Yes, the center data display is intermittent at times, but the rest of my 
Audi has been almost completely trouble free, it has 105,000 miles on it and 
still going strong, it is a 1999 model year A6 Quattro.

Cheers,
Gene

Audis are no longer as relieable as they used to be it seems - a good  
friend of mine had an A8 4.2 that he replaced by the it is 3.2 after  
200,000 miles?
Lots of troubles with electronics on the news one which Audi couldn't  
solve.
He finally purchased a Cayenne  ...
