Default 150-200k if you use synthetic oil and change every 3k miles
it really all depends on how you drive the car and the maintenance involved.

Default 1.8T is a pretty durable engine.....
lots of older B5's with 1.8Ts are still on the road today. Sometimes I check out ebay motors and some on there have 100k+.

As long as you take care of it maintenance wise, syn oil, keep fluids/components in check, it should go 100k+ easily without much needing to be replaced. Of course, once engines reach that mileage/age and beyond, components most likely will start to wear out.

Default my old 98 A4 has 197k miles on it.
I have no doubt it could go to 250 and beyond, as long as you kept up with the t-belt, oil changes, etc. They're good engines.
