My 100K Coyote with some service history
#41
I have 54,000 on my 2014 and plan on driving it for another 11 years, my planned retirement. I figure by then it will be close to 160,000. I hope it makes it that far without issue. I don't drive it very hard and do regular oil changes and all on it.
The brakes have always squealed either when going slow or hitting the brakes harder if I need to stop. It annoys me but I don't have any plans to do anything about it.
I also get water in the rear quarters in heavy rain driving. I hear it sloshing for a few days depending on how much gets in.
I wish the A6 shifted quicker like a real sports car, probably my only real complaint with the drive train.
I looked at a new Camaro 1SS but the trunk was much smaller. The car was considerably quicker and their automatic shifts like a real sports car, and has paddle shifters. But the trunk and $$$ killed it for me.

186,000 miles today. Passed state inspection this past summer and got two year tags which may take me to retirement, guestimating ~236K by then, we'll see. Definitely saw reduced miles this past year with about 4 months of work from home and I try to drive my truck once a week to keep it happy.
Rock On.
- Dealer changed the plugs second time at 180K
- Dealer did a complete coolant flush at 180K
- Second (passenger) airbag recall performed
- Syn oil changes with Mobil 1 filters still at every 10K by me in the driveway
Rock On.
