Hi guys, I usually stop at the Mercedes W203 fraction. Now, however, there has been a discussion in the family council, which deals with the purchase of an Audi A6. This is an Audi A6 Quattro Combi with 170 hp & 2.4L Maschiene of the year February 2003 with Autom. Gearbox & approx. 29000 KM. Can you get some helpful information about this, as for example what I have to pay attention to, there is information about parts that are particularly prone to errors or repairs. , how much fuel runs on this mashie about through the Agregat, etc. I am grateful for any answer or tip. The purchase should decide by next Tuesday. So over with your opinion whether positive or negative. Thanks already Sesse

Hello ! Here are already the best prices on the topic of timing belt change A6. It is specifically about a 2.4 MKB ALF. The friendly one takes itself so around the 1600-1800 Teuros. A good, free workshop in my vicinity asks itself approx. 1000 Euro, but changes however all tensioning, turning, what white for rollers and Wapu. At ATU should cost only 514 € !? What change the ??? alone the dis- / installation of the front car components takes already some time / money in use. Money actually expect good work? Who has experience with it?

Hello! I drive an A6 2.4 Bj. 2000. If I tip oil, so that the track rod actually shows me the optimum (just between min and max), the consumption of the small so about 1 L on 1000km. Now I drive already since 5000km to minimum and also need nothing to tilt. What can this be about? Is it probably harmful for the engine, if I always drive with so little oil? What happens, if the oil warning lamp lights up in the cockpit, have heard that the only the oil pressure and not the oil level indicate t. If only he would consume as little petrol as oil – a dream car. Greeting csa6

Hello, last Friday evening I drove my A 6 2.5 TDI Quattro 180 hp (190000 km) at normal speed 130 – 140 km/h. Suddenly the car did not react to the accelerator movement anymore and began to vibrate easily. I read the car and put it off immediately. I then got in touch with the Audi help. After about 25 minutes came the Audi emergency service. He came after a short diagnosis that possibly a injection nozzle had said goodbye. was then taken to the workshop at Audi. Since the Audi workshop is about 100 kilometers away from my home, I informed myself this morning what was broken with my car. Then the shock for me. Something broke off on a cylinder head, a new head has to be mounted (only the head € 1800). On the other cylinder head side the camshafts have entered and have to be renewed as well. Now my question, this can be with a diesel 190000 kilometers What should I do, I can believe the Audi mechanic. What would you do? I am very grateful about your opinions. Thank you very much Gruss Schweizer99

@all A6 owner, we had bomb weather in the big room today, which seduced me on the few kilometers “free ride for free citizens” times my 2.8l V6 30V -Limo so really blow through. Besides the many orgasms with it, I got the impression: – that the steering nevertheless with increasing speed, especially } 180 km/h is too swabby and too little direct and sporty, even a bit dangerous and exhausting. – same is the side wind susceptibility, despite all roundness Suck corners, way too big. 1. Are you willing & able to share these impressions with me? 2. Are there any tried means to make the steering stiffer and more direct?

Tach, now I have the A6 2.5 TDI with Multitronic for a week. Of course there is a lot of enthusiasm. Especially the MT is the hit (if you forget the slight starting weakness). Today I have the adapter for the hands-free device (on the factory side in the center console) installed and see there, I can use with my Navi Plus no! function of the mobile phone. So neither call acceptance, phone book, number dial … That I now with such a comfort slide the middle console I can’t believe it. Not to mention the massive distraction while driving. What kind of experience do you have? Is it because of my old mobile phone (Nokia 6210) or is it not in general anymore? Greeting, Andre

I hope one can help me, I drive an Audi A6 4B 2.5 TDI 150PS Bj.05.98 and have retrofitted a cruise control unit and drove into a workshop to allow it to be unlocked. Everything worked out so far only that no current arrives at the cruise control system and the mechanic said that behind the engine control unit a large white plug sits with the 2 cables missing, no.9 and no.10. Now I hope that someone knows which cables are missing and how to replace them. I was told that you didn’t have permission from Audi to install or repair such a thing. Please help me. MfG. dasmotiv

Hi, on the last sat. (where it was so hot) I get into my A6 and what happens? I get only cold air blown in the face. Briefly read out the error memory with the codes for the climate and the result -> Coolant deficiency in the compressor. On Monday then to the friendly. Spare parts ordered and installed on the di. My A6 is 01/99 and has now 78000 km. Apart from that it is already embarrassing if the compressor after 5 years or a nevertheless quite low Leistu ng is already in the ass no the thing is still expensive. I still have this Audi CAR guarantee but the only thing that is guaranteed is that you always have to pay what yourself. fortunately I have to pay now only 220€ instead of 1030€. After all, the climate is now cold again. But since the new compressor is in it, my car sounds like an airplane turbine. You can hear my car when I’m at the entrance to the village and it’s not the stero system you hear. ́The sound is even but forever Is it now considered normal? Has one of you experienced it? Mfg Stephan

I’ve been standing at the door since yesterday with a new / used A6. when I tried it a week ago, I already noticed the jerking while braking. I made it happen at the contract signing and the really nice and helpful salesman promised a indulgence to get rid of the jerking. At the vehicle collection / test drive everything was fine. On the way home ( Hof => Frankfurt 310km ) I had the impression that with every km it was the i The brake discs are all very good, new blocks on the back, no new ones on the front, but in view of the fact that the brake discs are all very good, new blocks on the front, no new ones on the front, no new ones on the front, and no new ones on the front. I was not able to keep up with the speed of the brakes, I had to slow them down under the circumstances. He thinks they have probably been changed around with the discs and the blocks in the back due to the jerking. I still have a new car warranty until 05/2005. but it is 100% a wear part (which is not worn out). what would you do now? help?
