Re: I have 158K on mine and still going. But I also drive 40K a year on the highway.
its not so much the mileage that the a4iowa is saying its having the car in 5th gear 80% of the time on the highway so no abuse is going on u know what I mean?

Yeah I know what you mean, little stress on the engine or clutch.
I was just surprised at the mileage! In the U.K. the 20K a year I do in the Passat is seen as quite substantial! 40K is quite something!
Four oil change services a year, man!

no, i had a shop do it, but...
well, it's complicated... because my extended warranty covered part of it, and i bought a South Bend OFE HD clutch kit with sprung disc and Unorthodox LWFW
The dealer quoted $1200 too... and $2000 with a new FW
