2000 Audi A6 review from North America
"Wish I had never bought it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown spark plug wire leading to blown oil pump.
Fuel pump needs replacing - (maybe. cold weather spell and now the car won't start)
Tie rods replaced.
Passenger window motor replaced.
Cup holders all broken - will not come out.
Replaced exhaust parts.
General comments?
My personal mechanic advised me not buy this car, however after driving a mini van for several years I wanted to spoil myself. Wish I had the mini van back. Tie rods - upper and lower - to the tune of $1,100. Oil pump and new spark plugs and wires - $1,500. Window motor - $450. CEL came on - cracked lines in exhaust - $300 and still counting. Now we've had a cold spell and the car won't start. Not a battery problem - it is either fuel pump or cams. In my mind the ride of this car is not worth the expense to fix it. As soon as it is running again, I will be selling and buying something else. perhaps not as flashy, but certainly more dependable and inexpensive to fix.
