I don't know about Monterey, but you can count on me "leading the
caravan" up the Mt. Washington again next summer.

What head unit? Stereo, Climate control, or valves? :-)
The V6 is (I'm pretty sure) an intereference motor. I have not
changed my timing belt yet, but will at 60K (only have 52K so far).

What are you trying to find out about the vent motors? I can
maybe dig up some help from Mr. Bentley, although the new A6s
have relatively little in the way of user diagnostics. Most
everything needs a VAG1551.
