A6 4.2 leaking rear susp

Hi all,

I currently own a '99 4.2 A6 avant - which I love! (One day I may be able to afford it's bigger brother - The RS6!)

But for now, I'm looking at buying a newer version of the A6 4.2 - approx 2002, which may have leaking rear air suspension. I believe this may be an expensive fix?
Could I just replace the air susp with a coil over kit?

Cheers guys (and girls)

Dunno. The active pneumatic suspension is completely different to what they put on the RS6.

99 times out of 100 though it just works out better and cheaper to bin the whole lot and put some billies on.
