My Audi experience.
Posted by lutesk on May 25, 2007 at 11:56:26:
I purchased my A4 in July 98, so it's almost 9 years old with 148K on it.
Turbo went out at 10K, replaced under warranty, no biggie.
Coil out at 35k, replaced under warranty, no biggie.
Problem free until 110K when clutch went out. $900 repair bill.
Airbag light comes on at 120K, requiring a new airbag, also need a new throttle body and thermostat, about $1400.
Busted water pump 2 weeks ago, requiring timing belt, tensioners, etc. $800 repair bill.
I guess if you factor my out of pocket over the 9 years of ownership, it's not too bad, but these recent repair bills have me thinking about getting something else, though there's nothing I really want. My car still looks great and drives like a dream.
Vinyl is final
