2003 Audi A6 s.e from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing, apart from some plonker crashed into the back of it, so that's new bumper new boot lid and new lights.

WHAT a car its fantastic in every way, the engine is great god its quick to and it glues to the road lovely car, my husband would trade in his merc for this car, the sound system is great 2, nothing can out run it on the motorway with the mid range power. oh wot a car.

Hey back now down the line 65.000 miles later,

and its in big trouble all the electrics went on it the other day,

it takes about 5mins to start the darn thing

and I am having trouble with the auto gearbox it keeps slipping.

Not the perfect car anymore!!

I am going to bmw from now on.

So all these problems... what did you do to abuse the car? Audi cars are renowned for their reliability & long life - unless abused.

I agree I had a 1998 Audi A4 from new and had a starting problem with the car ONLY after 1500 miles which was shocking. Overall the car wasn't bad, but mechanically I'm not sure. Got rid of car after 35,000 miles in 2001.

Is this car like the Passat? I have just been reading the comments on those, they sound attrocious reliability-wise.

I have had several Audis, both petrol and diesel, and apart from some minor electrical glitches (windows and locks), they have been solid, reliable and dependable. It is very important to keep the cars maintained at an Audi dealership. If these cars are as unrealiable as you suggest, then I am not sure why the resale values, particularly on TDIs, is so strong - it just doesn't make sense. The car buying public are not that poorly informed.
