I know the Audi gods will punish me for this...here is longevity info...your 
results will vary..use, abuse etc.  

Current mileage 220,600 driven daily...Never stranded due to mechanical 
failure and burns little to no oil between changes.

       Original:
             clutch / AC compressor / alternator / bomb / creature comfort 
electronics
             starter / Turbo / MAF / injectors
       Replaced:
             2 tie rod assemblies / 2 rear control arms / 1 coil
             1 POS / Clutch master cyl / O2 sensor / struts 
             Cam position sensor (preventative) /
             3 timing belts and water pumps / 1 valve cover gasket
       Maintenance:
             Mobile One every 5K miles
             Brakes / Rotors / Tires
             Maintenance schedule stuff
       Needs:
             A couple of bulbs in the dash and the CC temp light replaced
             Sunroof control demonic exorcisim / HIDs
             More performance stuff...maybe

I am amazed every day with the service the car continues to give.  My biggest 
decision will happen when a major component goes at this mileage.  Fish with 
updates or cut bait to the next Audi...

occasionaly desired.
