2015 A4 original owner. Control arms ah water pump. Other wise a great car. Those charges hit me at 75k and 90k
A4 b8.5 with 175k on it, only problem I had was a seized brake caliper.
Have carried out preventative maintenance though, so check your timing belt/water pump. Replaced control arms on the front and brakes.
The rest is just regular service and oil change religiously at 6k miles
Whenever possible, use OEM parts like TRW control arms. Same parts the dealers sell at significantly less cost.
I used Meyle control arms on my B5 A4 and had no issues after replacement.
