2000 Audi A6 from North America - Comments

I drive a 2000 2.8 A6... it's at 99k miles... I have come to realize that a lot of people don't keep up on regular maintenance on their vehicles and count regular maintenance parts as problems they have had... you can't count CV axles, brakes, MAF sensors, valve cover gaskets, water pumps, thermostats, accessory belt tensioner, those cheap plastic vacuum lines, O2 sensors, and catalytic converters as problems with the car... my car has been through all these parts listed above... the only problem I've had is that they all went bad within days of each other, and that the car weighs a million pounds and goes through tires and brakes FAST... other than that, this car has taken TWICE the beating my Integra Type R took.

Hello,

I just got a pre-owned A6 3.0 2002, and I have the Chk engine light flashing from day 1, too bad cannot go to the dealer as I bought it in an AS-IS agreement.

I just love my car, it runs really smooth & is a beauty all the way.

I have a couple of issues I would like people to help me on:

1. The most common thump on acceleration, what to do to prevent it.

2. Just got the timing belt and water pump replaced, but seems like the OBD-II indicator says it needs a new right cat. converter, where should I go in for it & how much does it cost to get a new one? I need your suggestions ASAP.

Also, any other maintenance tips are most welcome.

I have a 2000 A6 2.7T and I've had it since 60k miles, Now it has 133,500k miles. I have replaced both front axles, water pump, timing belt, driver's window motor, gaskets and regular brake sensors, pads and disks, turbo lines and now the turbo's are leaking small drops, my mechanic said it should give me another 70k miles until I need to replace the turbo's. Anyone knows anything about this?.

Overall happy with the car, regular maintenance I guess. I have never had a car this long before trading in for a new one. I have enjoyed the car a lot. Thank you.
