From what I can see after 1996 A6s seem to be OBDII. This has a 'readiness' chart (PDF) which suggests codes ALH onwards have OBDII.

I would assume yours is the 110 or 130 PD engine (ALH) which does have OBDII. The Cordoba was post 96 but only had the 90hp pre-PD engine but did have OBDII.

You could also check the shape of your connector - see On-board diagnostics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and scroll up to see an OBDI version (I think).

Final option could be to ask your local dealer about OBDII. Their eyes will light up at the prospect of charging you a fortune for just reading some codes
