  More maintance than I can afford - 2001 Audi A6
  By Tim - June 21 - 7:41 pm

  Bought it used thinking I could put 200,000 miles on it. Not so, Engine gaskets and seals twice, frozen turbo, Airbag controller those are the $1,00 plus. Less than $1,000 tie rods, control arms, misc suspension parts, window guides, differential seals (all 3), O2 sensors. Fun to drive , great to look at but built poorly.

  Poor quality car - 2001 Audi A6
  By Edwin - July 19 - 12:41 am

  This is our second Audi and like the other one, after 50K we ran into multiple defects (engine failures, electric windows, leaks). Our latest repair at 60K miles, is more than $3K. Its a fun car, but after the free maintenance periods (multiple repairs too, but since its free maintenance and warranty you tend to brush over these quality issues), the poor quality becomes too much.

  By jchambers - October 13 - 2:00 am

  great performance and comfort. quattro is bonus in New England weather--but Ive had transmission and electronic problem ever since I drove it off the lot. I have the 4.2 LOADED, the car was $52K- I expected so much more for that kind of money and a german automobile. Will never get one again or recommnend to anyone.Thank God its a lease.

  What was I thinking ? - 2001 Audi A6
  By Joe - August 15 - 6:13 pm

  The first 4 months were great, then the problems started ... weird problems, you open the sun roof and the air conditioning would stop working, turn the headlights on and the wind sheild wippers turn on, accelerate on the highway, ABS lights come on, brakes are applied and you couldnt go over 20 miles / hour/ And the worst thing is, the dealer doesnt know how to fix it. Im gonna trade it in.

  Nothing but poblems - 2001 Audi A6
  By Disgusted - July 23 - 2:14 am

  This is a fun car to drive, that is when it is not in the shop. Ive had so many problems with this car that I will never every consider an audi again and judging with all the things Ive been reading on the Internet, Im not in the minority. It seems like they are incapable of fixing the electrical problems assocaited with this series. What ever happened to German Craftsmanship and quality. Maybe this car was made in East Germany !

  Problems - 2001 Audi A6
  By Disappointed - May 19 - 10:33 am

  Performance is outstanding, but here are the problems Ive had recently: Check engine light is always on. Car wouldnt start, doors wont lock, alarm, windows , sunroof, controls on steering wheel, interior lights dont work. Headlights flash if I lock the car. Airbag replaced. If stuck in traffic on a hot day, the temp gauge heads for the red zone. Need to sell the car or move next door to the Audi dealership.

  The Car I Thought I Always Wanted - 2001 Audi A6
  By Jesse - June 22 - 2:00 am

  The 2.7t in a word: amazing. Connection to the road: excellent. Cabin: very nice. As my lease comes to an end, I am pleased to say so long to my “dream car”. My problem? Maintenance! When the Audi Advantage plan ends prepare to pay. My car has spent weeks in the shop driver seat, dashboard lights, and brake pads all replaced. Plastic pieces broken turbo pieces cracked and it seems both the check engine or airbag light is on. The newest problem is sounding like a serious suspension problem. These problems could be attributed to demanding driving, but most of the time this car is simply a commuter. Choose this car be advised of a high maintenance bill!

  Loosens up & too expensive to maintain! - 2001 Audi A6
  By tonyde - April 12 - 2:00 am

  We are faced with putting $5K of routine maintenance into this disappointing ride. Turbos clogged, oil leaks, suspension problems, etc. It was billed to us as a family sedan w/ some pick-up-and-go. I had no idea it would be more expensive to fix than a porsche. Next time, Ill just buy one of those instead. Also, the car drives much looser now, compared to my E320 Benz. Audi can keep its line of products for the gear heads.
