You very well know that none of the items in this thread were replaced
because of normal wear and in fact the only one that could have arguably
been subject to real wear if I had abused the car on dust roads - which I
never did - would have been the upper suspension arms. Anyway, you have
brought a reputation on yourself for inconsistency and for nitpicking
because of Nettiquette, and furthermore your words have 0 credit to me.

I have to say my A3 TDi has so far been the most reliable car I've
owned. I've had lots of VW's, all of which have been pretty good, a
Seat, which was pretty good too,a Mini, which was OK considering it was
built up the road at Longbridge, and a Volvo 480, which was .
The A3 is now nearly 6 years old (60K miles), and I've had it for 3 and
30k miles). Here's the full list of work beyond oil changes and filters,
since I've had it:
3 windscreens (stone damage)
1 alarm unit (warranty)
1 repair to reverse switch wiring (£7 approx for plug kit from dealer)
6 tyres- 4 front, 2 back (consumables) (fronts pretty worn at purchase)
1 set rear pads (consumables)
1 set front pads & discs (not comnpletely knackered, but discs a bit
scored, pads 3/4 worn) (consumables)
1 Timing belt and tensioner (scheduled change at 60k miles)
Basically the only actual failures have been the alarm, and the switch
wiring. The car still looks nice, goes well, and does 50+ mpg (imperial
gal) all the time- and I drive quickly. It's comfortable, and nothing
has fallen off. There are very few rattles, and it's nicer to drive than
many newer cars. The work I've done myself on the car has been easy, due
to the fact it comes apart and goes back together easily and logically.
I'd put the build quality as excellent.

Actually, I know no such thing. I know you to be a whiner and an
Audi-basher.

My reputation or credit with you is meaningless to anyone but yourself.
Someone you really need to get over.
