common problems

For the love of god run from that car.
The first year the CVT came out is the kiss of death, there are 7 TSB repairs alone for that trans, all of them are major. Changing the fluid every 40k at $300 a crack is no picnic either, let alone $5,000 for a new trans if it hasn't been replaced already.

The CVT trans wan't good until late 04, and even then it still sucks. They can develop problems at just about any mileage, since the list of problems is so long it really isn't mileage dependant. Do yourself a favor and stay away from the CVT.

I'm also looking into getting a B6 for the Wife, are the CVT only in Front wheel drive or quattro also? Did the B7 also have the problematic CVT?
