[s-cars] 2000 A6 Quattro

[radek at uniserve.com]

My son got one (with manual transmission) two years ago and it's been  
a mixed experience.  Great car when it works, but if you need to fix  
something, its complexity can drive you crazy.  Latest example:   
starter removal. Before you get to it, there are several pipes, hoses  
and the alternator to take out.  Access to starter is largely  
obstructed by the subframe.  I think it's the last straw actually, he  
is thinking of parting it out.
So,  if you want to work on the car yourself, a Bentley manual and a  
lot of patience are necessary.

Radek.
