Thanks Guys.
I don't have the car in front of me, but I'll check the manual, model
and year this weekend. I know the car is at least 5 years old, and
she's certain it's the 3.0L, so (Chris) I'm guessing it's the regular A6
Avant. Cody, thanks for the heads-up about the VVT, I don't think I
want to really deal with that. I'll send her to a local shop.
