[mikeito]

[james04si]

Picked up mine new december of 04. Its got 113k miles on it now. Ive done the basic oil changes, checked valve lash at 100k(was still good no changes nessecary and no cam galling issues either) put some new brakes on at 95k, tranny fluid change at 75k, and a new starter at 105k.

[USAF EP3]

I haven't done any major servicing as of yet either. Other than the usual tune up, i.e. plugs, oil, trans fluid, coolant, brakes, etc.

It's been holding up well with boost and I'm surprised. I haven't dont a valve job or check, but it seems that when I bought the car it was previously done, don't know by whom but you don't hear any kind of valve ticking whatsoever. Even so, I'm still getting 29-31 MPG if I keep my foot out of the pedal which is amazing at this mileage as well, I guess I just have to count my lucky stars for the first owner before me for taking such good care of the car.

I'm split between actually doing the recommended servicing and prolonging the life of the engine, or waiting until I finish my swap/build and just not service the A3.

At this mileage it's timing chain, tensioner, and water pump. If I'm going to be messing with the timing chain, I'm going vtec killer with my A2 cams I got laying around lol.

I never mentioned it but my car is an '05. Sucks driving so much, it's approx. 25 miles one way from home to base.

nope, just going to be hitting up junkyards for k24s if worse comes to worse

[Aliperon]

219000km or 137000mi on my 02 bought it about a year ago with 187km on the clock, still runs perfect doesnt burn a drop of oil!

[doubledouble]

Purchased mine with 141k on the till. Just lapped 142k. Runs like a top. Tons of rattles and squeals here and there though. lol.

[Tougeep3]

Who in the HELL told you that?? 100K service on this car is just an oil change and tire rotation.
At 110K it's an oil change, rotation, spark plugs, check valve clearance..

of course there is all the other maintenance you should be doing anyway. Air & cabin filters every 30K, brake & clutch fluid every 3 years, coolant @ 10yrs/120K and 5rys/60K afterwards, Transmission fluid @ 60K/120K.. Don't agree with all of the intervals but they designed/engineered the car.

[bizzle]

I hit 120k a day or two ago. Bought it in December 2010 with 112k.

[Tortoise]

Congrats man! Wish i made it even half way to 100k!

[NL 1]

things just keep runnin. bought the car in 06 with 17k miles on it..its a 2005 i know have 123k miles on it with out a major problem.
