[s-cars] Allroad reliablity comments

[Tom Green]

The Audiworld Allroad forum probably is the most complete data base  
for allroad
ownership, good and bad.  The Allroad is certainly not one of those  
just drive it
vehicles, and even a CPO vehicle is not cheap to own,and when that  
ends, the
prudent owner is headed to Bruce Mendel for another warranty package.

This is the TB on the tiptronic:

topics at the top
you should get a feel for the trouble areas.

A nice, well sorted 2.7tt Allroad with 6 speed manual is a sweet ride.
