Faults:

The Quattro 30tdi is a beautiful car; lots of comfort and power, and economical for a V6 diesel 6 speed auto.

The only problem encountered was the injector leak off valve, oil cooler leaks and the Tiptronic 6 speed transmission, it started slipping gears, went into fail-safe mode, then lost all gear engagement completely. When inspected by a local garage was told the failure could have been prevented if it had an earlier oil replacement. Probably wasn't done by the previously owner. Eventually ended up replacing the transmission.

But they good cars, it's a pleasure to drive a quattro and this engine is powerful, but make sure the engine and transmission get their regular services to prevent any failure.

In a nutshell, an awesome car with awesome power.

Faults:

Great, well maintained car, even with 181K on clock and FSH, but my car has a CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH ABS problem, and the dealer says it is not software, but a hardware problem in the wiring. It has a stutter at start up and only takes on third swing. It is the second time I have seen this problem on this site. Anyone have a solution?

General Comments:

Very comfortable and goes like a bat out of hell. Extremely powerful and very fast. What a pleasure.
