I'm not sure how close to the old Audi 5-banger the newer ones are. As Eric says, the old ones will outlast a Mercedes diesel I think. They're hard to kill. The only problem they had was after they went to hydralic lifters after '83. They'd clatter like a thrashing machine after 100k miles. But Later they went to a double over-head cam(1990-ish) and may not have been the same engine below the head.
