[A4] Good and Bad Years of B5 quattros?

[Larry Velez]

Pete,

I think my 99.5 might win in a dash beauty contest.  They came with almost all red lighting.    Only two dash lights are not red. I have been meaning to look into replacing those two for the full effect.

A 2001 would win on horse power though (stock to stock comparison of course)

  I've been very happy with my 2001. Just make sure that it's been treated
well. I think the condition is way more important than the year. Look for
one that has used the large (diesel ) oil filter and has been on high
quality synthetic oil for a long time -- mine had its engine replaced under
warranty while using the small filter and a long interval between oil
changes.

I think the 2001 has the nicest dash/interior and I believe had slightly
higher HP than previous years.

Peter

I may be n the search fr a B5 quattro,
Are there years I should focus my attention on, and years I should avoid?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Regards,

Doug (in the market for a Pacific Northwest or West Coast A4 quattro)
