1999 Audi A6 Quattro review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Its uncanny how the issues I am experiencing currently with my A6 Quattro, 1999 is as per some of you have reported.
In the last month I changed the CV boots, Control Arms due to a grinding sound while turning the car to the left. I spent approx 1400$ for that. Now all of a sudden I have my coolant leaking to which the Service station responds as there being a leak due to the water pump. There are recommending I change the water pump and while I am at that I should change the timing belt too. What do you guys feel?
Can you recommend what else I should change while he is messing with the water pump? I believe the labor is not much more if I were to change the belt while changing the pump.
