Default DIY maintenance compared to 2002 2.7t A6

I'm looking to pickup a 2016 3.0t Prestige to replace my well loved (230K miles) 2002. I do all my own maintenance and repairs, and have done the Timing Belt job 3 times, the auxiliary water pump, cam shaft adjusters, control arms, etc.

I'm just wondering how the 3.0 compares to the 2.7 as far as difficulty to work on, etc.

Thanks!
Brian

I had a 2.7T and now the 3.0T. I work on them myself as well and I think they are almost equal in difficulty with the 3.0T being just a smidge easier. You can look at my history on here to see all the stuff I did, i won't go into it right now, but everything was straightforward.

Thanks!

Picked up a 2016 A6 Prestige S-Line with Black Optic package this past Sunday. Loving it so far!

Now if I can just get my 2002 running again so I can sell it, I can get an ECU tune
