audi is pretty much like volkswagon after all they share many parts
i would be cautious about buying one reliability is below average and
parts can be epensive especially when something electrical goes wrong
on them. as far as the as high mileage factor being a concern on the actual

"turbo component itself" that has a lot to do with how the other guy maintaned
his engine like were oil changes done on time thats very important
for a turbo component because the engine oil cools and lubricates it if you like
the car have it checked out at your shop before buying it!
