[s-cars] 1995 A6 Experience?

[LL - NY]

Seems to be a much more reliable beast than a type 44. It's a 2.8 liter 12V
V6,
autobox (4 sp), with torsen and probably EDL rather than a diff lock. Friend
has
the earlier trim 100CSQ (his is an avant). Only real problem his car has had
was
the Climate Control head, but it's also got north of 200K miles. He also had
a
problem with the driver's door lock, but I doubt it's typical. Kent (of Bad
Pupply
fame) also has one too, I believe. Much more reliable than his type 44 was,
but
they are awfully slow.
