Default New milestone reached on A6

I was going to synchronise trip odometer @222k but missed it so will need to wait couple of years to do it on 333k

Still with original camshafts on the dreaded 2.5TDI with non roller rocker arms.

That's impressive Mine ate itself at 235K after a second set of cams so I put a 1.9TDI in it and it carried on going until 360K

Regular oil changes above service interval requirements with Quantum Longlife III and a dash of MoS2 powder and ZDDP makes wonders.
