re. A6 electrical problems

[Ben Swann]

Tell your dentist, you know of a '84 4000 quattro that has a new battery and has none of this quirkiness, and some '85 4kqs that are even more reliable.

I don't know of the newer car problems except through what I hear on this list - newest car is the '91 200 20V Q avant.

My dentist knows I am an Audi enthusiast, and told me about his car while I 
was in the office. It was a long story about dissatisfaction with a car he 
bought new.

Generally, battery runs down, then the car won't start.

I promised to bring these A6 problems to the attention of the list, and 
relay lister replies back to my dentist. I think he would appreciate any 
thoughts the community has, or similar experiences.
