hello everyone, i am 24 years old and a graduate of mechanical engineering and works as mechanical engineer in an aerospace and military defence company. I am driving right now my 06 Passat 2L Turbo and want to upgrade soon and get an Audi, specifically an S4 or A4 between the years 2009-2012.

I have been owning my Passat for 3 years now and it has never been to a mechanic, i have always serviced it and fixed it myself when it breaks down. just recently changed my front axles and bearings and before that i had changed my Vehicle Output Speed Sensor in the valve body. I do not have enough money and if i did i wouldn't wanna go ahead and spend 700$ and more sometimes for jobs i can do myself in my garage. SO WHAT im saying is that i love fixing and servicing my own car;

NOW I want to get an AUDI S4 2009 or 2010 and it will have to be in the higher milage (150k to 200k) and my question is how hard it is to service them,

BECAUSE one of my friends told me that fixing and servicing cars like S line cars or bmw M cars is so hard and told me that it is different and can't fix **** myself at home. how true is that?

so my question is if i am getting an audi s4 2009 that has a milage of 200k for example, what issues would i expect to go thru and whats common on these cars to fail in that range. and isn't it im supposing like all other cars but maybe some tweeks here and there to hinder anyone from messing with it. But i am guessing i should be able to service it and do fixing jobs on it when it breaks and all.


thanks
