A6 leases have been bad over the last year or so, but on Audiusa.com, they do have a pretty agressive A6 lease  549/mo on nicely equipped $50,000 3.2 Quattro right now.

Has anyone ever used BG 44K fule additive or BG MOA oil additive? If so, are they any good? I have heard good things but I am leary about using them on my 05 4.2.

Save your money, just maintain your car exactly as Audi recommends.

I agree & wouldn't put any additives in. The older your car gets, you might want to do sythentic oil every 5k instead of the regular 10k service intervals.

Even that will be excessive. I pulled the heads off of one of our cars last summer, a car with nearly 145,000 miles on it and had only had its Mobil 1 changed every ten to twelve thousand miles since it was new. So? Well, believe it or not, the cylinder walls still had the factory honing marks easily visible to the naked eye on all six cylinders. Given that I've torn down many-many engines and never seen an engine lubricated with conventional oil go even 75,000 miles with such a small amount of wear, I was really impressed.

Going back 30 years, I changed the oil in my 240Z every 3K miles (more or less) & at 200K miles decided to tear the engine down because it smoked on startup. Didn't use a lot of oil, but the consumption had gone up.
Well, all I needed was stem seals (if you don't know what they are, it's a relatively simple fix that can be done from the top without tearing the engine down) & I was pleased (& impressed) to see the hone marks in the cylinders after eight times around the world. I still respect Nissan & straight sixes (not in that order) after that.
Bear in mind that oils in the '70's weren't anything near as good as they are now.
Change the oil on a regular schedule & use the best money can buy. Repeat.

The motor in the original 240Z was one of the great motors of that era.

try to replace the fuse(s) for the dash lights, etc. Should be very inexpensive ($10!) Not sure if Audi has them all labeled in the owners manual. Don't let the dealer charge you for a new dash if you haven't had someone look at that first. Same was happening on my Saab (when it was 6yo). Otherwise it could be a defective dash illumination switch.
