Short runs are a Diesel Killer - DPF and EGR may come and haunt you. The short run economy return in relation to infrequent longer trips suggest to me that you should consider a petrol TFSi alternative. My 2.0 Diesel is enough to get anywhere in a suitable hurry but the 3.0 diesels are incredibly fast.
Make sure, if you go for the Auto, that the Gearbox has been serviced properly at the correct intervals. An expensive service item
Quattro should not give you any trouble - Was one of my must haves when I first started looking for a new A6 - add to that the Tech Pack

I think this is something biting me in the backside abit now. I have the 245bhp quattro 3.0l love it really do and love the engine. Personally I'll be getting the BiTDI next but in meantime I am starting to get rough idle at cold which I feel maybe a dmf issue. Just started to look into it now hence I'm here. Drives amazing had it 2 years I do high milage. I do king trips but also short and that's the issue. It's my first diesel and auto and I really love it. I've had no issues in the 2 years and I'm now at 115k just had service but the idle still feels rough. It does not stall but does vibrate enough to move cat abit. As I say drives fine and no dash lights or anything shown up and simple check. Hoping might get a better idea.
Thinking 2012-13 A6 quattro diesel - common issues?
