Was in the same boat as you just over a year ago. I too fancied a 2.7 bi turbo. Great performance but guzzles the juice! The 2.8 Quattro I bought had full Audi service history and was (is still) in mint condition! Paid just shy of 5K. It has been a joy to drive - would recommend. Went for...

Hi Crispin, I own a 1998 A6 and have experienced similar symptoms. Well, in that sometimes when I select reverse after starting up to manouvere on my drive the sensors beep like there's something in the way, even though there isn't! The last few times it's happened I've got out to have a...
