Default 2.7turbo problematic???

I see alot of 2.7 biturbos going for cheap with issues such as trans slipping. Is there an issue with these models?

Default There are TONS of posts on this subject on this forum - do a quick search and you'll find

all the info you seek.

That said, if you can find a well-maintained biturbo, chances are you're going to get a vehicle with excellent performance, luxury, and stye.

Default trans slipping? 'splain.

clutch slipping? Possibly. auto tranny jumping and shifting very hard, yes. TC dying, yes. Just slipping, haven't heard that one.

But you really should do some searching if you have not read along.

Default There's an issue with old, high mileage, poorly maintained cars in general.....

cars today are complex. An Audi will last a long, long time with proper maintenance...
