    58 reg A4 3.0 lt Quattro Faults?

    Ive had a few now and only thing Ive had issues with is inlet manifold motor which is quite common on the 3.0 and 2.7, when they go wrong it puts the management light on, car still drives fine but light is annoying, they can be taken off and serviced which sometimes is a fix.
