I'm looking at buying my 2nd B6, 1.9 130. But this time i want the automatic gearbox? from what i can see theres Multitronic and Tiptronic, i also read bits of a post about the clutches being ***** and audi forking out loads to repair them...

What i want to know is what to look out for, what the best gearbox is and how reliable are the auto boxes? or is it safer to go for the 6 speed manual gearbox? I really want the auto box but ONLY if it's going to be reliable and not just break down and cost me £3000 to repair like some posts i've read.... Be nice to get the paddle shift but i will wait and see what replies i get first lol!
 
6 speed manual is the wise choice.
I wouldn't touch an auto running costs are higher & if they go wrong it's a big £££££'s. Multitronics especially are notorious for failing.
