149k on my 2000 and this week was the first major maintenance in a while :)
Timing Belt, Water Pump, Rear Wheel Bearing, Starter.
Last service was installation of Tyrolsport UG SMIC in April, 2007. Otherwise it's been coilpacks, spark plugs and oil changes for the last 36,000 miles.
Next up is the radiator (leaking) and pass front axle.
Smooth sailing - I'm gonna hit 250k with this car!

117K | 99.5 1.8T. Running better than ever these last few days...
as it should, since it just recieved a timing belt kit, waterpump, crank seal, 034 street density trans and motor mounts, air filter, all control arms and hardware replaced along with a set of bilstein sports and H&R race springs. It's been a spendy albeit fullfilling couple of weeks.

131k | '01 1.8tqm ....... 68k | 00' 2.8qm.. Both in good shape.
Obviously a good deal more time/energy/money goes into the newer, but higher mileage, 1.8t.
Its always fun to drive the other one now and then. A friendly reminder of how a "normal" suspension should feel (about 85% less jarring bumps), granted the downsides are readily apparent in any corners, acceleration/deceleration --> squat and dive horrible, and this is with less powerful 2.8. I will admit his tranny shifts buttery smooth, probably b/c half the miles, no short shifter, and OEM clutch (while SB 3 is not too bad, def. much rougher engagement than OEM w/68k)
