Subject: Straw Poll: How Dependable is Your 200q20v ?

I asked myself that question this weekend before I had to drive about 2  
hours..with over 216,000 on the odometer (it stopped working), I wouldn't  
hesitate to make that trip again.

That may have been this vehicle's real weakness. I had a couple of doosies:  
once the alternator failed in rush hour traffic on the interstate with no  
place to pull over to, and the car coasted to a halt!; once the fuel tank  
fill hose failed at the tank inlet, which caused me to trail fuel until the  
smell, and gas gauge going down, forced me to pull over, bringing the fire  
Dept to assist; once the air conditioning failed on a wicked hot day and I  
was traveling the interstate, so windows down was not the way to go; the  
electrical gremlins struck the functioning of the speedometer, which while  
it didn't affect the drivability, it was a pain in the ass; I had to replace  
the rack and the PS pump due to seal failures, a major issue for every  
single one of these period Audis at some point in time; in short,  
reliability was not a strong suit, in my opinion, except for the core  
driveline, which never caused me a problem. Interior issues like window  
regulators and door lock mechanisms 
 and window switches and the Bose speakers all plagued my vehicle. I've  
probably forgotten some more?!

But it drove like a bat out of hell! I've done 130 in it, and that was  
purely stock. 

Oh well, moving on...
