Thanks for the feedback. I guess I will narrow
my search to a 2.8.

Repair of a quattro tiptronic transmissions scare my bank account. So if the 3.0s have seal
failures that is good enough reason to avoid.

cheers, Mike Hopton

I can speak for the 2.8 Avant - I've had 2 - another green avant 2008-05-09 12:27:17 (127 views)

3.0 if properly serviced. - schnellmb 2008-05-09 09:32:49 (75 views)

I'd stay away frrom the 3.0 - 4Driver4 2008-05-09 08:34:28 (129 views)

The 3.0 also doesn't leak as much as the 2.8, and is much faster (as snails go) :) - Raoul 2008-05-09 09:07:53 (58 views)

I have the 3.0 and its great imho. If you want a v6 without the issue of turbos its the way to go. - blAck6 (desairs) 2008-05-09 10:20:49 (47 views)

2nd: 3.0L @ 50k miles and no issues (knock on wood). Still wish I had 2.7T 6MT - NoProblem 2008-05-09 10:32:15 (42 views)

Glad to hear you guys are happy with your cars, but 50k trouble free miles... - 4Driver4 2008-05-09 11:32:55 (72 views)

Not sure if it was mentioned, but some avants rust along the roof rails. Watch out for that. - 4Driver4 2008-05-09 15:45:34 (39 views)

2nd - our first one did that - no signs of it on the 2nd. - another green avant 2008-05-10 13:53:45 (22 views)

I'm pretty happy w/ my 2.8 engine, however don't have the avant yo're asking about. - Whitjr 2008-05-09 08:17:17 (70 views)
