#249 of 298 Re: Hope I got a good deal [audipayton] by jackteh Sep 12, 2005 (9:27 pm)
Replying to: audipayton (Sep 22, 2003 12:03 am) Hi, I also just brought a 1997 Audi A6 Quattro at $6600. But it have 136000 miles on it.All equipment is working fine, but need your professional advices on some issues...... 1) Is the A6 running on timing belt or chains? 2) Where can I replace the transmission fluid? 3) I brought an uncut key from E-bay, where to get the key duplicated? 4) my RPM read 3500rpm at 65MPH, is it normal?   Thanks!!!

Replying to: jackteh (Sep 12, 2005 9:27 pm) There is no way to check the transmission fluid on these cars without putting them up on a lift. Most shops CANNOT handle the transmission fluid change, due to the unusual way the trans cooling is set up. I once had my 1996 A6's transmission destroyed due to underfilling of the fluid by an incompetent shop. Be sure to find a shop with extensive Audi experience, or it might even be worth going to a dealer. Far better to just leave it alone than to take it to any old place for a fluid change. 3500 rpm 65 is normal. I have had four Audis & have driven them very hard for hundreds of thousands of miles. They are good value for the money. Good luck with yours. Replies to this message: marleybarr (Oct 31, 2005 7:19 am)

#253 of 298 Replacing third light brake lamp by plwlrfn Oct 31, 2005 (4:24 am)
Any ideas as to how to replace the "third eye" brake light? Do you access this from the outside or inside? Any tips?   Thanks

Replying to: victor77 (Sep 19, 2005 1:12 pm) Victor77 is absolutely right. There is no dipstick on the Audi transmission. Audi claims the fluid is "lifetime" and doesn't need to be changed. My experienced independent Audi shop says change every 50,000 miles.Also, be sure to .use the special "petrosin" transmission fluid, about $12/qt., you'll need 6 quarts, and a new Audi transmission gasket kit, about $27.00 from some of the internet Audi parts places. Bringing this car, for any reason, even a simple oil change, to a non-Audi experienced shop could mean real disaster for you and your pocketbook.
#255 of 298 XM Radio Antenna Install & Vehicle Update by john56 Dec 12, 2005 (10:29 am)
Is the antenna on the top of the Avant easy to remove so I can feed the XM antenna cable through the roof? I cannot find how to remove it. There seems to be a little slot that I assume does something. Any help would be appreciated.   2001 A6 Avant with 75K - purchase Jan 05 with 48K for about $20K. Car has been great other than frozen caliper($600) - bent wheel($125) - sticky windows($0 for lube but will replace guides for $300 both fronts) - Get 23mpg in mix driving - 24+ on hway at >75. Love the car.
#256 of 298 '98 A6 Wagon - electrical problems by bycenter Jan 03, 2006 (11:09 am)
has anyone NOT been able to unlock their Audi? All of a sudden I can't get the programmed key or the actual key to unlock the car on the driver's side. After several tries, I got the passenger side open, but all of the windows went down too. Is this a problem with my entire electrical system?? Or an isolated lock issue? I'm afraid of the expense in fixing this - Any idea what fixing this will cost? Is it worth it?
#257 of 298 2004 A6 Avant Quattro - was it a deal? by hawaiidriver Jan 31, 2006 (8:11 pm)
Just purchased a 2004 A6 Avant 3.0l , 13K miles. Still has 2 yrs warranty left on it. Paid $28,500. Did I get a good deal? Replies to this message: jodar (Feb 09, 2006 6:27 pm)

Replying to: hawaiidriver (Jan 31, 2006 8:11 pm) That sounds like a great deal to me. I have an '01 Avant, with the 2.8, also purchased with relatively low mileage and aside from some small, but expensive issues, it is a very nice car. The extended warranty (7yrs/100k) has helped pay for some costly repairs (alternator), so I would get one if you plan on keeping it for a long time and it isn't too costly.   The versatility and AWD features of this vehicle are pleasant and rewarding for me. At some point, I'd like to get installed a aftermarket iPod connector for those long drives.
