best year for 2.8 to get?

Mine was May-99. No xenons, but rear window shade, homelink, memory seats, Bose. Yank out that 605 steering relay for a grea improvement in feel. You can still one hand parallel park. And an AW license plate frame for an extra 20 hp. Very reliable.

Since I just bought my 99 A6 Q 2.8, I am glad to hear so many singing it's praises. So far, I am very pleased and look forward to enjoying it for some time. However, I bought the car knowing of a few issues that I am in the process of figuring out. Maybe someone can be of assistance. First, the cel was on when I bought the car. Risky move, I know, but my father owned a vw and porsche garage for 20+ years so I am confident when working on german cars. Anyway, after scanning the obd, it threw back the code po422- three way cat. There is a "jingling" noise when the car is driven, (it is remote at idle) which does appear to be coming from the cat, most likely a piece of honeycomb. And on top of that, the car just doesn't have the torque under load that it should. My only dillema is that before I spring for a new cat I want to go over some of the other possibilities to rule out a simpler, less expensive fix. Any thoughts on where else the problem may be?
