Pros: very long lasting

A4 b8.5 with 175k on it, only problem I had was a seized brake caliper.
Have carried out preventative maintenance though, so check your timing belt/water pump. Replaced control arms on the front and brakes.
The rest is just regular service and oil change religiously at 6k miles

Audi A4
Mileage: 175000 km
Currently own a ‘15 S3 with 130k+ miles. Nothing really major to report for me outside of some known common issues with this generation (water pump, PODS, etc). Car has been great and honestly easy to maintain if you can DIY oil changes, brakes, and DSG fluid changes.
Pros: easy to maintain
Cons: known common issues
Vehicle:
Audi S3
Mileage: 130000 km
Front axels, timing chain and tensioner, and that’s it for 80,000 miles. I thought the timing chain problem was addressed by Audi. Nope. But love it and it runs great.
Pros: runs great
Cons: timing chain problem

Audi A4
Mileage: 80000 km
120k miles on my 2015 a3 with a stage 1 tune. I did timing belt, tensioner, and water pump around 100k miles. Costed me like $1k. Also did spark plugs and a new battery, which was another $600.

That's why I sold my GTI and got an R. You need to invest in the Audi/mk8 subframe, a pendulum mount, engine mounts, and better tires.
Pros: better handling, more grip

I had the same issue on my 2019 A6 3.0 last year. Two times I had to pop into the dealership to have oil removed (no charge) and the issue was due to dilution and short trips.
Pros: no charge
Cons: oil dilution, short trips
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Since Audi clearly makes water pumps on presumably a $50 3d printer, would it make any sense at all to buy an upgraded one, metal or whatever won’t do whatever oem ones love to, and preemptively change out ?
Cons: poor OEM quality, prone to failure

I had mine done on my 2018 S4 from an Audi dealer in PA. Cost me $3,928 total. They replaced the water pump and hoses, coolant regulating valve, vacuum control valves and lines, and the serpentine valve. The water pump is what failed and took everything else with it.
Cons: water pump failed, took other parts
Vehicle:
Audi S4
After just snapping one in my Audi A4 B7, I had to rebuild that entire head. Total pain in the ass. The factory belt lasted 15 years, 175k miles before it let go.
Cons: engine damage, difficult rebuild
