2001 Audi A6 Quattro review from North America

Since I purchased the vehicle, I have had the cam seals replaced twice. However, my A6 is certified preowned and it only cost me $50.00.

My check engine light has come on twice and the dealer informed me that my exhaust converters are bad. Being a mechanic myself, I find it hard to accept that both converters have gone bad at only 84,000 miles.

My rotors have also warped twice. I'm in the process of installing after market cross drilled replacement rotors.

My sun roof leaked so badly that the dealer had to replace the entire headliner when the leak was finally repaired.

All of my door window regulators have been replaced at least once.

My front suspension is very noisy. I have had a tie rod end replaced and ball joints.

As others owners have said, $1300.00 seems to be the magic number for all repairs not covered in my certified warranty.

My A6 is super fast! Speed and power were the two main reasons I purchased the vehicle. Twin turbos and tiptronic transmission create a fun combination also.

But the cabin has a lot of noises. Almost like a creaking noise. The dealer told me that everything was "within specifications".

The transmission operates well, but sometimes feels disconnected when I let up off the gas. When I accelerate, there is a hard slam as the transmission reconnects. It was recently checked by the dealer who again told me they could find nothing wrong.
