1997 Audi A6 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Overall Excellent Purchase"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front Wishbones - The front lower/rear wishbones had play and caused minor suspension noise when traveling over bumps, rocky surfaces or light braking at moderate speeds
Passenger side front window will not complete its upward journey, requires new window kit.
General comments?
Other than these minor common faults this car is exception at 100K miles. The brakes remain responsive, suspension and steering spot on, transmission feels robust and remains excellent, the turbo boost is linear, and all other systems work brilliantly aside from window issue noted.
Economy is surprising with a motorway and city run coming in at well over 35mpg.
The interior wear is non-existent and all fit and finish remains top, even after the previous owners children and dogs.
