Re: heater problem [dwenger]
Greetings dwenger & Ann! I'm assuming you driving a 2000 A6 2.7 Liter, Twin Turbo powered car. If you have a Can Bus II Diagnostic device the first thing you should do is get a Diagnostic read out of your error codes regarding the coolant system. If you don't have that diagnostic device you could buy one at Target,Wal Mart or Pep Boy's should one of those be in your area. ... Read More

Re: Moneypit Help ASAP! [4moneypit]

Re: 1998 Audi A6 Quatro - tranmission problem [Brooksman]
The 1998 Audi A6 is a jinxed car. It is a P.O.S. period. I paid $10,000 for the vehicle and put the same amount into it for the 6 years I had it. First the wheel bearings, drive shaft, new brakes and then the tranny. Oh, did I mention before all of those expenses I put on new tires and mass air flow system, and regular maintanance?

Re: want honest opinion [alnmae]
The following is my opinion based on my experience with my 2002 Audi, my friend's experience with their Audis and participation on this board (as well as others). If you are a novice mechanic and/or don't know much about Audi's, stay far away from this car. They are just too expensive to repair and the most odd things go wrong with them.

Audi says it's "tiptronic" transmission fluid is "lifetime." Don't believe it. All fluids wear out in time. I owned a 2000 A6 and an independent mechanic warned me to have the tiptronic fluid changed every 40,000 miles or so. Yours should almost be on the 2nd fluid change by now. The mechanic told me he sees these cars at 60 to 90,000 miles w/ tranny failure due to worn out fluid. ... Read More

Re: Trying To Stay with Audi But Prices Are Crazy High [bondguy1]
Audi Care is $600 that pays for 4/50 maintenace that was free in past. And they will bump the residual 1% to compensate for it, so it esentially pays for itself. There's $2000 Audi Loyalty money on A6's thru March to my knowledge.

I'm not sure what your point is here. Talking about the power of BMW's 530i and Audi's A6 3.2 v the competition is very much on topic. I don't think "horses-per-dollar" was ever part of the discussion. All luxury performance sedans will score poorly by that matrix...they're luxury cars. You're paying for luxury after all, not just a big lump of iron with a lot of power. Ironically, your last two ... Read More

Re: What's up with the Germans and 255 (ish) HP? [lexusguy]
No kidding about your comment "and fours that w/o forced induction would have horse and buggy levels of power." I just sold my tired 2000 A6 w/100,000 miles and bought a Mazda CX-7. 244 HP / 258 lb. ft. single turbo 4 banger, almost the same specs as my old 6-cylinder twin-turbo Audi!Amazing low end power, not necessary to push this thing hard to get going,almost no turbo lag due in ...

Re: Need help with purchase [ecnirp]
This Audi, I'd bet can be had as a major bargain. The engine in it sounds sweet -- especially when you go deep on the accelerator. The reliability by the time the 2004's had come about (in the C5's history) should not be an issue. With 30K miles on it, it has 20K of the Audi advantage left, is eligble for the 100K Certified Pre-owned designation and there are also Audi ... Read More

Re: 2006 Audi A6 purchase/lease [lyndonw]
Check out some of the earlier posts. 2006 A6s have been selling brand new for $6000 under invoice. I bought a 4.2 A6 for about $10k below MSRP and they were offering the same deal on the 3.2s. This was Audi of Alexandria in VA. You may want to shop around more, unless this is all that's left and you're hooked. By the way, I have about 2000 miles on mine ... Read More

Re: Car People [pat]
Selling England by the Pound -- Genesis. You win the cupie doll, Pat! Here in Cincinnati, the new generation of BMW's with that spanky new "35" twin turbo engine are rolling out -- at this point, the 335 sedan and coupes are RWD, but already the 328 is offered with AWD and next year the X drive option will be added for about $1900. It promises to be a brisk seller. ... Read More

Re: "The Itch. . ." [lexusguy]
I know what you mean, I just made the leap to HD DVD and HD Tivo with DirecTV and the three LNB and the receiver with dual HD tuners. My first HD DVD just came today, "Serenity." Shhh, don't tell anyone, I could actually possibly, maybe, perhaps, actually see keeping this A6 beyond the lease. Audi's C5 came to the US in 1998 and remained pretty much the same through the ...

"The Itch. . ."
Back in the days when smoking (in a car) was even done, a friend of mine -- a smoker -- would kid me and say "Mark gets a new car every time the ash tray gets full."

