepancies, in the odometer, but nothing on the MoT, it had been clocked back on a yearly basis to offset its immense yearly mileage as a taxi, he told me he wouldn’t be surprised if it had done double the mileage. I payed £3500 for this van with no service history and damp from being “hose cleaned inside and out” it served me for 10 years without trouble and is now a delivery van for the local chippy on the original 2.5 PD engine and gearbox, I shamelessly towed triple axle trailers all round Europe and hauled my family of 6 EVERYWHERE

This thing has basically made it to the moon and back and is in relatively good condition what a great car!

Much like the other comments, give it a new lease of life, have the two high mileage heroes together. I love 00's VAG.

I’d love to see a high mileage episodes on “JR” really good car 🚗

Interesting what he says about more corrosion occurring on the left hand side. Here in Ontario Canada we drive on the right, but we still see excess corrosion on the left side of vehicles. I'd say that's because of all the 80 km/h 2 way roads we have here, meaning that oncoming traffic splashes brine and salt onto the car's left side. Also, the semi trucks (you call them lorrys) are much heavier than in Europe so the splash is pretty big when you pass an oncoming semi when traffic is going 80-100 km/h both ways.

Brakes, suspension and a tensioner is normal wear and tear. A lot of the cost here is down to previous accident damage and not the astronomical mileage.

I have a VAG vehicle with 300k on the clock with no major issues. The key things to a high high mileage (diesel): - Don’t do short trips (My shortest journeys were 50miles) - Service on time (dealer or good independent) - Do the miles in the 10 years of the vehicles life - Use good quality oil and diesel, coupled with genuine parts when it comes to the engine, suspension and brakes. - Don’t be gentle on the 1.6 TDI! I am still on my first DPF, I think because I keep the engine properly used.

I had an 1998 a6 estate and a couple of things killed it. First, water ingress via pollen filter/windscreen base, which, despite me constantly ensuring drain holes in plenum chamber were kept clear, allowed heavy rain to overwhelm the drains. The front and rear passenger floor filled up with water and proved hard to dry out completely. Secondly, numerous oil leaks from the 2.4 v6 engine, at around 110,000 miles, which always caused a smell of oily burning in the car. Thirdly, rear subframe suffered severe corrosion and allowed shocks to almost detach, fourthly, the tiptronic 5 spd gearbox had a habit of refusing to get out of park in very hot weather. I had the car for nearly 18 year and maintained it regardless of cost. To it's credit, it had the same original exhaust system throughout, as I never took it for a journey of less than 10 miles.

I want to see another full restoration like Miles!!!

I love to see high mileage cars that have been taken good car of. It warms my heart. Keep it going and repair it! It deserves it.

Love the mention of nut covers. Those things get launched in a random Direction any time I change a tyre

Loves these audis

These are among the most reliable Audi's ever made. The Audi A4 B6 was a new design. The body is galvanized so as long as there is no damage it will never rust. The suspension is improved over the earlier models so it lasts much longer. The diesel (PD, pumpeduse) engines are perfect as long as you don't have injector problems. Only old mercedes diesels and the older vw diesels(vorkammer) are even more reliable and cheaper to repair. The petrol engines are also quite good. Not too fancy, not too complicated. The interior is made of very strong fabrics which stay good even after years of useage. Only the paint on the knobs wears off, but this can be replaced. Downsides are the little space on the back seats. Also the weight. Fuel consumption on petrol engines is high compared to modern standards. The drive is based mostly on comfort.

Maybe... it's still among the most borring and uncomfortable cars ever made, the seats are plain simply build in concret and the suspension feels like they use solid steel shafts as dampers :/ Couple that with the fact that those cars handle like supertankers and are as intresting to drive as a bus ride and you got yourself one of the most overpriced, overhyped cars ever. Realy you could get the same reliability with a peugeot 406 1..9 Turbo D (before the HDI engine) and it would be way better to own.

@@Alystas Comfort is a very personal thing. Some like soft seats, some like hard seats etc. Boring? It's timeless, classy and not too obnoxious. Ok ok, I agree, now that it's so old it looks very dull. Really a car for old people. Especially in silver. The dampers are not stiff, it's not a BMW. Maybe you drove one with aftermarket wheels? With the factory wheels it's comfortable. And yes, it drives like a supertanker. Very predictable, safe. Many people like that. The Peugeot diesels before HDI where very reliable. But they are slow and use much more fuel then the Audi engine. The HDI is actuallly a very nice and smooth engine. But they need proper care to last long. In the end it comes down to taste and money. I had a Rover 620 which was a rebranded Honda Accord. It was the best car I ever owned. That engine just begged for full speed even when cold. It just kept going.

The 2.5 TDI from the 2003/2004 are trash. Even the actual vag workshops couldnt get the engine to Work properly after the Diesel Pump failed. Also the injectors are almost always leaking. And putting a new diesel Pump in Costs you more than buying another used whole car. Old German cars before 2000 are unbeatable, but when the electronic era started everything went downhill tbh
