Hi Everyone,

My father may be replacing his 85 4000S with a 99 A6q avant.  I'm
going to be checking out the car on Saturday and would like to know
what to look for.

Does the 30V V6 have the same oil leak/weak head gasket issues as the old 12V?

Any issues or weaknesses with the tip tranny for  99 model year?

The car has 49K miles on it so he's probably looking into timing
belt/water pump in about 10K.

Lastly, if anbody out there has a Carfax account, can you check the VIN for me?

Thanks everyone,
Ben Kwan

85 4000S
