I just posted today about some outstanding issues with out 2001 2.8 Avant Quattro. In addition to that list, we've also have had to replace control arms, tie rod ends, the timing belt, fuel pump, water pump. Also, the check engine light is on, and I believe it's got to do with the catalytic conv.

The car still drives beautifully however. A few more horses would be nice, but I'll take reliability over performance for now.
