| I just changed my wheels today to put winter tires on my 2000 Audi A6. I used my parking brake (which I rarely do), but when I finished and went to drive the car, the parking brakes were stuck, even though the hand lever was released and returned to the "off" position. Has anyone had this problem of a sticking parking brake, and can anyone offer any solutions? My car is now sitting stuck in place in my driveway. Thanks. | |

have an 04 Audi A6 s-line. It has low miles, 28k and it's warranty is up. The extended warranty is for 3 yrs or 36k miles, which puts me at 64k. Is this worth $2800 for a car with low miles????

Replying to: 23jefferson (Dec 11, 2007 5:27 am) $2800 is only $78 per month for the 3 years; if you like insurance, $78 per month could probably throw another half million in your life insurance policy...not to suggest the odds of collecting on a life policy is equal to the odds of catastrophic repairs on an A6  If I were looking at a used A6 with only 28k miles I wouldn't bother with an extended warranty because I would think with the miles so low it should “last” much longer without serious repairs. What was your total repair bill last year? If you need repairs, such as suspension, HID's, transmission, etc. it will be very expensive. Any single item probably wouldn't top $2800 (unless you need to replace the transmission). Is this warranty a 3rd party, or an Audi extended warranty? As a co-worker's divorce attorney puts it “...it's only money, how much peace of mind do you want?”

Replying to: 23jefferson (Dec 11, 2007 7:03 am) I personally am in favor of it. The Audi A6 is a great car but complex and prone to little glitches that cost a lot to repair. This year alone, I've had over $2500 of warranty-covered repairs to it (defective adaptive light, sun roof stuck open, door creaking, adaptive light again, etc...). I would not take this car out of warranty without an EW. Granted, it will not cover as much as the factory warranty, but is better than going "commando". Yes, on average, one may or may not pay $2500 in repairs during the life of the warranty, but with an Audi, it doesn't take that many repairs to cover it, and the peace of mind is definitely a factor to consider...

| My car is 2 months shy of 3 yrs. old, and I'm itching to enhance the sound. Any recommedations about a cat-back w/b appreciated. | |

I am looking at Buying a pre-owned A6. I do not know anyone first hand that has this car. I have a couple of questions: 1) Roomy in side? 2) Maintenance on the car high or low? 3) How is the trunk space? 4) Good Family car? whatever feedback anyone can offer would be great thank you.
