[s-cars] 2004 S4 Avant V8 -- Report on Test Drive

[Scott Justusson]

 Technically, neither post was correct as written.  I know this because I've done engine swaps in a state where Chassis vs Engine year is tested newer is enforced.  Which makes EXACTLY the point that the B6 Chassis being newer means the AAN won't work.

You basically made a long winded post that says that Cody is basically
correct. Regardless, an AAN into a B6 is pretty much impossible
due to the OBD-II requirement as you stated.
