A6, 4.2L, Quattro, Trip-tronic (as I call it). The issue was probably with a bad gasket, according to them. The stupid thing acted like a Ford Escrt with 100k miles. It was covered under warentee, so they fixed it, then the water pump (the brand new one) went. Then the damn radiator. It was like being in college again. Mind you, this is a $50k+ car. The guys at the dealership were really nice, but I heard "I've never seen anything like this" one too many times. They were nice enough to tkae it back, and I only took a small loss. I suspect they took it back because they knew it was going to cost a shitload to repair again and again.
I don't know if my experience was typical of Audis, though. They could be really reliable, and I just got the rare lemon.
