2001 Audi A6 Avant review from North America
"Nice drive - very poor reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Lamps burning out
2. Cam Tensioner gasket replacement for oil leaks. Oil leak was dripping on exhaust. On further examination Audi said that this was the problem, and charged $1800 for the repair!
Looks as though this is a chronic problem on Audi A6s.
Audi doesn't want to acknowledge this.
