I am shopping for a 1.8t Avant and can't decide if the extra $$$ for an 04 is worth it. Coming from a B5 S4, several owners had issues with the 2nd gear syncros. I was wondering if the newer 2004 and up 1.8t 6 speeds had any issues.

thanks

no issues @ 40k; and its nice to go 80mph at 3k rpms on the highway.

I would give my right arm for a 6th gear...but then I couldn't shift

i currently have a UltraSport 1.8TQ Avant. like yourself i had a B5 S4 Avant (stage 2). at this point i really wish i had opted for a 3.0 or 3.2 V6. the 1.8T like mentioned in a thread below it is gravy on the highway. but it is lame on surface streets. it feels like you need to beat the sh:! out of it to go anwhere.

is you are going to mod it - then it is a better choice. if you are looking for overall drivability i think the V6 is superior.

the 1.8T does not seem to get that great of gas mileage either. i average about 24 mpg combine - not much more than my S4

stock, what did you expect. the 1.8t is way more tunable than a 3.0. give me a 1.8t and the difference in price for a 3.0 and my 1.8t will saaamoke 3.0.

Heck yes! It should have been available in 2002!
