Cam belt done :D !! I asked the shop to save me the old belt and tensioners so I could inspect them, and they looked OK. The belt had no microcracks, the backside looked dull but nothing major for 100K miles. Whether it was stretched or not, I don't know :? . I thing I did notice, is that the whole ...

RE: Re: RE: How much mileage can an S6 have?

Hi All, I agree totally that a high-mileage well cared for car is often a great buy, assuming the price takes mileage into account Especially if service records are available so one has documenation of major work like cam belt change and gearbox flush, brake work, etc. Most high mileage cars have fa...

I am new to the site, found it looking for info on my 2002 S6 Avant and its upcoming 80/K mi service. I hope you guys can convert that to Km, I can't without looking at my speedometer.
