I’ve heard mixed opinions on these b5’s they can be the best car ever for some, yet break all the time for others. > > I still really want to get one of these but having zero physical experience working on cars in general makes working on German cars even more difficult so I’ve been told. This has 162k on it. Bought it w/ 153k. Only work I’ve had to do that aren’t mods are: breaks had to be bleed b/c i got some air in the lines, new axle (125 dollars) & i had to replace the flasher relay (65 dollars from the stealership). Other than that I just change the oil every 3k. I live in glenville hills & drive it 60 miles a day to HVCC. Every snow storm I drove it to school w/ out snow tires, not 1 problem. She’s 1 hell of a car, absolutely love it. Not the fastest car going but it serves the purpose for me. My friend Jordan has basically the same car that I do, only his is blue & an 01 & he loves his too & had to do bout the same maintenance that I have. We both bought our cars bone stock from older people, which helps. They really aren’t too hard to work on. I’m going to school for Auto & once you get into them, they really aren’t too bad, just some stuff takes a little longer to do. Like removing the headlights :banghead. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-project-2000-audi-a4-1-8t/255668)._
