A6 "A Technical Nightmare"

Since I got my new 2005 A6 three weeks ago, there is a hesitation problem. When starting from a dead stop, the vehicle will occasionally hesitate in first and second gear. From the time you press the gas pedal until the engine responds, there is 1 to 3 seconds delay which is a real problem in traffic. I have taken for service to two different dealers with no solution. Since the dealers' computerized diagnostic program does not show an error message, they don't have a clue. All controls are computer and software driven including the electrical linkage from the gas pedal to the engine. The A6 is so technically complex, I fear the vehicle is a technical nightmare.

These cars are huge bills disguised as cars that actually work. Avoid them at all costs. Bought an 05 last September for my Bday and timing chain stretched and the motor just gave out this month in March. So I spent 4400 for about 6 months of driving an Audi. I put 900 in tires and 300 for a new battery. Not to mention other random stuff. It was fun while it lasted but this car is simply not reliable.

I have the same problem the first gentleman that wrote his report on the first page. The car starts but sometimes 1/10 starts it takes roughly 4 seconds. The dealer has changed the fuel pump cleaned the carburetors and still has that exact problem. They then told me that fuel pump was 25 percent efficient that's why it was replaced. They then took it again and check it online with Germany and said intake manifold. The part was replaced but the problem is still there.
2005 Audi A6 Nightmare

I purchased the 2005 A6 on 11/22/04. It has been the absolute worst car purchase I've ever made. Since the purchase I had a total of 5 separate issues, including issues with the seats, loud engine noise, car needing to warm up when first starting, and both front seats shaking and rattling. While everyone at the dealership is professional, there is a level of defensiveness that exists. Their first reaction is that there is nothing wrong with the car, it's the driver. I've had 7 cars in the last 10 years and I've never experienced these many issues. The worst part is that the customer advocates in Mich are unresponsive & not helpful. I wrote to the VP on 1/3. No response

Wonderful car to look at and drive. Lots of nice touches and an interior that is beautiful. It cruises really nice on the road -- have to be careful and watch how fast you really are going.
