My 1.8t Audi got up to 258k and everyone gets amazed but they don't understand these cars aside from electrical problems are bullet proof. With some preventative maintenance of course
MILES..? that's impressive....my 1997 A4 B5 ( ADR motor )1.8 (non turbo ) has 552,000 km on the clock. Engine still smooth. Chucking oil onto the plugs, but still accelerates decently.
I love my 2002 GTI 1.8 T. 221,000 miles and still showing no signs of age. Stood up to all the beatings a 17-year-old puts their car through and never complained. Still Original clutch, too! Also, had a chance to finger the turbo while replacing down pipe, and still no play in the bearings at all. I think VW made a hell of an engine, As long as you do the maintenance properly, and fork out a little extra cash for synthetic oil and the timing belt/water pump change every hundred thousand miles
2001 audit a6 2.8l quattro, 205,000 miles, frantz bypass oil filter mounted in front of radiator, new timing belt, new control arms, alternator, transmission service, runs perfectly, torquey engine eats up hills at 1200 to 2000 rpm in 5th (tiptronic), everyone still comments on how cool it looks, and it looks old lol! needs: drivers window regulator, stereo receiving no power?, some little pieces inside to be replaced, torn seats. Big rains or snows? you are glad you own an audi quattro!
I have the awp in my gti also has stage 2 tune with the 5 speed and she got 215,000 and she get redlined daily no engine codes or nothing when u well maintain this engine she bulletproof
Fantastic set of wheels there fella, I'm lovin that self changing oil feature! Great review, it made me laugh more than watching those guys on Top Gear :-)
The 1.8t was a damn good engine. They're only unreliable because lots of people like the give them 260+bhp. Low power economy ones like this are just as reliable as the 1.9 tdi and so on
CJBMAGGOT94 only issue those engines had was that they weren't designed for the illiterate and ignorant north american ford-driver. not a single one of those 1.8T engines has ever developed sludge being driven on 5w-40 Castrol or some other brand oil. not one!
I have a mk4 golf gti with the agu engine. The last code i had was "engine rev limit exceeded. Engine warranty void" whoops. 120k miles, mapped etc, abused daily.
ueg1974 an automatic from this era may not last all that long because the tiptronic wasn’t the best. my 2004 a4 has 190k miles and it has gone through a transmission already (on #2 now) so keep that in mind.
You should bring this car to Scotty Kilmer in Tennesse. He'd probably still be in denial and come up with an excuse and regurgitate that they're endless money pits and wave those hands.
you can check the code at advance auto parts or any other auto parts store for free. get the fault code, look it up and deal with it. Also , what a shame to keep the seat like that! at least put a seat cover. That's laziness, nothing else
Do you own an audi? The auto parts stores around here cannot run diags using thier generic OBDII readers on this Audi; I have to take it to the dealership for that. My intention, every since the factory warranty expired, was to put as few dollars into the car and see how far it would go. With that said, I'm certain the check engine light is related to the fact that the orginal O2 sensors are still installed on the car. You are mistaking laziness for an experiment.
I' have a very similar car audi a4 1999 same colour but 1.9 tdi and I laugh when I saw your trim had came off mines just hit 231000 miles and I lost the trim
@@kjones1228 oh my god you replied Considering the video is super old I was surprised I have a 2006 A4, B7, and currently at 245452, and was definitely curious. Any new problems?
245K, nice. The only thing that has been done on mine since the video was that I had the clutch fan replaced. It was stuck open when I made the video (had been for about a year) and you can actually hear it when I rev up the motor with the door open. So she drives even better now than before.. I think I'll treat her to a proper oil change soon :) Only regret is putting in that darn aftermarket radio. I would recommend against it on a B5.
So, a single annual oil change? Based on this video, you're at just over 450,000 miles and it's a '99, so that's a bit over 26,500 miles a year. Doing a 26,000 mile oil change must not be fun. I daily an '00 Audi A6 2.8 Quattro and I do about 3500 miles a year for the past few years (used to be higher). She's at about 113,000 right now, and I do two changes every year - one in the spring and one in the fall. Originally rated for 5W-40 or 5W-30, but due to climate and needs, I've been running 0W-30 full synthetic oil from Ravenol. Doesn't burn or use oil, or if it does it's a completely negligible amount as it's never really below the full line on the dipstick. Even though I'm on the cautious side, I won't be running my little A6 more than 5000 per change. She's getting up there in age, and every little bit I can do to make sure she's on the road for a long, long time counts. Glad that you're still keeping her running with all these miles and after all this time, but I strongly recommend addressing the small things and giving it a bit of aesthetic TLC - she can still look good and run like new for a while to come, I imagine.
brilliant, none of this rubbish about religiously servicing your car, just keep driving it until something needs replacing, and no need to change the oil for a couple of years, I've always wondered why I kept sending my wife's SMax to the garage for a service every 13000 miles, clearly this was unnecessary and its only covered 186000 miles so it should be OK for a million miles or so, many thanks, very entertaining video!
"check engine light is on, I keep checking it, but it looks fine to me".. you sir are hilarious...

Exactly besides the wears and tears they run well German cars are built differently than American cars
Bullet proof my ass 😭
"self-changing oil" LMAO.

Metal rear coolant flange on these is a must.
I have a 2005 gti 177 runs great. I have a 99 2.0 golf with 220k.
1.8t engine is unbreakable
Said no one ever
very very wrong😂
You can break it. All you need to do is up the boost by about 1.5 bar and drive it like you stole it.
Not unbreakable, but it's pretty stout.
Check engine light: I am tired as fuck!
Does your meat retainer still work? If so use it!
Love it. What's the mileage now?
so its 5 years later hows it doing now
nice! I have a 2001 A4 1.8t as well with 230k miles. I'm on my second timing belt change. Still runs great! send an update when you reach 500k

What’s the update on the miles on this car now? Still going?
Hi
How many miles on, your car now ??
i have an 02 a4 1.8t and i had a snapon pc hooked up to mine to cleaar an old code and i had one for "no signal to radio" so might be a step for yea
Don’t give car advice please
I guess you had to rebuild the transmission already right ?
There is one in France with 1000000 kms or 600000 miles
petrol ?

I have a 1.8T and its good for what it is. Its been reliable and its reasonably torque-y for such small engine. But its hardly amazing.
That was awesome. :)
How’s the car now? If you cracked 500k with it vw should’ve given you a free rebuild/refresh or something hahaha
She still running?
would 2000 model year a4 1.8t quattro do this milage?
Chill step studz only one way to find out
what is your secret to having a car last 450,000 miles?
my car, 2006 Nissan Altima, a mere 75,000 miles at the end of January 2017.
Nissans are real bad now. As soon as they stopped being ugly they got mechanically bad.
i wonder how many miles you drive per year
you still have this ?
its got self changing oil
That’s amazing
Is it still alive ?
minttttt
it sounds like a 6.3 v8
Please change your oil and filter
this is me
Early 1.8t's especially in longitudinal cars have major sludge issues! The least you should do is change the oil every 10k miles with synthetic.
CJBMAGGOT94 only issue those engines had was that they weren't designed for the illiterate and ignorant north american ford-driver. not a single one of those 1.8T engines has ever developed sludge being driven on 5w-40 Castrol or some other brand oil. not one!
0W-40 Mobil 1 meets tge VAG spec and works great in these engines.
Hell ya nice !
You still driving the Audi i got 1 same as yours with 243 + miles on it an sounds like new I was wandering how many miles they last
