RE: Let's hear about it! How many miles on your A6?
Man.. you guys all have such low miles... 
2000 A6, 2.7T
212k km... 131K miles.... No serious issues, the standard compliment of control arms and tire rod ends and timing belt kits every 100K km. Engine still strong and smooth.

2003 A6 2.7T manual transmission with 96K miles. Just replaced the clutch with a South Bend Stage 3 OFE kit. First replacement clutch (OEM) only lasted me 18K miles. I'll do the timing belt/water pump maitenance before 100K. There's lots of opinions as to when to replace the timing belt; I know I'm pushing it, but other than that, my car runs great. K04s in the future?!

1999 A6 AVANT 2.8 , 145,000
bought it at 132,000 ( not running ! last owner change the oil maybe once a yearif that ! there was so much oil SLUGE in the heads it pluged the oil feed for the first cam bearing for both heads for the exhaust cam owner drove it till both exhaust cam eroded about 2-3 mm of the cyl. head and then both the exhaust cam snaped just about in the middle. I got new heads off ebay sent them tothe machine shop (valve job, just wanted the heads to be in good shape) pulled the lower oil pan off to check the lower end all ok! put it all back together ( new t-belt, plugs, filters, water pump ) The cyl. head ( old broken ones ) are all black insideI have pixs at home I can post. Now thateverthing is back together the car runs GREAT 145,000 now, the only thingI need to address is there is a noise from 60-65 mph I believe the noise is coming from the carrier bearing in the center of the drive line (I had this problem with one of my older Audi's 85 4000 Q) any one want to see pixs of the heads let my know.
