Default '02 with 40k - nothing much but brake pads and routine fluids

It did have a couple replacements of the stereo head unit in its early warranty days from the infamous red death syndrome, but I would figure all those units are weeded out at this point.

Default Oh, jeez! I totally forgot that I am on my 3rd cluster.

I had it replaced under warranty, and then they put in another one that was also faded. (Well, that was after they put in an A6 cluster) So I went back to Beverly Hills (from San Diego) because they told me, "Come on up." I took that to mean that they had my new cluster, and I could bring it up to be installed. Well, they actually wanted to verify that I actully had fading lines, so I had to make ANOTHER trip up there to get it installed. Total of 4 trips for 2 cluster installs. All that, just to have someone S6-smart work on my car.

02 S6, 75K miles. Only issues have been the yaw sensor for the ESP system, and evaporator purge valve, both 5 minute jobs.

Normal brakes and oil changes.

I know I shouldn't say this, but this has easily been the most reliable Audi I've had.

I should STFA, but what benefits does the MTM chip give your S6?
