OT:How's the reliability on 2.7t?

[Anton CH.]

Just looking at a couple of used A6 2.7t, love the sound the turbos makes. You guys think those engines are going to be problamatic in the long run? And I am talking lasting until 150-200k miles if not abused too much.

I have heard about some trouble with the turbos on those early in production. You might check out some of the VW/Audi boards for more info.

And i think there are very few cars(especially ones as complex and feature laden as the A6 2.7) that are not going to be somewhat problematic($$$) over 150k.

Besides that though the A6 is a great car, 2.7's got plenty of power, and you cant beat Audi's interior fit and finish.
