I also have a 2001.5 A4 1.8t (with only 20k miles), but it too has been perfect - knock on wood. Funny how someone else mentioned it, but the only thing I had a problem with was a left rear window regulator around 15k miles. Other than that, its been a pleasure to drive (and you can get exactly what I have for about $22k now)
