I'd like to shime in regarding the oil consumption.

I had an A6 Avant 2.4 2000 that drank alot of oil (more than 1L/1000km ~ 1L/600miles). It went so far that I returned it to the dealer and bought a 1.8Turbo instead. Some of the older 2.4 V6 had a known problem with large oil consumtion. I dont know if they ever managed to fix it. They tried to modify my engine but it gave no result. The later 2.4 V6's don't have this issue. The 1.8 Turbo drank no oil at all. Great engine but a bit buzzy for this large car.

I have heard of others that have had the same experince and others that had no problems at all with that engine.
