High Mileage Poll..
I have a 98 A6 (2.8QT) original eng/trans, with a few suspension mods. Mileage: 167,000+ currently, with three trans-oil changes and two pump/belt jobs so far (owned since 83,000 miles).
What is your ride up to so far?

at 167K I have good news for my forum mates:
I MUST BE NUTS keepin her at this mileage, but the damned thing runs and runs and doesn't quit. Still fast as a 3900 lb car can be and no leaks.. (knock-knock).
REPAIR LIST:After 83K of course.
Three trans-oil changes
two water pumps/belts services
Steering pump and outlet hose.
Front suspension arms and shocks/springs
Headlamps (road pitted)
Paint respray anticipated
1 windshield
2 power window clips (1 ea pass/driver side).
18 oil changes.
2 brake fluid changes
2 Coolant flushes.
2 sets of tires.
1 set of wheels.
Not bad for an old car.
Since the chassis seems solid and the interior and main paint is good, I may swap the engine/trans and finally S/C it.
