[s-cars] Test drive 2000 A6Q 2.7T 6 speed

I agree that Sean has his C4's and 5's mixed up, but 
he is correct about recoding the display when the 
cluster is replaced (to cure the fading problem which 
Audi is "monitoring").  The cluster must be coded to 
the correct mileage after install.  Just removing and 
reinstalling the same cluster requires no VAG.

I've had the cluster out on both my old S6 and my 
current '02 A6, and
neither time did I have to recode the cluster 
afterwards.