Re: I still [tayl0rd]
As a card carrying geek (or at least a member of older-geeks-USA), the Acura has very little geek appeal from what I can see. My friends, my non-Audi, but often BMW driving/owning friends have, for years, called Audis the "technofile's" car (which is pretty close to geek.) This WAS because the Audi cockpits had full gauges, all wheel drive, knobs and push and pull buttons/levers and the word quattro spelled out ... Read More

2002 A6 3.0 trip meter
I have a 2002 A6 3.0 quattro. I noticed that every 2000 miles - exactly - it resets to zero. This seems very odd to me as to why it would not go to 9999 and then reset. Has anybody else experienced this - the dealer contacted Audi in Gernmany and they tell the dealer that this is normal. Thanks in advance for replies Confused!!!

Re: Audi Repairs [dbamuti]
What do you mean by repair? I replaced the outer cv boots ($25 per)on my 2000 a6 in about 6 hours. Didn't really need any specialty tools either. I also replaced the rotors and brakes while I was at it. New cv joints run $200 per.

Re: Ignition problems 2005 A6 Quatro (update) [sfcharlie]

Re: Hope we get some good debate goin' on here. . . [dhanley]
Well ,my 2000 Audi A6 2.7T w/ 95,000 miles finally bit the dust. I noticed oil dripping and brought the car to an independent shop, 2 days before the extended service plan expired! The verdict: leaking turbos. The damages: nearly $4000.00. I had to produce every oil change receipt for the last 6 years and had to show that the oil had been changed every 8000 miles per Audi specifications. Have ... Read More

Re: Current Audi A6 Special Lease Offer [rjlaero]

Re: Audi A6 3.0 Balancing/Wheel/Tire problems [fki2]
As far as brake "shimmy", I went through 4 sets of front factory rotors (on my 2000 A6) with no solution until installing a pair of drilled Zimmerman after market rotors, and they solved that problem. Also, rotating and balancing the tires seems to take of driving "shake" every other oil change, about 12,000 miles.

Re: 2000 A6 4.2 [bronxfox]
Steve: Just be very sure that you have a thorough check of all transmission / undercarriage seals / gaskets. Leaking is a well recognized problem with the Audi A6 of the vintage you are considering. It cost me $2100 to have mine replaced (at 45,000 miles.) Then, in April of this year (49,000 miles...this is my second car), I was told that not ALL had been fixed and it would cost ... Read More

Re: Mark - Brakes A8 [rayainsw]
The A8 was not plagued with brake rotor issues that would merit much discussion. Two A6 4.2's (a 2000 and a 2001) however, went through 9 (NINE) sets of rotors during my ownership experience with them. The dealer and AUDI worked with me -- I was never without transportation and I can and will admit to levels of ebbing and flowing frustration over this situation. During this period of time, I ...

Re: 2006 vs 2007 [rayainsw] - torque [sfcharlie] [rayainsw]

How is the gearing, what is the final drive ratio and how overdriven is 6th? And what about the price of lima beans on Tuesday while we're at it. It seems as if the ... Read More

noise when unsing A/C
I recently purchased a 2000 A6 2.8, W/88k. It sounds like an airplane when I use the A/C, dealer says its Audis are like that. I've heard similar noises from other Audis. Is this normal or is it a common problem. The air works fine and there is no loss of power, anyone info would be appreciated.

Re: 2006 vs 2007 [dan339g]

Yet, I hardly miss it -- I rarely changed the setting even when it was power assisted. I am at least pleased that my manual wheel can be both tilted and telescoped and am nearly shocked when I note ... Read More

Very happy with car initially, but in less than 5 weeks of ownership I had a bad experience...apparently with the transmission.

Re: 2000 A6 4.2 [rwolff]
kinda depends on the Audi...most Audis aren't very exciting either unless it's the turbo models. Definitely Lexus on reliability for those years; however, some Lexus models apparently exhibit erratic automatic transmission behavior, so I'd test drive a used one for a long long time before making a purchase. I like Audi styling better though. Lexi are rather bland by my taste. Repair costs on an out of warranty car also suggest ... Read More

Re: 2000 A6 4.2 [rwolff]
The price is market correct, no bargain, no rip-off. With those miles probably the best you can do is have the car thoroughly checked over and a list made of any deficient items...I mean have an Audi shop really dig into that car, test everything, pull the wheels, check for leaks, bad hoses, worn belts, weak shocks, unusual tire wear, possible collision damage, water leaks, etc. etc. My guess is that ...

2000 A6 4.2
I've found a 2000 A6 4.2 with 106,000 miles in mint condition priced at 12,500. The car seems to be a creampuff but I am of course concerned about the miles, having been an Audi owner the last eight years and knowing the problems that can occur. However, this car has been maintained very well and seems great. Any opinions on the pricing and reliablity of this model?
