1997 Audi A6 review from North America
"Way too many problems!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After one week of owning my A6, the heated seats started to melt the leather on the drivers side. Audi said it would cost around 2,000 to replace.
Then the coolant light came on and I was told it needed a new water pump. I also decided to change the timing belt since it hadn't been done. This first repair cost 1,300.
Then two weeks later I started to smell a burning scent, like burning rubber, also the brake light came on. I was told there was an oil leak. This repair was 1,300 once again.
Also when I went to pick the car up and pay, I was told they found another 500.00 worth of work. I guess it was a right front guide link.
To make a long story short I HATE the car! Yes, it looks nice, but it's not reliable at all. Why are Audi's great cars if they always have expensive problems? I'll stick to Toyota's from now on. There's no one I need to impress that bad.
