Default Considering another A6 to join the Q7

Sold my 2003 A6 3.0 about six months ago. It was a third car and being driven once in a while in addition to our 2007 Q7 4.2 and 2005 Touareg V6.

The Touareg is getting to the point where we *should* sell it as it just turned 55k miles and I don't feel like going down the maintenance road again (sold the A6 with 116k on it).

Looking at some CPO'd C6's and need some advice. I am fairly certain I want to go 4.2 as I love (repeat LOVE) the V8 in the Q7 and not sure I want to go 3.2. Is there any reason not to go 2005? Was there significant changes to the 2006 model? Anything else to look for?

I never realized that the 4.2 dropped to only 4 valves when it went FSI. Interesting tidbit.

OMFG, the '06 was 32 valve, too. When did Audi drop the 40 valve V8?

Default You're right. I suck at teh model guide reading - I was looking at the 6 cylinder specs.

But then why did Egil give me this:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/c6a6/msgs/38299.phtml">?</a></li></ul>

Default the significant engine change occured 06 to 07

The 07 saw the debut of the FSI V8, and a bump in the HP to 350 (from 330, I think)
