[s-cars] 2000 A6 Quattro

[Eric Sanborn]

I have a 2001 Allroad with the 2.7T, but a manual.  So this is basically
the same car, but a wagon and a manual.  I had valve cover leaks onto the
turbo which I had to fix.  I have had problems with the air suspension, but
that is expected and you wouldn't have to worry about that.  Other than
that it has been a great car.  I have an APR chip and stupid amounts of
torque, but I don't think the automatic would hold up to that.  It is a
super nice driving car.  This time of year I love the heated steering wheel.
