Almost 20,500 now...

She will be stored VERY soon until April now. Supposed to snow Wednesday here so that's probably all she wrote.

36,000 on mine and already had oil pump failure. But no probs tho, new crank, cam, heads, intake, and LT's came out of the rebuild just fine.

Bought my 99 a4 back in '04 with 50,000 miles. I just stored her for the winter with 119,000 last week. I have kept her pretty stock with only a lid and a catback, ALWAYS have changed my oil every 2500-3000 miles, Had to fix the rear when that went out around the mid 70,xxx range and also rebuilt the tranny a couple years ago at 95,xxx been a real strong engine through out the years tho. And as far as the LS1 tick thing goes I get it at a cold start up but after she warms up its faint and almost non existant, kinda weird tho I have popped the hood and can't hear it, wonder where the hell it is coming from.

122,XXX on mine and its completly stock. other than suspension. needs cats bad, and living in california Im looking for some cali legal ones. Found some from magnaflow pretty cheap. some where around 450-500$. It just started to misfire so im replacing the coils wires and plugs today....

My 98 has 220,000 miles on it, and the motor is still going. The trans (A4) has seen better days.

+1 may 4l60e soldiered on until 203k rear axle replaced at the same time,but those 2 pieces of the drivetrain are considerably weaker than the ls1

**fastt** · 12-23-2010, 05:00 PM

I have 39k on mine, shes running strong as ever.

**10spokess** · 12-23-2010, 07:48 PM

**CamaroGuy83** · 12-23-2010, 11:35 PM

137,070 miles on my '98 z28 as of today. She runs great, tranny shifts great, i have cold morning piston slap but that's it. I change the oil every 3,000 miles and take care of her and she has taken care of me in return.
