2001 Audi A6 review from North America
"Great when runing right"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have been loosing coolant for several months, just disapearing. Took it to the shop, told me they could not do turbo work, towed to dealer at my expense. Dealer said my warranty company had to pick themselves up off the floor, front and rear dif seals, tranny seal, cv joint boot, both turbos, after-run pump, and last, but not least tranny cooler. They sent the war. company an invoice for just over 7000! Anyway, war only pays 65 an hour dealer charges 95 an hour. War will only cover 18 hours and the turbos are a 30 hour job. I am very upset, and will never own an audi again. This car is a money pit even with an aftermarket warranty.
General comments?
Great driver when it is running, VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, handles and accelerates great in all weather, brakes fade fast.
