Live in Canada, driven year round, have an 05 Avant 3.2 from new. Now at 242,000km (151,000miles). Brief summary:routine maintenance, then in 08, rear diff leak;09, replaced Serpentine belt and tensioner,ignition coils (recall item for coils);2012, replaced power steering pump and upper radiator hose (it broke off spontaneously);2013, replaced both daytime running light units bec they overheated and melted the unit/bulb receptacles, front upper control arms and lower sway bars of front suspension; 2014, replaced brake vacuum pump bec of slow oil leak, replaced low pressure fuel pump (in tank) as preventive measure;2015 just replaced valve cover gaskets bec leaking oil onto spark plugs. Check engine light for high pressure fuel pump just illuminated but after manual reset, has been fine for a week now. Have been using VW fuel injector cleaner(added to fuel) every 8,000km and they seem to be working fine. Hopefully car will run well for a few more years until possibly a new Avant or A4 variant arrives.

Only 114K on my 06 Avant but just started to feel a driveline vibration a few days back at 65mph and higher. I hope it's not the prop shaft (had to replace that in my C5). Audi re-balanced the tires and of course that didn't correct anything. Other than that, replaced rear liftgate motors/struts/latch (covered by Audi), cracked thermostat housing, timing chain cover oil leaks, replaced center brake light, bluetooth module. CD player is hanging and resetting but I don't use it much.

Clicked over 220k km's this morning.
Still going strong, just one small oil leak that Audi said was an expensive fix as the whole front end has to come off, or so I was told.......

What's that symbol in front of "am" near the clock?

HK-Steve

That is for the clock, RF synchronization.

I have 220K miles on my 06 3.2. Nothing major to report just changing oil every 5k. Still on originall battery
Trans fluid never changed nor diff and transfercase. De carboned engine around 130k Still shifts great and has plenty of power. Only thing that went bad is the gps antenna and the vaccum actuator for the intake manifold. Recently my starter went and I have to change the valve cover gaskets as they started leaking. Thats all.

Are you the original owner of the car?

blackfxgt

No I am the second owner and I purchased it back in 2010 with 120k
