Does someone want to give me some basic info and things to look for on the 2.8l quatro a4? Ive been kind of looking around on forums and Im not finding shit on the b5. Also pictures would be cool.

So the v6 uses a timing belt not a chain like the vr? I used to be into vw, but i never really looked into audi much.

Yes, it has timing belts, and they are a bit of a pain to change. The engine bay on the V6 is slightly cramped.

like stated above, it does have timing belt. the front end definately needs to be in service mode, off basically, to change it.

ive may be getting into this audi soon. it will make a nice daily and with a little work it could be really nice. it needs some things like a corner light and side skirts. but nothing major. it has alot of miles but it seems pretty sturdy. its my buddies daily
