Who has the largest mileage on their A2?

Paul - that's amazing. Mine is at 37,000 miles and I often wonder what will be the first thing to go...but from what you have said, it's very reassuring that the major parts will last for a long time.

Mine with 28.000 miles every I think what will be the next thing to broke down!
After two years the interior feels like a 10 year Audi. Lots of rattles and now dashboard lights flashs like a Xmas tree! :-(
(This, could of course, be related to two complete dashboard disasembles that took place last year to solve a major ratle on the gear box)
On the mechanical side, the brakes pads were replaced due to excessive wear at 9.000 miles (Amazing! the warranty do not cover this since its a wear part, although it was replaced to soon! The news ones are still going... almost 20.000 miles later).
One other downside are the frequent service stops. Due to not using the varible service option every 9500 Miles I had to go in for a pit stop.

In terms of MGP, the best I ever had was 53mpg.
Amazing is the 70mpg most of you did (what average speed did you do to get such a value?)

Tire wear is not noticeble. The Michelin XV2 are less than half spent after 28.000 miles.

Hope it helps.
Cheers,
A2day

just under 60,000 on ours, had a new set of tyres at 52,000, had one free service @ 32k have a 60k service just around the corner.

Is also going to need new disc & pads & presumably brake fluid change.

No rattles, & trim etc looks like new, has been reliable, but for little niggles, like windows keep going up and down occasionally by themselves.

As for mpg, we get 60mpg, that's mostly motorways at around 80mph which I think is ok, I'm sure at 70, we'd get extra mpg's.

Well, I think we could do with some info from the A2 driver from Reading.
In today's Exchange & Mart (9-16th Sept), the only A2 advertised is a TDi SE, Y-plate, at £4950. The reason? It's done 158,000 miles 'continetal commuting'. It can only have done one cold start!
 
3yrs old, did about 22k, had one service. Next service due in 500 miles, says the computer! New tyres at 21k because of unrepairable puncture at rear (should last another 10k) and worn out fronts. 1.4 petrol, usually around 35mpg because I'm stuck in the congestion charge zone. Part city part motorway drive this week gave me around 40 - 42mpg. Still can't comfortably cover 300M with one tank....

No major problems apart from one back seat got stuck (now fixed) and got bumped in to the driver side front door by careless teenage driver. Its aluminum, so you have to take it back to audi or the only garage that does aluminum cars in Milton Keynes. The useless workshop (one of H.R. Owen's workshop for a london audi branch) couldn't repair the very minor dent (its the aluminum!) and had to install a new panel ...sigh... I now love and hate aluminum.

Other then that, condition of the car is amazing after 3yrs. Interior looks brand new after cleaning the dust and dirt. Everythings works. The Bose is still firing heavy bass from its subwoofer at the back. Only some normal creases and tireness on the leather seats and the gear nob gave away its age. Build quality is excellent. If I remember, there was a megazone which took an used A2 apart and said it should last forever, only converns are the push rods for the boot door and perhaps the door seals.
