Looking at the ad the car picture shows a P reg plate but the ad says 1998.
This is quite possible if you have a "personalised plate" so you may well
have a 1998 A6 1.8T, the 1.8T was first available only with 97 R reg. Note
for this car there was a recent recall regarding early wear on the front
suspension arms (had them changed on both my A6s) I note from the dealer
notes you might also be in East Kent ? If you are looking for an
independent Audi/VW specialist I have used M & S Auto Services in Biddenden
www.m.s.autoservices.co.uk as they are much less expensive than my local
dealer.
