V6 engine change from 12 to 30 valves

Wed Sep 4 01:54:34 EDT 2002

Our new to us 99 A6 avant has 30 valves.  35K ~$25,300 dealer lot and 1.9% I
think.
Dog on the track but super stable at freeway speeds in excess of 100 MPH.
Look for off lease damage or neglect.  Very nice ride.

A good friend of mine is considering a '99 A6 quattro...any tips/pointers on
specific things to look for with this year vehicle?

It's got just under 50K miles on it...

Didthe V6 engine change from 12 to 30 valves at some point? Would a '99 have
the later engine?
