2000 Audi allroad quattro A6 review from North America
"High performance, but poor reliability with many bugs yet to be fixed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both driver and passenger side windows needed the guides replaced.
The instrument panel become hard to read as the letters appeared to streak and darken at the edges.
The GPS stopped working after the dealer replaced the instrument package.
The sunroof guides broke.
The rear window shade started to bind and was replaced after the second complaint.
The fuel gage started acting intermittent and it was replaced.
The front bumper was destroyed while making a right turn onto a street with an average size dip.
The windshield wiper washer fluid hose came off and drained all the fluid from the tank.
My AM band on the radio went dead.
My windshield wipers sometimes won't start unless I put switch to full speed.
The check engine light has come on numerous times and each time I am given some nondescript reason which always includes the phrase "and we reset a bunch of codes".
Need to replace Oxygen sensors just after 3 years.
The climate control fan (s) have developed an intermittent chirp sound at some combination of rotation speed and temperature.
The transmission occasionally appears to slip and then engage with a hard thump.
General comments?
The car is fun to drive when it's not at the Audi dealer.
