6spd diesel A6 Avant

[Doyt W. Echelberger]

There are some A6's listed by the NHTSA as elgible.

One such vehicle is the Audi A6  years 1998 - 1999.

It's VSP number is  332

"VSP" eligibility numbers are assigned to vehicles that are decided to be
eligible under 49 U.S.C. § 30141(a)(1)(A), based on a petition from a
manufacturer or registered importer which establishes that a substantially
similar U.S.-certified vehicle exists.


Each vehicle on the list is preceded by a vehicle eligibility number. The
importer of a vehicle admissible under any eligibility decision must write
that number on the Form HS-7 accompanying entry to indicate that the
vehicle is eligible for importation.


Take the time to visit each of these web sites before proceeding further:

You should contact a Registered Importer at some point after examining
these web sites.
The list of RI is on one of those sites.
