V6 longevity?
Hello all, new to group, I am considering purchasing a used audi mid to late
90's w/ v6 powerplant. Are there websites or sources that can help me
determine longevity of this engine, problems associated w/ certain years,
etc? Thanx to all in advance,
andy

Re: V6 longevity?
I forgot to tell,
My 2.6E lasted 180.000 miles before it blew its headgasket. Also, the
catalic converters were up for replacement. Beware for noisy hydraulic
lifters. I believe there is a relation between noisy lifters and oil change
and oil quality.
If the timing belt has to be changed, also change the waterpump, thermostat
and tension wheels.
